Good morning, friends!

It's COLD...33 degrees.
Last week I had to do a "first ever" in a year and a half or so...buy eggs.
It was a little embarrassing. Half my poor babies are naked (first molt)!

Now I'm getting one to two little eggies a day.

My Seramas (and the 1/2 Serama/half Silkie babies) are all hanging in there! The lowest it got down to was 17, and they are all fine. I'm starting to think the hardiness of Seramas (and Silkies, and d'Uccles) is a bit underrated...

My last dog was a walking pooper too! We always said he was too nosey to stand still.....always afraid he might miss something

He suffered from "Pooping FOMO," perhaps?!

Ow..... I really hurt.

I knew I did way to much pushing and pulling of the mobile coops white we were moving the birds. But I did it anyway (despite my DH's protests) because I hate feeling useless. Now my pregnant body is making it known how displeased it is. <snip>
I really need to get over myself and let others do the work I shouldn't be doing.

Rae!!!! You're pregnant!! Please take care of yourself, and your little lima bean in there.

Delegate, or let it go...none of that manly stuff is worth the health of you two, k?

Oh, and.....CONGRATS ON THE 59 CHICKENS! (I almost didn't see the part about the 8 or so bantams that don't count, but we'll let that slide, lol.... )

Ow..... I really hurt.

I knew I did way to much pushing and pulling of the mobile coops white we were moving the birds. But I did it anyway (despite my DH's protests) because I hate feeling useless. Now my pregnant body is making it known how displeased it it. My lower back, abs and sciatic nerve on my left side are all acting up. When I put the Milk Drinker down to bed, I laid down in my bed as usual until he fell asleep. Today I was so tired that I just vegged on my phone until it was getting close to bed time. When I tried to get up, the pain was so bad I couldn't sit up. I can't do a "sit up" method of getting up because my abs don't like it, so I roll over on my left side, hang my feet over the edge of the bed and push myself into the sitting position. This set off my lower back and sciatic nerve so bad that I started crying. I had to get DH to come over and pull me into a sitting position from laying on my back. Fortunately, an application of ice and homeopathic remedies seem to be helping a lot.

I really need to get over myself and let others do the work I shouldn't be doing.

Watch the sciatica!

Yeah, I know I need to delegate. I don't like feeling helpless.

DH just walked up behind me while typing my response to you and pointed to your second sentence and said "Ahem, I agree completely!"

Oh. I realized late last night that I didn't count my 3 Dark Cornish breeders. I also need to get an accurate count on the chicks in the brooder coop too.

Watch the sciatica!

I know. I need to go to my Chiropractor tomorrow. I had sciatic pain all through my last pregnancy and pretty bad after my c-section. My core and pelvis feels more unstable this time around. I think that is mainly the fault of the c-section.

She can have mine! I am her neighbor. It would be rude not to share.

Awwww that's so nice of you Nunny. Are you going to deliver it by truckload?

 

[Chickassan]

4 inches, yep. Got a path shoveled and only one chicken out, Negan. He is crowing his head off under the porch because nobody will follow him lol! Smart girls are eating breakfast leftovers in the coop, even Hobo is hunkered down and being CIVIL!

I broke down and put a cozy coop flat panel heater in my Serama coop. My Wyandotte Bantam and my Silky also roost with them. I think I did it more for me comfort. Haha makes me sleep better. My rule is.....I only turn it on if its going to get below 25 at night.

 

[Chickassan]

You aren't kidding, i'd like to feel half that good! Old cat still poop races after seventeen years, it must be the best thing ever.

Yep......2 of my 3 cats. It must be nice to feel so good after pooping.

Noon, and Lulu finally came out lol! Negan is estatic.
