I am tempted to try a "T" pole on my sleeping birds to see if they will step up onto it.
They should, it makes sense that they would.

I wanna try it. :cool:

let me know how it works. I've got a brat that likes to sleep 15' up in one of my trees. She's sure to be owl bait if I don't break her.
 
I will make one tomorrow and then experiment on my birds.

I wanna see if my big Brahma will step up on it. Lately she is heading to bed under the roost in the far corner.
:rant big pain in the arse moving birds and stepping over roosts to get her.
Not sick just 12 pounds of "I don't wanna get on the roost". She has done this off and on for 2 years.
 
Piggy update: No signs of bacon being pregnant. Upon closer inspection, ham does not appear to have all the required equipment to make babies. Given that the last owner had no idea what genders she had, I suspect who ever provided the babies may have taken care of any pregnancy issues before she got the pigs. I'm pretty certain at this point that the three little ones she had did not come from her sow and boar. I suspect she buys two adults and three babies from the same breeder every year and then sells them when the season is over.

the sow may be a sow even if the boar is a barrow.. maybe all you need a real boar ;)

she may be too big to get off the roost comfortably and be worried about hurting a foot... sometimes they say the big birds need a roost 24-18" high
 
Hi Squatchers! Just popping in real quick...

Going back to work (aka "The Hellhole") tomorrow.

I spent the day cleaning, making soup, reading, and reflecting. I feel good: mentally and physically healthy, and rested. It has been a good 10 days off. I have not taken Xanax or Ambien. I've been sleeping great, no more nightmares or waking up three times a night.

These ten days have given me time, space, and perspective. I feel strong. I am not ever letting anyone--or any institution--steal my self-respect, and allow me to feel "less than," shitty, and filled with self-doubt ever again.

No job--or person--will ever have that power over my self-worth. Never. Again.

It is a new year. I've sent out my request for a transfer. I expect--fully--I will not get it. I typed out my resignation letter to give them, when they refuse my request. I have a bright, shiny, glittery red manicure, with my middle finger accented, so if I start to feel doubtful, insecure, unworthy? I can look at my "Phuck You" finger and smile.

It's a new year, and I'm going into it without a net. With nothing but the knowledge that whatever happens, I'll be OK. Because I can do this. I've got this. I know I can.

Happy New Year, y'all. :)
