NY chicken lover!!!!

Ouch ! Did she have to have surgery on it ?
The only thing that is worse than a broken ankle is ...having them have to put plates & screws in it to fix it ..
Hurts a lot more ! Glad you are helping her out .
Your chickens will be just fine as long as they are fed ...LOL

April 2007 after cast was taken off ..this side had a plate ...I hated it ...I could feel it poking me ...they took out the plate & the screws & the screws on the other side .
about a year later .. this is the foot that gets frost bit easily
No surgery. But I just found out an hour ago that after she gets done with dialysis that they are taking her to the hospital. They think that she might have a blood clot in her leg. I'm an just praying that she will be fine and out soon. The last time she went in was for a cellulitis flair up in the same leg and she was in the hospital for 4 weeks before they sent her home with IV antibiotics. She is diabetic and it complicates things a lot

A little vasoline, only a thin coat like as much as you would put of Chapstick on your lips can help avoid frostbite. I have a picture in my head of you chasing chickens around the yard with a container of vasoline clutched in one hand , and it's amusing me in a strange way...

I tried the vasoline thing and it didn't work. I smeared it on there good too. Perhaps you gotta do it every night?
 

This video is for Rancher, Jlaw, Stony, County and all the other chicken men out there!


I was talking to my mother this morning and she told me an aquaintance of hers was out hunting with her dh and they shot a mountain lion. They tagged it and called the dec, who promptly said there are no mountain lions in NYS. They told them they had just killed one and put a tag on it. Guess the dec officer booked on over to confirm. Apparently another one has been sighted behind the same couples house. They live out near Malone in a fairly secluded swampy area. I do believe that these big cats could quite easily inhabit nys as there are enough desolate areas for them to survive in.

Got two inches of snow. Got yelled at by the terrorists for the evil white stuff in their run. I opened the door to their coop to let some air in and a couple barred rocks have ventured out. Bill is busy calling them back in. Filled feeders. Made cookies and bread. A good day off!

That is a shame. I'm not sure they've come back that much that they should be hunted. I could be wrong though. Nor do I see a reason unless they intend to eat it.

And the video is just sick.

Before I was born, my mother had horses come back to the barn spooked a few times and one of them had cat claw marks on her. Rural upstate NY where I grew up is sparsely populated and hunting and trapping put meat on the table and a few dollars in the pocket for pelts. Nothing goes to waste because nobody can afford to waste anything. We ate more game meat than commercial growing up. Just how it was. Still is in some parts.
 
Speaking of pelts, there's one lying in the side of my road about a hundred feet from where the deer was a couple of weeks ago....can't even tell what kind of animal it's from but it's definitely got a thick coat. A fox maybe? No body, no bones, just skin and fur...so weird
