I'm back. have had some serious health problems. They think it is diabetic neuropathy. I can't stand and have difficulty walking. Then I am having respiratory problems that keeps me tired out. Haven't been out to the chickens in weeks. Thank god for the DW.
Karl, sorry to hear about...
Love the DLM. Started using it in MA for my flock of 6 and now in KY with my flock of 8. I also use a poop board under the roost and this keeps most of the Poop out of the litter. I has 1" sides on it so holds quite a bit. Usually clean out 2 -3 times a year depending on condition.
White stuff all over the back lawn this morning guess we had our 1st frost. My 2 SLWs spent the night in the run. When DW went to close them in the run it was dark and she didn't see them out there. Guess they didn't like it that I cleaned the coop yesterday.
Get the shots. I didn't. never had the pox so figured I was safe. Dr. just told me you don't have to have had them only to be exposed to the virus. My elementary class was an average of 50 kids so I am sure I was exposed.
It gets cold down here. We get some snow. Nothing like the Month of below 0 in New England. Snow usually melts in a day or two. Last winter was a strange one snow actually stayed around for a while. 50s at night now 80s during the day, Lots of space for dogs to run. Any of you who are...

Well I'm still here, Got a shot in the back for my lower back pain. Went to the back doctor and said I had lower back pain, He took pictures, sent me to have a MRI, and told me I had lower back pain, DUH . Well went for first shot on Wed. and it seems to be helping.

Bantys are good for soup, Mine has been keeping up with the big girls, she is giving an egg most days but does take 3 - 5 day breaks and they are a respectable 32grams. not quite a peewee. She also keeps the others from picking and pecking on each other as she draws all their attention but...
Well I've got a darn cold. Good thing is I have a Dr. appt. tomorrow anyways. Fighting with his office about meds. Otherwise, Beautiful day here. 70s and partly cloudy. I just might sit out in the sun and soak up some vitamin D. DW doing great after her total knee replacement, off walker...
