But the Applebee's there had ice cold beer so that's one point...

Hope everyone had a lovely Christmas - I have been following along but haven't had time to post. Been a bit nuts here - I have a burst pipe in the ceiling from the cold so am kinda camping in my own home and trying to dry stuff out.
Hoping I can get a plumber here in the next day or so, but they are so busy it is hard. I guess my pipes are not the only ones that succumbed to the cold!

There are babies too I tried to get photos but dada wouldn’t let me see them

Yep must get a loan of him in the Spring haha!

I have a better idea. In the spring when you have a broody if Marty has not snuck off and hatched her brood yet. I suggest give the girl 4 eggs. 2 borrowed from where you board the horses and 2 from everyone's favorite power couple Mr. P and Marty.

Nice to see them sleeping together early. The other night I happened to see a bit of shenanigans when I checked on them. Hazel was sitting on the towel with Peanut, and pecking Popcorn's feet and toes as she was trying to stand on a corner of it. Popcorn hardly moved, just shifted a bit. Butters was in the nest box, she often starts out there. Hazel then squinched forward and got her head between Popcorn’s legs and lifted and pushed her sideways so that she had to step into the nest box. She settled there with Butters. Hazel and Peanut had the entire pad to themselves. Why was that necessary?

Why, that is The Way Of The Chicken. But you know, with these guys it’s all pretty mild.

So here is a nice view, they are looking very peaceful tonight, no fighting and all snuggled up with each other, it’s 13F now. Butters did start out in the nest box because she was there when I checked on them and closed the manual pop door. The camera is angled funny, I had moved it out of the way and forgot to right it, thinking the AutoDoor was bumping it and that’s why it thinks it’s blocked (nope).

Maybe that might (just might) be the only good thing about visalia!

Oh, that’s too bad about your pipes! Hope you can get help soon. That’s interesting that it’s a ceiling pipe though. You’d think that it would be warm up there. Does it go near an outside wall?

I’m plumber, I can fix it (kidding)

Visalia: the town where the thrift stores are bigger than the department stores!

Well it may not be a ceiling pipe. The water is just coming through the ceiling.
Ugh.
