Hawkeye, I am guessing it is stress. Give him some yogurt, some crumbled boiled egg, and add pedialite to his water if you have some. He probably just needs a boost to get back to normal. I actually do the same thing when I travel!

Ivy, we have that problem every winter. The north/south road is the worst. You just have a path made by the snow plow (when he gets there)and then 8-9 foot drifts on each side. I always think if I hit one of those snow drifts they won't ever find my car cause it is so much higher than the car. Even DH's really big 10 cylinder 4-wheel drive truck got stuck last winter because the path was slick and he slid into one of the drifts. We had to drive the tractor almost a mile to get him pulled out. No cab! Burr! The road that goes east and west fills with snow on the other side of the creek so we are stuck between the two. I think it was 5 days before we could get out that one Christmas. The north wind whips around the house and the snow piles on the south side of the house. Then I can't get out of my back door. I have had to go out the front and shovel snow off the back stoop and make a path many times before I could get out to feed the birds.
Speaking of birds I failed to unhook and blow out my hoses yesterday. It was one of those days when my pain level was a 10. I didn't want to do anything. So this morning my miles of water hose are all frozen and the birds are all thirsty. I ran out quickly and poured water in the dog bowl. I guess I'm going to have to put the heated dishes and the stock tank heaters out soon.
Wouldn't it be awesome to have underground water lines and electricity to everything for weather like this.
Maybe when I win a few million :Dsome how I will get that done!
 
Chooks, what kind of room will you have? I have some larger boxes that might work if we can fit them in your vehicle. I'll have to go look. (when it warms up) Do you have any remote idea when you might be here? I think I will need to go get feed sometime Friday and deliver eggs to town. I will just work the schedule around you. If we can figure out a way to get it returned I could also let you use one of my cages to haul them in.

Having a "duh!!!" moment...this hotel coffee is really weak. I'll have boxes coming out my ears! I'm working in a grocery store that's readying to open...I'll have my choice of all the boxes in Wichita! Sheesh...

I'll fill my car with what looks best and show up ready to nab whatever you have. I'll find a store for pine shavings on the way. I'm thinking around 5-ish? I'll let you know if it changes. They should be easier to catch if they're going to bed, right?
 
Yeah they should be. I am hoping to find the time tomorrow to catch some and put them elsewhere so they will be ready for you. I guess a lot depends on the weather and how much I get done otherwise. Sending you a PM.
 
Canchaser-How's your hatch going?

Danz-Maybe this won't be such a bad winter.

I slipped and fell on my badonkadonk 3 times last winter. Broke my watering can one of those times and ended up sitting in a pile of wet slush, snow and ice. BRRRRR! I have a cookie tin water heater in the pens for my seramas to keep a little warmer. Do you think that's enough?

Hawkeye- Get that coop done!

We are all ready to celebrate with you!

Checoukan- I see you called. My phones dead but on the charger right now.

Trish44-When did you say you are getting your pups? We want more pictures! My dogs met me at the door this morning when I got home. They were happy and bouncing. They really like this cooler weather.
 
Here's a couple of pictures of some of my OE's.
These are Blue/Red cockerels. Hatched in late may and mid june. These boys will sold as pairs, and are ready to go!

I know Ivy does not care for the blue, but I sure do!

IVY, we're driving up to meet Candace the 26th to pick up the puppies. I will get pics as soon after I get them home as I can. It's going to be an adjustment for them, but at least they will have each other. For those who don't know yet we're getting TWO new pups instead of one. We thought they would do better that way.
 
I've been out draining the duck pond and am refilling it now. It was so dirty that the filter kept plugging. I sure hope I don't have to drain that every couple weeks this winter.
Got the new duck house finished. I need to go put some straw in it after while.
I came in to warm up and should be cleaning. Sure don't feel like it thought.
