I've been pre-occupied the past few days and haven't had time to keep up with this thread. Hopefully I can have a chance to catch up on the missed pages (I currently am on pg 2290).
Ok, I need to vent...
my mother in law has been in the hospital since Saturday. We suspect her delerium was caused by not taking care of herself (missing meals, overexhaustion, and not taking her meds). She seems pretty coherent now and I hope she will be released today or tomorrow. My cousin was in a terrible motorcycle accident yesterday and broke multiple bones - they have removed part of his skull to relieve some brain swelling. We are flying down to Orange County Wednesday for a wedding and will visit him then. Oh yeah, and then there is that trip that we need to pack for, traveling with a 11 month old lends itself to all sorts of extra preparations. At some point we need to purchase a wedding gift too. Agh.
Venting complete, thanks for listening.
In chicken-related news, I moved the babies out to the big girl coop! The upcoming trip was my main motivating factor, that plus they were REALLY starting to stink up the house. The babies are only 6 or 7 weeks old but are fully feathered so I thought I would give it a try. The big girls (there are only 5 in a 50sq ft coop with a 250sq ft run) just give a warning peck to the chicks if they get in the way. The chicks learned quickly to respect the big girls! The chicks seem happy to have extra space and they haven't even discovered the run yet. They also seem to love the windows. If I have time I will get some pictures.
