I hope you know that this is a supportive group here. We are not here to judge you but rather to support you. You are always welcome here no matter what!

That's our Bob boy for you

Do you mean the pool shed?

I thought it was another coop

Dotty’s mugshot for Monday.

These next two shots are out of focus (photographing Dotty is difficult if you don’t want to lose your fingers) but they show what a mess she is still in. This is on the day she got sopping wet and of course then it was below freezing at night. She is definitely eating - you can see her crop bulge - and I could see some new feathers coming in.

She is a lovely lady even when a little disheveled.

What a lovely job, Bob!

Will be so much easier to keep clean, given you happen to have a 'house chicken' or two. [I'm sure Betty will become a house chicken, too...just give Mrs @ BY Bob a small, teeny, tiny bit of time to make that happen!!!]

I believe that you are correct.

Wild. They 'swing by' here to clean up under the bird feeders, then head across the street to my neighbor, who puts out a smorgasborg of food for them on a platform feeder.

It's snowing again...giving atm a light powdery dusting over a slick layer of ice (from the small amount of snow that melted into pathways yesterday...then froze) I almost went on my kiester this morning with am chicken chores!
@Ponypoor this is for you,

I haven’t seen any this year which is unusual.
Instead I am seeing lots of geese They stay in the air but there are many every day. Seems late to me.

Maybe it's the weather changes

 

[BY Bob]

Do be careful!
That snow on top of ice thing is what I was dealing with. It is scary stuff. Fortunately mine is all gone now.

Edited: new weather advisory for this morning - freezing rain with ice accumulation followed by snow. Ugh. It’s back!

I thought there was no weather coming this week at all! Crap! Now I need to check!
