Last time I checked, there were 4 hens in one nest box! Two at least are broody.

Good morning Cafe.
Coffee is made. Tea bags and kettle are on the counter.
Sunshine and blue skies here and still looking green and lush. It doesn't take many days of sun here to dry everything out. More rain forecast for tomorrow.

Don't have any. I hate getting acetone on my hands anyway. I'd rather have purple fingers!

Pumice stone, or even a green pad; the type one uses for dish cleaning.

Works for me.

I think you are supposed to lick it off. Saliva works as a solvent. Just don't inject it.

Oh! Thank you!! That worked. But the fingers with drylok paint on them tasted a bit off.

Try goo gone. It will help it fade.

I wear nitrile gloves when I use it

I didn't think about gloves when I saw about 10 locations with blood dripping down off the roosts. I just grabbed the bottle, found the bloody toes and dabbed. I didn't realize I'd gotten a bunch on me until Fabio started trying to get the raisins from my hand. What raisins?

Good morning, Cafe.
Have I mentioned the new love in my life? My new coffee maker is great. It's probably just "normal" but I think it's great! My normal morning routine after putting the dogs out is to start the coffee, prime the cat, feed the dogs, feed the chickens, feed the cat again and then grab a cup of coffee because the carafe will be at least half full by then. This new pot, the coffee is nearly done by the time I've fed the dogs!! No more waiting around for my morning cup.
I had cleaned and descaled my old coffee maker so many times I can't remember and it would help a bit but then it would just go back to painfully slow. Our water isn't particularly hard here either.
