First thing here was Buttercup jumping up and grabbing my fingers for treats! I picked her up and she tried to peck my face - what a brat hahaha!

I am glad you're home safe and sound, what's with the crazy weather?

It’s just the start of the end of the world

Maybe time for her tonsils to be looked at and come out - they don't do this routinely any more but sometimes if a kid is constantly sick like this they whip them out.... Might be worth asking about.

Rosie - get better! You have horse shows to get ready for!

OK so now the BIG question!

When do your eggs start hatching - you know I am living vicariously through you at the moment till my chicks arrive

Can't wait!

She has a appointment tomorrow. I think I will bring it up. I would not be so shocked with her getting sick at the drop of a hat if she was like this when she was smaller. Nope, until 2 years ago all she ever got was a stomach virus. Now someone sneezes in her direction and she is down with something. We have a while before the eggs start hatching, only on day 4. I did try to take a peak and see if there was any early veining in the lighter eggs last night. Too early to tell for sure, but maybe on a few.

Today something wild happend, I got baby chicks and it is so cute, she is a cross between my English araucana rooster and my favorite hen who is a olive egger.

I am ready to give up. Rosie finally got caught up from having to miss 2 weeks of school a month ago and she is sick again. Headache, ear ache, freezing and chest burning. My gut is telling me this is a sinus infection. It has been unseasonably warm and things are blooming a good 2 weeks early. I did keep her home as she was up half the night with her ear hurting. Will try to get her in with her doctor, I refuse to go back to that after hours clinic. I promise, if I hear strep or worse again I will cry.

any chance of letting her finish the school year from home?

While everyone has gone inside the cage... *clears throat* shed, Grandma is picking the dry concrete without a care in the world. I know this is normal but I just had to share this. Also, that is not concrete on her back. That's snow.

Only two, my Olive egger all of a sudden got sick and was floating between heaven and earth for a couple of days so the last two eggs she layed while she was normal we decided to incubate in case she died
