I am taking Allegra, nasal spray, benadryl, and mucinex. It helps but its not a cure.

silly question BUT don't all of those things have a "side effect" of drowsieness???
 
Mid morning Grannyland, once again a late riser. For some odd reason my body is needing extra sleep right now. Have been averaging 9 hr a night all week. This is crazy from a person who is used to getting 4 or 5 a night. Thinking new medication is causing it. Well whatever, sleep is good for the body, I'LL take it lol. Here's what happens when you try to take eggs out from under a non- broody hen. She squawks & screams at everyone until she lays her egg. This seems to take hours to accomplish. As soon as she lays she jumps down out of the nest like its no big deal. I've been removing eggs a number of times a day because I've got an egg eater somewhere in the flock. I made the mistake of trying to reach under her on Wednesday. She managed to peck me about 12 times before I got a hold of her head. Once I got her head I switched hands to holding her head down with my left hand. As I reach under her with my right hand she went for my left wrist. She grabbed on with her beak & wouldn't let go. She finally let go when she realized she couldn't breath. She's really lucky that I wasn't in a pizzy mood or the lack of oxygen might have been permanent lol.
