Granny's gone and done it again

[CapricornFarm]

I went out and got inside the coop. Started scraping off old chicken poo and decided how to fix up the coop. I started ripping out the nest boxes, did a lot more eww..scraping poop off the floor. The nest boxes were inside, taking up space in a small coop. Likewise, the tier of 3 perches takes too much space and they probably only use the top two. So it will come out. I got about half of the inside walls painted white, which makes a huge difference. It was previously unpainted, though a few boards were stained dark brown. It is dark in there!
Anyone interested in the coop rehab can follow it in my building thread, " Helpful Hints for Building Coops "

Sorry I've not really been chatty. It's been a bad weekend here. I'm a hot mess. My moms dog attacked the momma cat and broke her leg, my frazzle chick got scalped yesterday, and my silkie roo Crunchy I found him dead under a pile of broodies this morning. I have been bawling almost nonstop for 3 days. There are so many other things going on and I just cant get a handle on it all.

Sorry for your losses Alley. I know Crunchy was dear to you and you had him for a while. Was it one of those little dogs ? I actually do know how you feel . I still cry for my flock.

That all sounds awful.

Bruce, I looked at plants yesterday. I was tickled to see them. The only moss they had was a moss ball and it looks so ugly. The plants didnt have hardy guides on them and were $10. & up.

The plants I have are cheap, don't recall what they are but they just keep growing and growing. Every other time I clean the aquarium (which isn't often enough) I end up taking out about half the plants. I've been using the same gravel and rocks I bought at an aquarium store when I was in college. Yeah that was a LONG time ago. And my filter doesn't have throw away "cartridges". Just filter pads that can be washed.

I am going to eat my chimichunga then head to bed.

And you wonder why you can't sleep??

replaced one of the fawcett's as well.

Farrah?

DANG! Pro beat me to it.

I have been doing a ton of reading on tanks and getting them cycled. There is a fast way to do it and I have done that. It takes having an old tank which I could provide.
This evening I added the 5 white cloud minnows which are the hardiest of all and extremely tiny and added them to the new tank. We shall see.
On a different note I have lost the snail and an angel and one more sick. The snail was dead before it hit bottom and I honestly thought I had threw the angel away but finally found it trapped under a decoration. The sick one either has ich or cotton and I have treated for ich.
