The Amazing Big Bird!!! lol!

That's me, BB, and the back of hubby. I gotta get him to screenshot the other page for you. He taught her this trick that worked beautifully at home, but was an epic fail at the contest! :lau

It was a small feed store event, like only fifteen or so chickens, and I was mainly competing against a bunch of kids, but it was still very fun. I'll try to link to their FB page (I don't FB). There's a lot of pictures. :)

Hopefully this works. There's a bunch of pics. I look really...derpy in one of em! They are really bad pics, lol, but we had a good time, and I didn't seem to bring back any fatal chicken diseases. :D

Looks like a hoot! Hope you didn't beat the kids too bad.:gig
 
Nope, if you didn't play with the freak feet now that would be wrong. Don't doubt you one tiny bit on the screams.:D

Is it wrong that when I check on Bitty and her kids I feel compelled to pick them up and play with their freakish feet?

Bitty seems to think so. :lau

Of course they scream bloody murder the whole time. :rolleyes:

Got the kids in the run and shockingly NO terror! I think they are too mesmerized by dirt, they've really only seen hay, grass, clover, carpet and kitchen floor not too much dirt.:p
 
Worried for nothing, they're still fine better than fine actually.
They're playing on the coop ramp, dust bathing in the covered area and having a ball scratching in the dirt and leaves. They have room to really run in there which they're loving. I am sooo glad because tomorrow will likely be round two.:)
 
Thanks for the updates everyone. I really appreciate it. I know I've been gone long enough for someone to get knocked up AND about to deliver! Mazel!!!

So, here's where I am at. I basically kidnapped my mother from Florida last year and she's been living here in KY since. She is in the beginning stages of dementia. I found her 6 new doctors here, and we've been going to them regularly. The PCP doctor here CORRECTLY diagnosed her with a thyroid issue, took her off a HUGE amount of meds she was on, and put her on something to correct her thyroid imbalance. Now she doesn't have upwards of 3 doctor appointments every week.

It's been hard, but she's learning what it's like to NOT be sick.

DH retired from the Army. He put in 22 years, 2 months and 12 days. With all of his medical issues, he is considered 290% disabled. This basically means he is considered *COMPLETELY AND PERMANENTLY* disabled, so he gets 100% disability pay.... and it will never be challenged. If something DID correct itself, there's enough still wrong with him that he would still be at 100%.

We are in the process of buying a new home. With my mom living with us, there's just not even enough room in this house. We had made plans to buy some property and then have a manufactured home built on site. Last month I was skimming through Zillow and found this house: PM ME FOR THE ADDRESS!!!!

Take a look. It's seriously AWESOME! I couldn't be more thrilled with it. Sits on over 8 acres. The basement is finished like a 2 bedroom apartment, which is where my mom will live. (Y'all can start sending housewarming gifts on the 17th of May!!!! :D )


Still homeschooling the boi. However, I also started doing more work from home jobs, and was hired by Amazon. We'll be carrying 2 mortgages for a while, until we sell our current house, plus I will absolutely want some housekeeping help once we move, since the new house it literally DOUBLE the size of this house.

Our beautiful free range roo, Fat B@st@rd, finally got got about a week or so ago. We've also had a few deaths along the way, but nothing lost to winter.

Now, the reason I quit posting here is because I just felt like I couldn't any longer. I can't say depression hit me, but a huge amount of -I don't care- did. Being my moms caretaker, with her dementia onset plus her being blind AND basically being kicked out of her retirement community, I was bearing the brunt of a lot of feelings and I shut down. Days and weeks passed in a blur and I didn't know how to come back from it all.

I am still not doing well HOWEVER, I love you guys and I want to be a part of y'all, so I am here. If I ever stop posting again, feel free to bug the bejeezus outta me (AHEMCINDIAHEM). I am southern girl and it would be bad manners if I didn't reply.... and LAWD KNOWS I ain't got no bad manners!!!! :)

With all the love I can muster and a pickle!
