I only made the appointment after every home remedy had failed. Even some of they very bazaar ones. I know I'll probably come in contact with it again too while I do more clean up. That's what the shot was for. The topical is here nor there.
When I called for and they asked why I wanted to come in I said poison something rash. She laughed. The wind can blow my direction and I get it. I consider this round lucky. I don't have it on my face.
 
My first girls were brown leg horns. "About 2" years old. They are how I got my name. I still have 1 of them. She must be going on 7. Still a red comb and an egg every so often. Shes not as friendly with me as some of the other girls but will eat out of my hand. She prefers I don't touch her. LOL She does walk around muttering to herself like the matriarch she is. I've never seen another girl peck her. (She currently is down to one tail feather and a very sparse body covering. But we don't talk about that!)

In storm news I had 2 trees come down.
View attachment 1913549 View attachment 1913551 Well almost down. Luckily I have the nicest friends. A 40 min drive to my place with tree gear and they were cut up!View attachment 1913552 View attachment 1913553
Worried about the others that were still there and too close to the power lines for comfort I called the power company. They have a forestry crew that keeps an eye on trees near lines. But I had no idea when they were there last, when some trees were topped, other had died...it was a mess.

I get a call only 2 days later and it's a man who says he's in my yard. I apologize I'm not home and he responds "I know the girls told me." Guy was visiting with my chickens! :gigSo I explain that I inherited this mess and wanted to talk to the power company first then make plans from there. He asked what the goal was and I said "Frankly, get as much work done as I can for free." He tells me the crews are out with all the storm damage so he'll have them out to my place the next day. Storm damage is free work.

Got a shot and a rx topical. :rolleyes:

Awesome that you had friends that had the right stuff to help in a pinch.
Extra awesome that you get problem trees removed free!
Bummer about the (I am sure it's painful) rash.

21 hens you really dun good - beautiful fabric and great prices.:woot

Thanks! I look for the bolts that are almost empty too....good ole end of bolt discount!
The colorful stuff was already 50% off and I found 3 near empty bolts so extra off of those. :p
 
So it would be like taking a squatcher chick shopping with me?
"Oh and another Brahma, and you know that you need 3."
"Hey they got buff laced Polish pullets over here."
"Awwww look at the little bantam babies."

and that's just me :th
You should be here at this gigantic swap tomorrow. I brought my sleeping bag and will be up early.
 
Well I talked to her.
I abandoned my disabled sister, left her with nothing and robbed her of precious final moments.
No free house, car, hidden millions I pretty much left her to die.
I didn't even care either, no emotion, obviously a monster.

Even if I mended my evil, heartless dastardly ways apparently I look so much like my great grandmother im too spooky to be around anyway.
This one is actually true.:lau
And iv'e gone crazy like my great aunt Lizbeth, iv'e heard tell I hide behind trees just like her....they got me.:gig
What in the heck, these people are 50, 60, 70 years old, not teenagers.
Funny they think im the nut ball.


Thank you Bob :)

Chicky! Oh my goodness! :hugs

The things people twist stuff into instead of asking. SMH.

I think you know we love you even if you hide behind trees. We are Squatch watchers after all.

 
I guess my family isn't the only one losing their flock. I'm really sorry for all of the sickness that seems to be going around!

So my family just moved. We had already been having issues with predators, and our flock was down a lot. We gave the chickens to someone in Pennsylvania who we knew and trusted. All of them got eaten by a mystery predator, including Dove, our sweet chocolate orpington. So I'm currently chicken-less.
Sorry for your loss, Ruby!

Just build a two story coop like the one I built in TN!
 
Its o.k, iv'e seen all this before it is just my first go round as the chewy center of the crazy bar.
My sister is still pretty butthurt apparently most the chunks are hers enhanced with extra pity party for one..her absolute fav.
She isn't disabled, eternal t*tty baby isn't a disability.
Did not leave her destitute, followed the will like an adult 50/50.
Did not rob her of jack. She robbed herself bullying our mom and acting like a moron.
I was asked to remove the issue, so im a moment robber..lock me up!
I do not hide behind trees yet.
I WILL look at you out the window and not let you in if I dont want to mess with you.
That dosent sound as good though, and everybody already knows im a jerk she spiced that up for me! :lau

I know the feeling of being that chewy center. It sucks.
It is one reason I keep big dogs. The rest of the family is afraid of dogs. :p

You know how things truly went down. Try not to let a bunch of gossipy old bitties mess you up.

:hugs
