So true, but here it is all the gross female things...i'd kill for that "most" part.

Men can't take these (gross) female things! (most of them)

I been working on the nest box thingy.
I will have to take a couple pics before I put it in.
Due to the size of my plywood it is a bit shorter than intended but should still be plenty big.

Good afternoon! Well semi o.k afternoon lol!
I'm stuck with hubs, he took a trip down maybe three stairs and is now slowly dying.
Happy thoughts, I saw a groundhog eating clover in the backyard, the chicken-cat is trying to be freindly and I found a two year old red bull in the fridge almost frozen.
Yay gnome porn!! Ya'll have the best timing!


Omg! Wonderful! Two wins in one day!



Now just waiting on @Anansi for the Gertrude report.

Gertrude the goat had 4 kids and one died, over on Granny's thread.

My girl looks even better since I took that video. She is not happy to be in a cage still. But I told her one more night and a few more poops. LOL Since I gave her some food they are more solid. Much easier to clean up. The idea with the molasses water is to flush their system but yikes! I could smell her before I got to the crate.
I only fed her sparingly so she wouldn't gorge herself. Left her with the molasses water too. Gave her a good dose of Propolis last night just in case.

I think she'll be ready to go back in the morning.

Yea!

I was close to culling yesterday morning. That's not an easy decision for me but her state was so sad I thought it was humane. I could tell she was terrified. I can't imagine not being able to move when I know I'm telling my body to do something.
She was very tolerant of me giving her water and I really wanted to try to get her better but it seemed impossible.
I am astonished by how far she has come. And beyond glad I'm a big baby I couldn't bring myself to cull her.

I know, I kept a hen once that had been totally pecked. No tail, just a bloody area for her whole back side. Talk about gross. I washed, put Betadine, which had to hurt like holy hell, and crated her in the garage under the brooding lamp. Put Neosporin on the healing wound for a week, back out and laying! Never grew any tail feathers. Never let her back in with the bad pickers, either. Nice Orp, broody, gentle with chicks.

I went out to put the bunnies back in their cages, and saw two little chicks on the perch with their Dad in the packing crate coop. So cute, wish I had my phone to get a picture.

 

[Chickassan]

They have a doublewide box now! I bet Bitty thanks you!

OMG!

No kidding!
