Good luck sending good thoughts to you and I will be waiting for updates here

I survived the water survival qualifications today. Thanks everyone for the positive thoughts and prayers.

I don't know how to link videos or I'd attach a HUET video from YouTube.

That’s awesome - I never had any doubts

I received my D&A clearance letter so I am good to go Friday. Hope that darn horse gets on the trailer tomorrow!

It's all your fault, now make it all go away

Surprisingly enough they were subdued, I think the cold has been a bit of a shock to them. It was so beautiful and then so horrid so fast they didn’t get a chance to acclimate to the cold.

Go eat your blood pudding and fish and chips!

My grandmother loved blood pudding and made it along with head cheese, things one needs to grow up with to appreciate

Then don't take one. If you don't have the serious symptoms, what can you do beyond treating it like a nasty cold?

Very true. At this point take care of yourself and rest in bed, and a Plenty of fluids

Quail are not set in stone. I have plans, silkie plans next year that I will not budge on. That said, lets just say dad opened up a can of worms with his quail talk. I've never really sat down and researched them. I really want to know what I'm in for before I jump the gun and get them. I will say with my other feathered friends want list quail are possibly the only thing I could be set up to realistically have. I want a emu, not enough space or proper fencing. I also would not mind a turkey, but I see it eating the neighbors. Rosie wants a goose, too messy and again, eating the neighbors. Quails are tiny, and possibly easily contained and I have to check but I think fairly quiet.

Peacocks - they are awesome! Where I bring the horses they have a bunch

Some roost changes

I did some changes today, put in wider roosts and a set of steps for the silkies.

I laid 1x6 planks on top of the 2x4 roosts,

Next I removed the lowest step

Created a set of steps and Dry fit them, I had to raise the lower step a bit then dry fit again.

Then put them in place, they can be easily removed to clean the hen house.

There was a bit of drama going to bed, seems they were missing the side roost, but they did use the steps!!

Exactly the debate I was having with myself.
Two reasons to test. First if I knew I was positive I would cancel some social events on Friday so as not to spread it around. Secondly I would probably get paxlovid from the doctor.

Then take a test.
