Well, Jewel’s paw is not getting better but I still can’t see anything wrong. I’m going to soak in Epsom salts and see if I can draw anything out. I needed an e-collar so she can’t kick it anymore, so I stopped by TSC. And they had chicks.

Banties.

For $1.50 each.

And I was walking along with strength in my heart until I saw. A. Frizzled. Cochin.

So I asked the lady, “minimum of 6, right?” No, minimum of 4. “I’m going to pretend you said 6.”

I got two silkies, two Cochins, a maybe sebright, a maybe serama, and that frizzle. Oh, that’s 7?

“I’m going to pretend you said the minimum is 7.”

After an hour, I had to let her out of the coop since the others needed to get in to lay. Spike headed straight back to the garage, with several stops at my kitchen window to complain that the garage door was closed again. sigh So a made her a nest box and set it on the sill outside the kitchen window. She was very happy... made the funniest little happy sounds, and then proceeded to scratch up the box and kick the hay all over! Weird chicken

Gee mom, took you long enough to get the message and make my special box.

Beats the dark corner! At least she isn't trying to get into the garage anymore.

My new view out the kitchen window, complete with hay and poop all over. :hmm Spike is in there somewhere, enthusiastically thrashing around.

Whose gun stocks?
Click to expand...
There is a place in town that mills wood and makes gun stocks out of walnut and sells them, mostly in Europe. We would go there to their MASSIVE mountain of scrap lumber and mill ends to get kindling for the wood stove. Sometimes you'd run across an almost completed stock that had some flaw in the wood and got tossed out. The boys used to play with these when they were little. Not too surprising they are still in the garage after all these years. :rolleyes:

They sure are. I needed banties for the tractor. They were all running around and looked pretty good, so I went for it.

Spike is cracking me up. Thanks for the story I enjoyed it. Is that wood sitting on top ? It dont look safe from this picture. Time for a wooden box.
Camp, they are lovely. What is wrong w/ Jewel? First I have heard about it. I remember last yr she swelled up from a possible bite .
