I'm trying too find a completely wet proof extension lead. I know I said no more chickens but but but
Well let's put it this way, I'm really having great contact with this this rescue.

They've found me a vet that treats chickens and have great reviews on all the animals they care for. Plus they do something called a payment plan.

How wonderful. I surely hope it works out for all of you.

There are lots of ‘wet’ condition extension power cables out there.

The question is: do you have an outlet on the outside of your dwelling. If not then you may have to pass it through a window, and use a towel on the gap created by the power cord.

If you do have an outlet on the outside of your place, then how far is the outlet to your Hen House I have run 100’ of extension cord, and those can be easily bought, and you can get them with a GFI - ground fault interrupt - which will cut the power to the extension cord if it gets a short.

So:
1) do you have an outlet
2) if so how far from it to the coop.

I'll get this measured up soon.

I honestly should not get any more but my head is just looking into if it's all possible. Maybe I will take a break for a while until my health stabilise's a little.

Dealing with pain has been a huge challenge lately. I think I've pulled a muscle below my rib recently at least I hope that's all it is

Princess doesn't want to stay outside as much lately. I think she's feeling the cold a lot more. Aren't we all

Take care with your new pain.

Might want to be sure muscle pain is all it is and check in with someone who can examine you and palpate the area. Especially if you can't associate it with a strain you felt during an activity. I know someone who assumed a pain was a muscle strain just below the ribs and it was due to something internal. Your insides are not very far from your outsides!

Thanks. It eased up a lot when I got on an antiviral Saturday afternoon. The current common variant isn't very lung-oriented, that's good. My face was just exploding however, and the antiviral has really helped that. My only regret was not going to get a PCR test right away, because that was a rough few days before I tested positive on the home test. DH would have had to drive me by the second day and I didn't push it, and I wasn't thinking straight.

I feel about the same day-to-day now. I don't see a lot of improvement since. However that's fine, I'm pretty tired and kind of whacked-out but I don't feel horrible, and nights are much better. Trying to stay hydrated enough, legs cramping in the early morning may mean I'm not doing enough, or it's how this thing goes.

So far my partner/DH hasn't caught it, good, hoping that doesn't change. I've been isolating up on the second floor and masking when I have to come downstairs.

It's kind of lonely though! DH and I aren't doing our daily things together like we usually do. So I'm here a lot. I only have a few hours of some mental & physical energy each day. I gathered our box of various Covid home tests, went online and and labeled them with the latest extended expiration dates. I've caught up on other paperwork. I work on a bit of music, my hands were hurting before but that's better now. I'm still very slowly taking ChickAtraz apart , it's embarrassing but it's still up more or less. I'm washing everything as it comes out.

The chickens are nice company when I go out there, and the kitty has decided to take a lot of his activities up here so that's been really great. I've noted him napping, washing, napping, getting scritches from me, looking out the window, napping, drinking from his little water bowl here, napping, washing again, getting more scritches, & more napping. Who could ask for more?

Here's hoping you break through and start feeling better soon.

Thanks so much for getting back on this. I really appreciate it.

I'll have to wait because the only doctor I trust is on holiday.

I may have strained myself because I find life a struggle with my back and spine pain. Plus I try to exercise by lifting my legs while laying down. I'm praying this is the reason. It's the opposite side for pancreatic disease it maybe in the gallbladder area I'm not sure.

That Marty has 'tude!
