BYC Café

[SkyAJK]

This recent week I have crows hanging around my chicken runs, they steal food and my chickens just chill out with them. Only 1 pullet trying to chase these crows and she is smaller than the crow. I have now hide chicken foods under their coops. The crows are so smart, they hangout on my roof looking down at the chicken runs. My dogs just lay there in the garden and look at the crows in action. They are only chase off the crows whenever they saw me doing it.

Good morning Cafe. Coffee is ready.

I just got back from the Ithaca airport dropping C off. He is going home to KY for a week.

I dewormed the flock last night and decided to forego trying to dose them by feeding them bread soaked with the dewormer. I tossed an old bath towel over each bird, straddled them with my legs then got the beaks open and dripped in the safeguard. Over half the flock didn't hold it against me when I released them and willingly took their raisin reward.

Fabio practically strolled into the brooder room to get his dose and didn't struggle at all. He can be such a good boy when he wants to be.
I'm curious to see what came out overnight. It has been a long time since they've had a good deworming. I've seen a roundworm twice over the last 2 months. I know they have had them.

Good morning, and thanks for the coffee. @DobieLover sounds like the pain level is under control?

@DobieLover sounds like the pain level is under control?

Not really.
I've said over and over, it is MUCH better than before the surgery. I am mostly functional. But every day, I still experience moderate to severe pain.
Yesterday was a great example. I did not workout, just puttered with painting and walking the dogs and the leg seemed okay in the morning (I take my Rx pain meds in the morning). By the afternoon, the leg was burning down to the ankle. It was burning on the drive out and back to Ithaca this morning. And I took my meds at 3:00 am before we left because it was hurting.

I've talked to my surgeon's office about getting the injection that couldn't be done before the surgery. The nurse said "Absolutely. We'll give you a referral back to the pain clinic".
To which I replied "Does anyone other than Dr. B do that injection there because there is no way that man is touching me again!".
She said "Yes, I remember you talking about how badly it hurt."
I said "I don't think it will hurt this time. That isn't why he's not touching me again." Then I told her what he had done.

She said "I would NEVER put you through that again! I'll make some calls and get back to you".

This is the first time I've told anyone in the medical community what he did and WHO did it. Now it is circulating around UHS Neurology.
I don't care how good he is at his craft. You simply do NOT treat your patients the way he treated me. He needs to be held accountable. And I have had more than one person say to me "Yeah. I can see him doing that" after I told them what happened.

If five were taken at one time, I doubt that it is a raptor. More likely a mammalian predator of some sort.

I am not sure they were all taken at one time.

I did not go out every day to see my chickens.

The weather is a-changin' now. Windy, and it will usher in the more seasonal temperatures, and later, precipitation. It's the beginning of the long slog until spring.
