BYC Café

[CapricornFarm]

Good morning, cafe. Still morning? Made a fresh pot.

Chick is feeling pretty rough and seemingly depressed about her toe. It broke lengthwise back into the hair. The vet said to either trim the toenail so it doesn't hit the ground when she walks or grab it with a pair of pliers and yank it out. View attachment 2374340 I'm not even sure what you'd pull out. The entire nail? The bottom half? May try to trim it, but basically will be pinching the two halves together. I'm sure it will hurt. Any thoughts?

Winter is coming

You could file with a dremel tool.

Thanks for the hot chocolate Shad; lovely.
Still nice autumn weather here, so I've been making progress on the shed, which is slowly emerging from the under- and over-growth. It's really falling apart; the brick wall on the far side of the wonky door frame has been propped up near vertical since this photo was taken; the stone walls are good except at the tops, where the mortar is crumbling. But the wriggly tin roof practically disintegrates in the hand...

the timber under the metal is mostly rotten too

This'll keep me busy for a while methinx

Wow, look at all of that green stuff. Do you know how old that building is, Perris?

Let me look into my crystal ball. Wait...something is taking shape in the mist....I can see a...good grief it's a chicken!!

Are you going to try to repair that building Perris?

I have no idea what to do with that broken nail Meg. Is the quick dried up?

Yikes @Perris Be careful in there!!

Went for the hinges, should keep it in place when I scrape snow off of it, and I can take a quick peek when needed.
Only time will tell how it functions/holds up.
At least I feel like I accomplished something in the last 2 days.
Will install it tomorrow morning, best to do it while the birds are still in the coop.

Smoke so thick today it was like the fog! DH is home and DS$ is gone til Monday.
I have more tree work and firewood on the list for tomorrow and I am hoping the smoke blows somewhere else. I like your project, Perris!
