Granny's gone and done it again

Ma's giving Sophie a bath...Sophie doesn't like baths one little bit. Water to her is for drinking.

Sophie's back. She's all wrapped up in a towel with just her head sticking out. She is so cute when you say something to her and she makes a small talk back at you. Wish we had a chicken language translator.

This afternoon I installed some solar lights for the coop.
It will be the first time we use lights on the chickens over winter, I would not normally do it.
But I missed the spring hatches due to rooster issues, the summer had two hatches, followed by a lot of broodies, molting, etc.
Now that we're finally getting fertile eggs, the older generation of hens are starting to go out of lay and I'm just not having it. You guys got your vacation this summer, lol.
I may have started the lighting protocol too late in the year, but I figure it should at least reduce the down time.
These lights have a timer so I've got it on for 2 hours in the evening, and at the dimmest setting in the warm light color. Everyone settled down to sleep easily enough so I think that's a good sign.
It also has a distant solar panel with a long cord so I was able to set that up out in the sunshine while the lights are inside the coop.
Give me hatching eggs!!!

Reminded me of Larry. hahaa
An elderly farmer went into town to catch a movie. At the ticket booth, the attendant noticed something on his shoulder and asked, "Sir, what's that on your shoulder?"
The farmer replied proudly, "That's my pet rooster, Chuckie. He goes everywhere with me."
"I'm sorry, Sir," said the attendant, "We can't allow animals in the theater, not even a pet chicken."
Undeterred, the farmer walked around the corner, discreetly tucked Chuckie into his pants, and returned to buy his ticket. He found a seat between two elderly ladies named Mildred and Marge.
As the movie started, Chuckie began to stir. The farmer unzipped his pants so the rooster could peek out and enjoy the film.
"Marge," whispered Mildred.
"What is it?" asked Marge.
"I think the man next to me is behaving strangely," Mildred whispered back.
"Why do you say that?" Marge inquired.
"He unzipped his pants," Mildred replied, "and he seems to have something out."
Marge chuckled softly, "Oh, at our age, we've seen it all."
"Yes," Mildred sighed, "but this one is eating my popcorn!"

Ouch, Granny. Ever figure out what causes those?

Probably not drinking water.

Mornings all, I didn't get to sleep til 5am. These long naps are screwing me up. I hope I get some good news Monday from Drs. office but I was reading about him last night the reviews only talked about the shoulder work he has done. Not one mention of the spine. He got good reviews however
