Between the horses and chooks ….

This picture reminds me of straw day...a couple years ago. We don't always get snow like that here.

It isn’t true.

Correct. It is misleading.

So, Phyllis Fong wasn't removed or fired?

She was removed due to political reasons I won't get in to due to Bob's no politics rule.

Heavy load (pun)

Once the horses are gone it will be chickens only. Small 4lb chickens

I'm 80 & can't even pickup a 2-lb Silkie yet! Therapy started today to go on for 4 weeks just for the fingers/wrist/elbow. Thursday is evaluation for full arm/shoulder rotation therapy.

I want to do something special for my chooks. They all have been so good to me lately. I just don’t know what I can do
They get veggies and meats for treats. They get the best feed I can give. I try to give them each all the love I can. I’m building a separate house for Mr Wyandottey, because he’s way too pushy with the Rockettes (the older ladies) and they choose not to let him do his rooster business.

Yeah, arthritic old ladies aren't interested in the Dating Game

You've been a long time with the broken arm. Rebuilding the muscle and flexibility will take time. Don't push picking up your sweeties. The last thing you want is dropping one of them or re-injuring yourself. Getting to the point where you can stroke them when they've hopped into your lap is huge too! Can your DH make a series of steps or a ramp next to your outdoor chair? Maybe stack some of those paving stones? That way the ladies can come to you?

That’s an awesome photo!

Hope everyone is having a lovely Monday.
I took a tumble on the ice. Nothing injured but my pride. Guys came to deal with some dead branches and they turned their big truck into a sled.
It is nasty out there with more on the way.
I showed my ladies the pictures of @Ponypoor’s eggs by way of encouragement.
At first I thought Pooh was interested. Then I realized I was holding a dinner roll in my hand and that was what had her attention. She looks completely different after her molt. Really lovely dark waistcoat/vest.
Here is her mugshot. Both she and Piglet - rushing over to get some dinner roll - are pink in the face but showing no interest in nest boxes.
Ever the optimist I am ordering 20% layer feed for when I run out of feed next week.

You will get there Do your exercises, take your pain meds, but don’t over-do it

So, Phyllis Fong wasn't removed or fired?

Fired and removed from the office. Not arrested.
Not exactly a surprise as inspectors general of about a dozen agencies were also fired, and she in particular had angered Musk because her office is investigating his company (Neuralink) for Animal welfare violations.
She was a George W. Bush appointee.

Tax: Here is Sylvie getting in on the dinner roll action.
