I think I figured out how to keep my little roo quiet. I put him in a dark box for 2 nights when I went to bed and woke up early to let him out, now he stays out all the time and only crows near 7am and a few times before bedtime!!! I finally got a new weedeater and got the yard spiffed up, so today I must finish building new coops(maybe we should say start building) happy Sunday everyone

Well, it's been a fun day. I didn't mention it this morning, but on the way back from feeding, I bent over to pick up something on the ground, and got head-butted by a 170 pound mastiff puppy. Took a hard tumble, and knew I'd damaged something in my foot. I thought it was just the toe (although nowadays "just" isn't a part of my damage vocabulary!), but I had to go to the ER to make sure the foot bones weren't broken. So now I have the leg brace on the left, and a board-shoe on the right for a broken toe. (Seems so silly. I used to not bother going in for something that small!) I'll have to have both Jake and one of my forearm crutchs for a few days. They said 6-8 weeks, but even though that's the healing time for a bone I'm expecting to at least be able to move around with just Jake after I get used to the shoe and the swelling goes down a bit. He and I have gotten pretty good at working together and I love not needing the crutches. (At least I didn't fall out of a tree while catching raccoons...not that I'd mention names......)

Reilly tried to make amends by giving me lots of kisses while I was on the ground, and even tried to bring me water, by getting a large drink himself and then giving me more kisses. Gotta love a mastiff.

I had stupidly 1.) not taken my phone, and 2.) left the other dogs inside. So Reilly had only me to play with and I couldn't wake up hubby when I fell. Took me about 20 minutes to get to the porch steps and use them to get up. I think I found every dang acorn between where I fell and the house, and it was only about ten yards. When I finally got up and to the door, Jake was waiting there all worried. I guess he had heard me fall and knew something was wrong, and he couldn't get to me.

So, half the day in the ER, then lots of errands on the way home, since we were lready aout. We had lunch out, which was nice. This is how hubby and I get "date time" these days!

I hope everyone else had a great day, particularly Sick Child!

Hey now, its not my fault the tree had it in for me Sorry about your fall, and I hope you are feeling better. My aunt has to use forearm crutches, so I know how unfun that is. Sending prayers for a quick recovery your way

I hope you are healing well, too.

I thought of you as I was working on getting up, knowing that your damage was far more extensive. How are you healing? As for me, a few mild painkillers and the hard shoe will do me. I did some errands today with just Jake and didn't need a stick, and the shoe allows me to drive without adding pain, so all is well.

Sooo went to the WCA to "look" and hang out with Alex. Came home with 7 more young Muscovy ducks

Box labeled and called out as "grey ducks" are actually LAVENDER Muscovy

Should have bought the other boxes of "grey ducks"

Also another box of "white Muscovy" 3 white & 1 Silver.

Super cute and fit right in. Now to determine hens and drakes.
