Who knew painting a coop...

[3LilBirds]

could be dangerous! Just got home from Urgent Care. I split my scalp open while painting the coop. They wanted me to get to ER because my bp was high and because of how hard I hit my head. I refused and asked them to just clean it and stitch me up. Who the heck can afford $250 copay for the ER? Not I, not right now. I still owe them $50 for last time. I ended up with 3 staples. They don't numb you for staples. LOL That was fun, actually it wasn't that bad. My nose piercing hurt way more. Now I can't wash my hair for 3 days. siiigh That's not easy for me. I like to wash my hair everyday. All I have to say is the coop better be AWESOME by the time it's done!

Yikes, how did you manage that? I can see bumping your head, but not enough for stitches...tell us how you did it!

It appears that chicken raising may be hazardous to YOUR health. Be careful. Headache this morning?

I feel like I have a wicked hangover, nausea included! Blech! I'm honestly not exactly sure how I did it. All I know it my kids heard it and came running. I know I was in the chicken run going to paint the front of the coop and I'm not sure if I stepped into the cross beam or stood up under it. I can't remember that part. lol What I do know is Hubby freaked out that I was able to hurt myself bad enough to need staples that he got rid of the cross beam by the time I got home. He also got the run completely finished! Woot! Now the birds can really stretch their legs today. Well it might rain...

You'd better be careful, so you can get the coop finished!

When you are finished, please post a pic so we can see!!!

I found your thread.....sorry that happened to you.....especially when you are so excited to start out....I see me love the same bird .....paint that coop ...I have a feeling I'll have some extras when i get my bator going....hehehehehhe...........everyone should have silkies and cochins

LOL Yes actually I do want to get 2 or 3 more pullets. My Black Cochin Frizzle died which broke my heart, so I only have one Frizzle left. We were also talking about maybe getting some buff silkies. Hubby loves the coloring of them.

We have all the same FAVs......I think I will try hatching all of these frizzle cochins,BBS silkies and black cochins. ....and have been looking into the breeder lines I want to purchase from for our base flock. .
