JWB, how are you feeding the mommy? I'm going to go with free feed 16% protein as grower feed, maybe a bit lower for mommy, free feed hay and a carrot or apple or something per day. That's the idea at least. Hilma seems to like her new home. Tomorrow I'm going to start on a bigger residence though,
 
@vehve , We feed her regular rabbit pellets....Will look at the bag tomorrow on the protein content. She has water at all times. She also gets fruits or vegetables daily. Mostly carrots, but sometimes celery, lettuce, whatever scraps we have from meals. And a handful of alfalfa hay each day.

@Peepshow , very pretty eggs.

Well, I am going to try to get more sleep than my body is used to!

Good night!
 
I'm sick, so called off work and sitting in a level 3 snow emergency. I'm not going anywhere at all. I don't want to be arrested.
feel better

Bummer... Sorry about the test. Tests are no fun... Unless you know all the answers
yeah
I'll join the sickies. I called my pulmonologist yesterday before the storms struck. He'd gone home early due to pending storms. I asked to speak to a nurse. They took my woeful message and said a nurse would call me. Right. Never called. I have waited 2 months hoping a sinus infection to heal itself, but it keeps waxing and waning, and I am to the point I want some antibiotics 'cause its getting pretty debilitating.

The sun has come out on about 6 inches of snow, and it surely is pretty out there.

About having "equipment" to keep roads clear.

The public works administrator for Memphis was back peddling, explaining that the twelve "plow attachments with hydraulics" to attach to sand trucks had sat outside for ten years and ruined (due to a lack of inside storage space). Now they promise to buy some more and store them inside. Basically, this area gets few large snows, and when they do come, there is NO equipment to clear streets. There are sand trucks, and some few salt sprayer trucks, but no equipment for scraping or snow removal.
Things grind to a halt when it snows. Kind of peaceful though.

Chickens here have water and food that I trekked out huffing and puffing to put in their coop. I may try to take the heat lamp back out there, and keep the brooder chicks warm with incandescent light bulbs. Going to record breaking cold tonight for March, and zero F wind chill factor.
I am not one for dispensing drug advice, but I once had a sinus infection with such severe headaches that I ignored because I thought it was my tooth (terrified of dental work)- the infection was on it's way to my brain I suddenly could not see out of one eye. DO what it takes to get an antibiotic please.

@tntchix hihihi did you take more pictures of your gold laced wyandottes?? heya @Peep_Show !! How's it going? any suggestions for edible acid loving plants?
