Ughhh I'm sicker then a dog. Hit me over night like a freight train. The good news is I can take NyQuil and get some sleep because I don't have to worry about raccoons and oppossums..lol

Good news is the township came and cleared the biggest pile of trees I had. They even took the one over the fence. I must call and thank them tomorrow. I'm very grateful.

I have been leaving the water in the tub for the ducks during the day. They hop in before I leave and are in there when I come home.food is missing so they are getting out and eating. The mess with the flax bedding is minimal, so is the poop because it's in the tub and just disappears in the water.

I’m so pleased and excited I have to share.
I interviewed for a job I really wanted on Friday and they called today and offered it to me!!
This is a full time, Monday-Friday day shift position with great benefits and pay.
I’ll get all the holidays and vacation/sick leave.
This is a tremendous blessing for us as it will improve our quality of life.
The only drawback is that I probably won’t see my birds during winter except on weekends.
Thankfully it doesn’t last too long.

So sorry to hear you're not feeling well! I hope you feel better soon.
That's great that they came and cleared the trees.

@No More Empty Nest how have your daughter and her flock been? It's been a while since she's been on.

She got married in June and now she's about to be a bridesmaid in my son's wedding in December. A happy year for our family! I'll see if i can get her to stop by and say hi.

I posted a thread this morning because the chick has been doing something strange.
She starts frantically chirping and jumps around like somebody’s biting her but then she starts biting her own foot.
I’ve picked her up and examined her but I really don’t see anything that should cause her distress.
Sometimes she’s got a bit of wetness from stepping in the water and tiny bits of pine bedding.
I don’t know

She only does that occasionally but I’ve seen it enough to post about it and see if anyone knows anything.

Mom and baby are doing really well.

I’ve decided to name the baby Winter.
It’s a name that’ll work whether it’s a pullet or cockerel and fits because it was hatched Nov. 29.

Little Winter is now starting to grow wing feathers!
I took some cute pictures.

Look at that skinny naked neck!
You can see her wing feathers coming in here too.

What’s that strange rectangle you keep pointing at me?

Peekaboo!

It’s so nice to be able to warm up and get a snack at the same time

One! Two! Three!! Three eggs! One of my white layers has started.. based on size I am guessing the Polish!

I hope you find out what's bothering her. They're both so sweet!
