I’m surviving. Still congested. And the headache won’t go away.

Best of luck general! You can win this battle for sure.

Hmmm, she will wins some battles, lose some battles. However, I'm positive she will ultimately win the war. They may have opposable thumbs, but we have tools!

I have managed this morning to thoroughly tick off several of my hens and they are loudly letting me know. I had a egg break in the porch box yesterday afternoon so first thing this morning I decided it was time to do a deep cleaning. All the old litter and hay was emptied from the wagon, a new bucket of sawdust placed in the bottom of it and the bottom of the nest boxes for cushion. I then put in fresh hay. Raven came up first to lay and has thrown a fit for the last 30 minutes. This has causes several of the other girls to come on the porch and join her in the complaining. None of them have so much as taken a single step inside the boxes. Apparently you can only lay a egg in a filthy box.

The chickens are absolutely freezing this morning and so am i. The cold breeze is a reminder that winter is not far away! So soon, to. It seems like yesterday it was so hot.

Em’s feet were icecubes this morning, all wet and cold. She was shaking and puffy. They all are cold but she is the only one with feathered legs, and it gets her feet more cold and wet.

How is everyone else doing with the cold? If its affecting anyone else.

That was worth it!

”Put it back how it was!”

Not possible, all the ick was dumped on top of the manure pile.

Em’s favorite spot. The strawberry patch.
