Good morning folks

I finally managed to get the lawn mowed but there is way
too much weed-whacking to be done........that will be at
least a 2 day project. There are so many things I want to
get done but the regular every day chores don't leave much
time to do other projects. At least I have things to keep me
busy and never bored.

Anyone know a home remedy for restless leg syndrome?

Hope everyone has a good day

I wish I knew of a natural home remedy.....I have soaked in an epson salt bath (as hot as possible ...LOL...until it starts cooling off). I'm also usually this time to try to relax too! However, I never found anything except requip (comes in generic) to work for me. And if I don't take it by 8:30pm....I won't be sleeping much....some bad stuff!!!

BTW....all chooks are alive and doing well this morning! I boarded up the big door of the coop in progress and I must give my DH credit...he helped herding them to a place where I could catch them one at a time.... I put them in the new coop and boarded up the pop door. Saw one place where a dog or whatever had made a half-hearted attempt but that's all. The roos are so funny....been watching them and although the back part of the coop run is totally open, everything the roos know is on the front side. I left thru the back side. Those silly roos are pacing up and down along the front fence line and can't figure out how to get on the other side of the front fence.!!!

I will have to go herd them around the backside of the coop so they will be able to get to the water/food that I have hung for them.

Glad to hear they made it and are doing well.

Glad to hear they made it and are doing well.

I went out and put a water bucket and some feed in the front area of the run. If they find a way out that's fine but I decided that maybe its better to let them stay in place if they will.

Glad you got your coop done and the birds are enjoying their new home.
Hope they stay safe.

@jtbass2756 I'm so sorry for your loss! I wish I was closer so I could help you, I love to build!

@DSTchickencraze I LOVE freedom rangers. Only birds I'll use. They take longer than the CX, but much shorter than a dual purpose and they're more like "real" chickens. They fly, they free range, they are slower to grow.
Right now I have the black freedom rangers, they're 11 weeks old getting processed at the end of the week. Here's one of my roo's I posted last week



This is an older pic from my batch of freedom rangers last fall:

I thought this was a RIR as a chick, but now that's it feathering out it's like orange-ish and the white on it is throwing me? It was yellow as chick. Single comb, yellow legs, like a month old now. Thoughts?






As always, thank you all for the help!!!

Someone had suggested a Buff Orpington to me, which this doesn't say Orp in my mind, but it's hatchery stock so there could be coloring issues?
Only other thing I could think of would be a New Hampshire, but the coloring doesn't seem quite right to me on that either?

Dutch...I would guess red sex link.

Dutch...I would guess red sex link.

Okay thanks

Even with the black?
I was thinking rooster, but if it's a sex link it's gotta be a girl.
It's from the hatchery so I know sometimes their coloring can be off.
I appreciate the feedback
