NY chicken lover!!!!

Kicking myself in the *** for going back out and shoveling even more this afternoon. The ducks needed a path shoveled to their pond. I needed to get to the rabbits. That's OK tho. All this pain is worth the excitement to see these guys:

. By the time I got up to the rabbits I took one more shovel of snow and twisted my back! :-( now I need to walk around with it arched back because I can't even bend over to sit down on the couch to lay down. So this sucks. Can't get up to the rabbits to finish shoveling them out, gonna have to ask DH to do it when he gets home from work and then feed and water them for me. That'll be my Valentines Day gift. Lol

Ouch Lynzi ! That is tough ...
if it is a pulled muscle you need to stretch it ...out... bend that back ...so it doesnt tighten up ..
Maybe a nice warm shower to loosen it up some ...
A body needs balance ...I try to do set ups & leg lifts every day ..Strong tummy muscles = strong back .
I am the only one in the house who does not have a hurt back ..
I do most of the shoveling ...

I try to tell myself it is good Exercise ! Im getting too much today .
This is why my chickens go out in the snow to my deck ..
The joy of a Dust Bath ...turn up the volume you can hear little clucks of Joy

Just saw the Toyota commercial! Lol That IS funny!

DH brought home some heat patches for my back, I think it's scorching the skin off my back rather than healing the pain IN my back! Ugh!

Hiya all...we currently have only nine chickens...we have hatched many thu the years both naturally and w/incubator. We have also raised ducks and hatched ducklings(naturally only).We have started a craze in our neighborhood..lol..we love to help out the pre-schools in our area to hatch chicks w/the children..earning me the nick-name the chicken lady.is great to find fellow N.Y.ers w/the same interests.

Welcome To the Thread ! 9 chickens sounds like a nice start !

Do you have a moist heating pad ?
or you can microwave a wet towel ... to lay on...be careful ...not very long ..
How about a nice soaking bath ?
