Dowie,
Shhhhhhh, don't give away how I " make abused animals disappear"...LOL
Seriously , thank you for your concern regarding taking care of myself while getting an " emergency coop " operational for , in your words , " Operation Chicken Rescue "..
I'm doing Ok..this " Disease " or whatever the VA Now wants to call it, tends to Really Hurt during the winter, so all I can do during painful episodes when I have trouble walking and my hands have trouble gripping things, I just grab my crutches and I'm back to work!
I've discovered coop building which I enjoy Very much.
I'm self taught and only use Pictures as my plans so I can tweak it here and there.
So, what I'm starting on, is a small coop , 4x4 or so , and use it as a " Quarantine "
coop.
It shouldn't take me long, probably my mid day tomorrow.
Problem now, is I won't see him until Monday, unless I " snoop " around before then.lol.
We will just have to see.
