***OKIES in the BYC III ***

[Captain Jack]

I'm new here but I'm glad I missed all the apparent b.s., lol. I am new to chickens, just starting out w 2 RIR hens & a small tractor coop for the moment. I live in Tushka, just North of Durant & south of McAlester.

Apparently Tuesday is a repeat of Monday for me... $500 to replace the radiator in my van, puppy chewed up a nice crate I left in the chicken yard because of the rain, lost another mottled orpington juvie last night, goat managed to pull down and chew on an extension cord, and I had a shed full of dead and dying chicks because one set of brooder chicks knocked their door loose and another brooder I forgot to set the pin in the door after putting in a larger lightbulb last night to keep them warm. GAH I am so frustrated today. And honey season is here and I'm not prepared, all the frames and boxes I was prepping got drenched in yesterday's rain, and we are closing on our old house in two weeks and I have no idea how or when we are going to finish moving the things we still have up there. And because of the cold I have a metal trough in my laundry room full of stinky 3 week old chicks that I don't dare leave in an outside pen until the cold passes. And I need to do laundry so bad. This is not my week. I would scream it I thought it would help.

I feel like I need my head rearranged if you know what I mean!!!! I'm at the point where I am so behind on everything I don't know where to start. Got to start saying NO sometimes but I'm already past that point on most of this stuff!!! But thanks for the offer!

The fires last week evidently displaced a lot of wildlife.

(Edited for spelling)

Oh I am so sorry!!
You did what you had to do with the fox, sad but a fact when raising chickens...

I know what you mean. Sunday was a 'shouldn't have left the house day....running late...had emotional breakdown. ...drove wrong direction'. Not as bad as what you a getting but I understand how you feel.

Just holler if you change your mind.

If you want to sit and clean and fill beehive frames with me I'm always up for company. And it would MAKE me do it. But don't feel obligated!
