I keep forgetting that's an option. I was raised to tough it out.

Nobody hates taking meds of any kind more than me....trust me, but there are limits, 'speciallly if you can't stay in bed all day & wait for whatever the problem is to go away.

I must be thick as a board, 'cause I swear if I live to be a hunnert I'll never understand how the female mind works! I've read that post 10 times & don't see a problem with it.

She's just having a 'mind like a sewage tank' moment.

I figured that from the get go, & still can't figure it out

Time to get some work done here, as well. have some wood that needs splitting. Problem is, I don't own a splitter & I don't want to rent one for no more wood than I have that needs splitting. I saw cracks in some of it the other day, so I'm going to try splitting some by hand; I'm just not going to try real hard.



Well that didn't work so swift. Some of that wood, and I don't know what it is, just ain't gonna split by hand; not even with a wedge. There's some Black Walnut out there that should split easily with the splitting maul, but If I have to rent a splitter anyway, I might as well wait and split it all with a hydraulic splitter.

Hydraulic splitters are wonderful things.

We set cameras up in our subdivisions due to theft. You can watch the hooded person coming up to the poles with the cameras on them. Vibrating as they climb the pole and then all goes blank. They stole the cameras.

Have you guys ever had trouble getting two groups to integrate? I built two coops that are against each other with a combination run that you can either have it as one big poop and run or you can divide it in half. I shut the one half off and took the chicks out when they were old enough to leave the brooder and put them in the second half of the coop in May. Name the first Saturday in July when I took the cockerels to the poultry swap I opened up the division between the two sides of the coop so the six pullets could integrate. They have not become one group when I open the coop up they go out separately to free range, the rooster pays them very little attention, and they still Roost on their own side of the coop. Now that I am forcing them all to use one door the dominant hen won't let them in at night. These are Heritage Rhode Island reds too. In fact, they are their offspring they just went through the incubator.

No, never had a hen guard the door to keep others out. They do tend to split into their own groups while out free ranging though.

I am guessing a 90% chance, since my game camera were "bumped" off target and there is a shoulder and arm being seen opening the run door.

We would know better had someone not set the time in the date place and the date in the time place on the camera....It is remotely possible someones mother with memory problems opened the door in the middle of the night and allowed a predator in...BUT I am leaning towards someone I know or who bought birds from me and knew where I kept my show birds.


This occurred when I was either in the hospital or in bed recovering....

Rotten criminals!

I am well, and so is my sick goat. Your goats and rabbit photos looked good.

Good good.
