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.

The BC and Silkies are my oldest, so no.

I was trying to get everyone in the coop situated tonight (I added a nesting area, moved a ladder and everyone has been freaking out). Blackie, my largest Silkie, bit me and wouldn’t let go! Good thing it didn’t hurt. I have a weird group of chickens.

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.
