Hi Alex.

How's Blu?

WooHoo! I'll make that pic into a pinup, for BLU's perch in the coop!

Interesting, I was doing a bit of a check on Queenie, and saw how gray in the front her leg scales are, wondered if that was normal! I see it probably is. You've got a fluffy ball of chicken with Goldie there! I am making calls to locate at least part of her flock if possible. I am totally into caring for her but she must be traumatized and terribly lonely now. She saw something in the room where she is and started making a low tapping/purring/rumble sound, not a happy sound at all. I don't know what to do for her about that.

Spend some more time with her, so she's got you for company.

My friend in the background is 6ft 5in tall (For scale)

That's a decent height! He'd fit in well with our family!

Yes we do.

Good idea.

He towers over me!

The snow provides a new weapon in the battle of RC vs the Rodents. I can tell places of entry from footprints in the snow!
The good news is all the places I have sealed off are indeed sealed off. But I found two possible entry points that way.

You need a script for amprolium? I just get it in powder form at the fodder shop here. In fact, I gave my girls a preventative dose this morning given that it’s so humid.

Canada be crazy.

Yes, and yes... you know @featherhead007’s post about the fish mox got me thinking... the exotic pet fish market here is probably either booming or completely tanked. I used to keep a fresh water tank and fish are quite delicate when it comes to some bacterial infections. I don’t know of any vets that specialize in fish, and as you can’t get the antibiotics without a prescription... So, what do you do? Just stick your pet angelfish in a baggie and tote them off to the vet for a checkup, where the vet breaks out a super tiny waterproof stethoscope “yes, your fish has a bacterial lung infection... congratulations, you may now buy fish mox to save it!” Available for just $10 at most Walmarts in the USA. “Oh, and here’s your $80 bill for the exam fee, and your script, the medication will be in and available for pick up in just 2-3 business days!”

Those buggers! Nasty old sheep!

It got worse... far worse. Not only did they knock over Andrew’s good BBQ (the cows already took out the old junker one and the little tabletop one we use at the markets), and my propane tanks, they also Tossed about several empty Jerry cans I am cobbling together to give back to the farm (Long, long story, summed up with “In-laws”). They were chasing my chickens! They ate my chicken feed, and remember the picture of Gus in the trailer? Apparently you can fit several sheep in there as well. So I had to herd ten sheep out of my yard this evening before putting the girls up. I have to say, the one black one and G25 & G26 were almost cute...
