It's been snowing here for about 45 minutes now. Small flakes but there's a ton of them. Last I saw them who said we were supposed to be getting in about an inch an hour and I'm in the 6 to 9 inch or 9 to 12 inch range depending on which station or map you look at.
I ran over to check on the chickens this morning and Toothless was in the nesting box. I didn't want to mess with her I went ahead and took care of everything and then stood outside waiting for her to get off the nest. Eventually I gave up and went through down some bread chunks and scratch when of course she immediately jumped to the floor. I go over and she had already laid her eggs she was just sitting on them! I stood out there for 10 minutes freezing my butt off for nothing.
And last night when I went to put up some cardboard over the south-facing vents Ash my Seabright was sleeping on the wall about 5 feet up on the ledge thought-forms the perimeter of the wall. I have no idea why but I moved over to the roost by Loki. I guess she's been sleeping there off and on for a while because there was Tiny Chicken poops up there. They wonder why chicken people are crazy it's because chickens do the weirdest things.

We're all dealing with the same storm system, it is huge.
 
Good morning, Squatchers! :caf

I have been a little absent, but I'm back. Been working hard at my new job (and loving it! Yay!) and taking a little quiet time...yesterday was the first anniversary of my mom's death, and I've just been mourning her and haven't had a lot to say.

I'm glad that day is over. I cried and lit a bunch of candles, and did a few shots of Fireball in her memory. I think the anticipation of dealing with that day was worse than the actual day. I know it gets easier with time, I've had a lot of deaths, unfortunately.

Anyway, on to happier stuff. Suzi healed up really well with her broken beak and bloodied self. After a few days of ICU and TLC she went back in the coop, and she is fine. Her beak is growing back slowly, and she looks funny but she is eating well and is totally back to her normal self. :D

No more predator attacks. Hubby has been beefing up the security even more ever since, as my coops/runs situation wasn't quite the Fort Knox I thought it was.

I miss my sweet Willow and my big green egg layer Maya. I've been giving the other birds lots of love and extra treats. I think Deila misses her twin sister Willow:hit.

Tomorrow is supposed to be 51, then drop down to 6!!! Is that crazy or what?! I'm thinking I should put my Seramas, Serama mixes, and Flower in the garage. Suzi, what are you doing with your tiny birds? I'm sure your weather has to be freaking cold.

It's good to be back! Love you guys! :love

Actually, the problem was caused by a pinched nerve in my neck. And it is doing better thanks. :hugs
Now my IBS is torturing me and my stomach has been hurting. Just falling apart.
Going to see the neck dr. Tuesday.

So glad they finally figured it out. Sucks about the IBS though. If it's not one thing it's another. Here in Ohio they just started the medicinal marijuana stuff and IBS is one of the things you can guess it for.
