Where did you find a salon that cuts and trims chooks nails?

I hope your weather improves soon, it’s a roller coaster here, right now it’s mild going to +8 today, then by Saturday morning -17c then by mid week next week +11C (that is 52F).

But no snow called for, last night it poured rain!!! Crazy! It’s February!

And I am loving it and so are the chooks, they were outside for about an hr last night when I got home from work.

Princess isn't at all happy, she couldn't get on her perch after I'd washed her very dirty feet. She went into the run, the part I can't reach with a shovel or a brush and it's soaking wet
So I've shut her inside her coop for an hour to dry off. I'll get her back onto her perch later in the run. I thought it's best she warms up a little with the hot water bottle in the coop.

She went into the front garden for half an hour this morning and ate some grass.

It's 6c here but feels cold with the bit of wind and rain

Here she is at 11am

Oh, tax...
Bokalina is molting.

What a terrible time of year to molt. Poor baby.

We think she ate something.
I'm not sure

How very sad.

Salon Pour Poules​

We get it both ways. There's a smaller Amazon warehouse an hour away. On a rare occasion, we get an Amazon van in our driveway, but most often it's the USPS delivering their stuff. I suppose because we're out in the boonies has something to do with it.

We are going to need tax from everyone discussing how packages are delivered.

We have an old white silkie rooster whose spurs grow inward, so when they grow out, they'll start hitting the inside of his legs. When he starts running bull-legged, we know it's time.

We get him at night in the coop, bring him in, and hubby trims first with the dykes or side cutters, then uses a metal file to get off the rough edges. It's only about every six months or so. He has a dremel he's thinking of trying next time.

Poor fellow. It's good of you to help him out.

Yes I have similar - but it causes chaos for me. USPS doesn't deliver to my street address (I have a PO Box). But Amazon and UPS do. Except when they are delivering for USPS when they don't. Except when they do.
To make it worse my street address and my PO Box are in different ZIP codes. So when USPS does the last mile and realize they cannot deliver to the street address they leave it at the wrong Post Office. Sometimes I have to race between the two Post Offices to intercept the parcel before it gets totally lost.

Deliver chaos tax. It was cold but sunny yesterday and the Princesses enjoyed being out and about.

Thank you for the proper tax payment without being asked.
