Just checkin in. Another rainy day here in good ole Upstate NY! Which means more mud, I hate the mud. Ive been fighting it for the past week. My run was a mess. I finally got it taken care of. Ive got one of my little cochins in a crate in the coop, she's been there for a week. The others are plucking her bald! I let her out to range when I can watch. I think the plucking was happening mostly at roost time or first thing in the morning before they are let out. I feel so sorry for poor Lucy, she looks so sad. Well, have a grand day everyone!

When my step daughter was 15, she ran away with her boyfriend for all of 7 hours.

We got a knock at the door at 2 am, and my Sweetie throws on his plaid bathrobe, half asleep, and answers the door.

Nice policeman is kindly delivering very drunk and high step daughter, who is singing, and hooting it up, but apologizing too.

My Sweetie thanks the police again, so grateful that we have daughter back. Then he looks down..... He'd thrown on a plaid *shirt*, not his bathrobe, and he's completely naked from the waist down, on the doorstep, with the cops and his daughter. Ooops!

What is it w/ chicken picking lately? Since It's been getting cold I've been nice and giving my girls some mash & oatmeal made w/ hot water (warm by the time they get it)... yesterday I realized they weren't letting Damon have any. Then ever time I tried to give her some she'd get scared and run away. So today I let them out first, hoping Damon would stay behind and eat first, no such luck.. So they come back in and Damon keeps getting pecked & my little bantam is left out too. So I scoop some out and put it in a nesting box away from the group. The bantam eats some & I try to put Damon by it, but she's apparently afraid of the bantam too. The bantam finishes and I toss Damon up and she finally gets to actually eat some instead of trying to quickly grab bites before getting pecked. Then I realized that during the warm weather when we'd let them range she's usually the first one out and always trying to escape... b/c they're all mean to her. I get that someone needs to be the lowest on the totem pole, but it's super unnecessary for them to be that mean. Like I scooped some food out for her and set it on the step for the bantam to reach the feeder & the others ran for it so I tried to point the now vacant food dish out to Damon and they went back to that. I'm going to work on hand feeding her so she'll come to me and get treats rather than fighting the others for some.

I've been wondering where she is -- she's been online but not here?

Hi guys! Thank you for thinking about me! I'm still here. :)

My job has been really stressful and demanding and has been kinda sucking the life juices outta me the past couple weeks...I've been upset a lot and quiet cuz I don't want to be a negative beeyatch! Just been escaping in books and TV.

So far, I have gotten about 6 or 7 perfect, tiny cream-colored little peewee eggs from my mystery chicken. What is that, about $175 bucks an egg? Very expensive eggs I have, lol! My bright red, plump-combed bantam cochin never did poop me out an egg. I think the oldest chickens are 29 or 30 weeks now. :p

I have a lot of catching up on here! I miss you guys.

When the job starts sucking my life juices, that's when I start job hunting while *at* work, and wiping my computer history and cookies every day when I clock out .

Hang in there!
 
I'm not going to lie, i did forget stuff but it's hubs fault! He went in the store with me instead of staying in the car and returning phone calls like he was supposed to.:he

Every time I "stock up" I still end up spending a small fortune at the store the next week to get everything I forgot I needed, or the stuff I need to make the stuff I bought actually food.

Hahaha, that's a brilliant idea, and evil, I love it! Unfortunately I can't do that, it's so busy where I'm at that I barely get time to pee...
