I agree, don't watch! Popcorn regularly chases the Spuds around, and she gave one of the Spuds a hard peck today when she didn't move fast enough. Life in the run is fine and dandy stretches, alternating with sprinting terror escapes. I'm not crazy about seeing the more brutal pecks in the daytime! Added more furniture yesterday, and they are using it. But Popcorn's mission of Keeping The Spuds In Their Place is mostly her day gig now and she doesn't put up much of a gauntlet at roosting I think. I actually haven't seen the last several evenings in the coop on camera. But they're not acting so worried about going in like they used to.
No, a video visit. They gave me an appointment less than half an hour from my call (but the practitioner was then 35 mins late...I just hung out here, way nicer than their office). A nurse called back right away, took a list of symptoms and history. Then when I got the script the doc said there are shortages and "if X doesn't have it they'll let me know electronically and I'll send it to Y" (bigger pharmacy but not my preferred), and agreed I should call the place first. DH decided to leave immediately since it's a half-hour drive and told me to call him if the destination was different. The pharmacist told me they would take it out to the car if DH called when he got there and wanted that (he felt fine, always masks anyway). Modern technology worked really well here! If I lived alone I would have had to leave the house and drag myself out and get it from the parking lot, or get a friend to help (available, no worries there).How utterly miserable. Glad the antiviral is helping. Did you have to go into a doctors office to get it? I have never understood the guidance ‘don’t leave the house’ vs ‘get medication as soon as possible’.
Get well soon!
Yes, this is really nice!
It sounds as if they haven't shipped it, if the carrier is still waiting to receive the parcel from them. It may be they are waiting on a delivery from their own supplier!Princess is with us a lot of the time but she's honestly a compost machine and I can't cope in here without that nappy I've been waiting for for the past 11 days.
The people that sold me this said, yes they had a medium size so I immediately paid them on receiving that message they then messaged me back, saying sorry we don't respond on weekends that was the last message I received until yesterday.
4 days later I got a message saying the delivery company was waiting to receive the parcel off them then the same again on the 8th day.
Yesterday it was to arrive, then another message it was coming today and still it isn't here.
I wish ebay would ban these lazy good for nothing let down sellers
Could be lots of things. I hope you get an answer soon!
I can even make my own wine. I call it “Alexander the Grape!”
@Marie2020 Yes, me too, those surgical procedural masks, they say you hook the loops over the wings. It holds the poop close though, feathers get a bit pooey. But in a pinch I'd do that. Or the next idea below
This guy uses ladies' underwear as the outer "holder" and a dust mask lined with a cloth bit inside. I'm picturing the round cup dust masks:
"Mine really didn't take to them at all! I had better success using a small pair of ladies underwear and a dust mask. The idea is the wings go through the leg holes, you gather up the excess over the back and fasten with a safety pin or similar and use the dust mask in the back to catch the poop. I used toddler underwear for the bantams. https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/what-did-you-do-with-your-flock-today.1371402/post-27059468
"Yes, the dust mask goes inside. I usually put a peice of kitchen towel or washable cloth in the dust mask as a liner. It has one big advantage over conventional chicken diapers as, because the poop is held away from the body, there's no poopy feathers to clean off. I'll see if I can find the article I got it from." https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/what-did-you-do-with-your-flock-today.1371402/post-27062019

Yes, those maps don't correspond to Bald Eagles in North America. They do correspond to what I know about Golden Eagles here, though they are nesting a bit further south than indicated here
I just had a great one!If anyone is passing out naps, yah I’ll take one too!
