Looks like I am first up.
Morning ya'll.

I went ahead and made biscuits and gravy. Sausage is on the side in case any of our non meat folks want some biscuits.
Oatmeal with apple sauce is in the pot on the stove. Mugs are in the cabinet above the fresh coffee and milk is in the fridge.


Oh man Rae, that is awful. I am so sorry your tiny MD isn't feeling well. :hugs You get some rest whenever you can. Sending healing vibes your way.


Sassy you just go ahead and send those mean little Cochin my way. I'll look after them.
:D
Actually my black one had been my head hen for years. I often wondered if I would find her antics tolerable if she was large. My silver laced bantams and all my large ones are very nice though.
:confused:
That was interesting about the oats and birds. No more mixing in the extras for them.

Sam, that fire being that close would be a :barnie moment for me too. I trust you and yours are all safe. :hugs
We get a lot of fires here too but none that close.


The furnace guy that hubby had come by said he can fix our issues. He showed hubby in an online installation manual where the original guys messed up the install. I am glad he had documentation to back up what he was saying. It made me more confident in him.

Ok, forgot what i was going to ask lol! One of my two derp hens is gaining a serious weight advantage, like a pound and a half lol! The thing is, its like she's never full. I have to stop her foraging to put her in the coop. She's like one of those kids that might eat themselves to death. I don't know what to do with her. She doesn't have anything wrong with her at all. So what do i do? Do i just start building a little cart now? I know it isn't good for them to be fat but i don't know how to put a bottomless chicken on a diet.:confused:

Good morning @21hens-incharge , thanks for breakfast!:drool


@TexasSam , I hope your family stays safe! :fl:hugsfire is the scariest thing. I understand your wife freaking out!
It's pouring here this morning. I wish I could send it your way.
@Redhead Rae :barnie
So sorry MD has another bug.
Dang. :hugs
He's going to have an incredible immune system by the time he's an adult with all the antibodies he's collecting.

Besides the green, rainy and Mediterranean climate in Puget Sound, we have 2 mountain ranges we can see, and one volcano in view. Some areas have lahar (volcanic mudflow due to eruptions that could melt glaciers and send floods down some of our rivers) evacuation routes, and east of the volcanoes, yes, we have several, have to worry about ash. Washington state actually had 9 different climate regions, ranging from dessert to rainforest. The state, as a whole, has temperatures that can range from single digits, and occasional below zero, in the winter to in the 110 to 120 range during the summer. The east side gets the extremes, the West side ranges from occasional teens in the winter, to occasional 100s in August. The normal range of difference for my area, Greater Puget Sound, is about 60 to 60 degrees. Contrary to popular belief, we don't have rain all the time, winger is the rainy season, but it's fairly rare to have continuous rain. Yes, we will have weeks where it rains every day, but not continuous rain. You should check out our state online, it really is gorgeous, and I wouldn't trade it for the world. I've lived in the Midwest, from Michigan down to Texas, Germany and Hawaii before moving here, and this, by far has been the best place or of all of them. I refuse to move, did to much of that for the first 26 years of my life, and we've lived here for over 22 years now.

It really is gorgeous in that area. Ive never been as far north as Puget Sound but did spend a week in the Portland area last spring. Specifically Newport and Depoe Bay. I can see why so many people visit that coast and end up moving there permanently.

Hello, and good night everyone!

I had a long day. Started by dropping our van off at the mechanic, going to the chiropractor and taking the outdoor kitty that adopted us to the vet for a checkup. I got there about 30-40 min early, but had to wait until 30 min after my appointment to be seen. The vet does surgery in the mornings and one took longer than she expected. The kitty (Sylvie, because she is silver) is a tiny little thing and I thought she was less than a year old. Turns out she is more like 5-6 years old, according to her teeth. She also has ear mites and isn't spayed. So we got revolution on board and I have an appointment to get her spayed next month. Hopefully she isn't already preggers or gets preggers between now and then. The vet is booked up for the next few weeks.

It seems like we have another illness running through the house. Yay. This time it comes with fatigue and diarrhea (why the Milk Drinker had poo up his back yesterday). The MD didn't want to go to sleep tonight. He took a 3 hour nap. I was able to take an almost 2 hour nap while he did.

I didn't get the coop pressure washed, but I had enough on my plate today.


All your chickens are less than a year old right? Youngesters, especially if they have no older birds keeping them in line can get really rowdy. I found that once my first batch of birds reached a year, they mellowed out a good bit. Once I got babies, they taught them the ropes and kept them in line.

Sorry about the MD
