We are going to my Great Grandmothers memorial service tomorrow... I painted my long thick nails that I inherited from her in her honor... pink, just the color she would have picked (actually it is called Huston We Have A Purple... but it is pink) (Silver you would be proud) I still have to pick out my sons outfit, but he looks cute and dapper in anything!
Nugget is back in the garage. He is not balancing very well (if at all) with his wry neck. So i hold him up so he can eat and drink, I give him his vitamins... Poor guy... My mom said to put him out of his misery...
I have not given up hope yet. I am hoping it is like bells palsy... stress induced. I have removed him from all the other chickens and gave him a special chicken neck massage. He has trouble reaching a spot on his chest to clean his feathers so I helped him with that... he really enjoyed that. However, it looks like his oil gland is in need of some attention. I am sure he can't reach it, so his bum is pretty oily. I might have a house chicken yet. A "special" one...
Everyone else is doing really good
My silkie and SGs feet are always a mess.
Some days more so than others!
That is so scary!! I hope the doctors figure it out!
That sucks cutting hours... you gotta do what you gotta do...
I live real close to Novi
Hmmm... I think I need some quail... What do you think?
Is it legal to have cane toads? I ain't licking a toad for nothing! Glad you saved him though!

Ummm... get use to it.So, I need help (again) please.
Can someone please help me figure out a way (unless you already know a way then that would be most helpful) to keep my 10-day old chicks clean from the belly down? I have two that have fursies on their footsies and even though I clean the poo out of the brooder at least 8x a day (probably more than that) they still find a way to step in their broodermates poopies. Somehow it gets on their feetfeathers and crusts up - GROSS. So, I've been washing it off with warm water on a daily basis to keep their legs poop-free.


You are preaching to the choir...I want pullets! I need girls!

OOOhhh on another happy note I am all but thru enrolling for my Doctorate program !!!!! I cant wait to start back in december ...

Hi all..
been a real rough few days here- I am exhausted but I really needed to talk to Robin- and tada, here she is!
My daughter has been seizing really bad, and had an allergic reaction to the med they gave me to give her by injection and couldnt breathe. It was horrible scary, and then she seized again on Sunday and again this evening.. it is wearing me out.
At work I got the email to cut everyones hours and drop a day for everyone. And I did it- for everyone but myself. Made me feel like a real jerk. I took a cut earlier in the summer and went from forty hours to 24-32 and I just cannot effectively supervise two departments on any less. But I feel really badly doing it to people.
took my daughter to the audiologist on Friday. My van wont make it to Novi.
The quail are supposed to hatch in two days. I have no idea where I am going to put them.
A cane toad.
Someone must have bought it so they could lick it but didnt want to take care of it .
