I did get my main coop done taking it easy now but thank you Michelle
I do allow most things to get me down but that hurt it is not swelling to bad that has slowed down keep using it so it does not get stiff

Good idea. Keeping moving actually does help.
I've been having bad knee problems myself for about 2 years now. Got new orthotics about 1 year and a half ago and that helped a lot, but it's getting pretty bad again. Keeping moving actually does seem to help.

Wow, 2 rain days and I am noticing just how badly I have been neglecting my household chores oh well I suppose they will still be here when the cold weather sets in. Lol Instead I have 2 of the newly rescued / adopted ladies inside and have made them sock diapers so they can have some time out of their cages.
It is easy to tell why the frizzle is inside. Poor Freeta was the only hen for a very active rooster.
The Silkie is about 4 years old and permanently handicapped she must have hatched with splayed legs and no one helped her, instead they said she was attacked by a coon. . She is super sweet and follows me in the yard when I take her outside. Calling her Hairy-Et.

We also took in a family of Muscovy ducks. Amazed what quick work they made of the downsizing of the fly population!
Coffee time

Oh no, what happened to the chicks? Hugs.

Don't really know, did fine for a week. Looked in on them after getting home from work and all dead. They were eating, drinking, running all around. Wasn't heat stroke, I don't think a disease, either. I just don't know?

Sorry for your loss @007Sean

one of the 5 black copper marans 5 I bought drowned in their water bucket stupid knocked the lid off the bucket somehow fell in but not bright enough to get out I guess

Yep Penny, I've had pheasant chicks drown in the "drown proof" waterers before, it just is so frustrating and disheartening!
I'm going to do a necropsy on them and see if I can determine the cause.
Sorry about your little one!

Sometimes a surprise is fun. But it is nice to know for gifts, decorating etc.

I'm not really into "girl stuff" or "boy stuff", so that sort of thing doesn't bother me.
