@RebeccaBoyd :best wishes with your surgery. PLEASE, PLEASE do not push it. IT is bad of your boss to be pushing you (though I understand why) - do not cave and go to work until you are physically in an okay place for that. One wrong twist or stumble and you could do a whole lot of damage. I KNOW you well enough to know you will be going a bit stir crazy BEFORE you are physically ready to go back - even 'just for running the register.' Next thing you know - oh, can you just refill my coffee - oh, Can you just get me a muffin.....yadda, yadda, yadda.

Stay home and snuggle with your chickens, watch the babies and the mommas....get a chaise lounge chair that you can put right outside the silkie pen, and have it adjusted right for reclining.....and watch the adorable and entertaining 'Silkie Chicken TV'

We love you and want you to HEAL properly and completely.❤️:hugs❤️:hugs❤️:hugs❤️

Trust me, I know how hard it is to follow my own advise....just ask Hubby when I had surgery......
Preach!!! Healing is going to be your new, temporary job. Then you can switch back to your old job.

Heal first, and heal completely!
 
Oh Lord help us all.
I have released the Kraken!
And I did not expect that the first peck to land was Chippy jumping up to peck Pooh’s comb! Poor Pooh she was taken aback to say the least.

She's just letting her know, who's really in charge...🤣

I was so terrified the Aunties would attack that I was hovering ready to save the situation, so I was completely unprepared for:
- Pooh wanting to join in with them and getting pecked for her pains
- Calypso taking one look at them and running away
- Sylvie (broody) coming by and shouting at Tassels before stomping back to her nest
- Piglet (broody) looking out of the nest once and then not surfacing again
And all the while Tassels just kept on talking and talking and the chicks kept zooming around!
 
Some two for Tuesday pics

Love it!

Oh how I miss having chicks around….

I know! I need Guinea Fowl! That’s what I need!
 
I had one like the top one. I didn’t love it because I couldn’t hang it. And yes they spilled a lot.
Somehow I can’t find it so these current chicks got food in a mini crock pot I got on eBay. It is heavy so doesn’t tip over. Only disadvantage is that Chippy is dust bathing in it. Tassels keeps scooping her out so everyone can eat!
You can see the two little pots in this picture.

Remember how I used electrical tape and baling twine to fashion a handle on the waterers I have? I also have those top feeders and sis the same thing to hang it so they couldn’t knock it over.
