Anyone going to be attending Coweta Auction Friday?
Muesky and I are going to be there. We call our adventures "Chickeny Goodness Tours". They sure are fun and a good getaway from stress even if we don't come home with any birds.

I am resting a horrible headache, and doing neuro checks on myself.  I was helping my husband w/ an outbuilding he is building and a rafter dropped on my head.  It didn't knock me out, but I saw stars.

How is the headache now? Sure hope you are much better.

It is still there, but much better, thanks for asking

We recently spent 3 months house payments on our senior cat, Nigel. (Actually he is my husband's cat) He has been with us longer than any of our other animals and is a true companion. He has heart failure and is doing ok on heart meds but they are hard on his kidneys and he is also in the early stages of renal failure. He doesn't have much longer so we are enjoying our days we have left together. The initial costs were from an emergency clinic in OKC because our regular vet, Dr. Link Sr.,at Deer Creek in Harrah was so busy. Nigel is now under the care of Dr. Link Jr. and prices are much better. No wonder Deer Creek is so busy, so kind and good prices. We are glad that Dr. Link's son is now in practice with him and is just as kind and knowledgeable about cats as his father.

Our pets become like our children...we do what has to be done to make them comfortable. Nigel is a beautiful cat!

Glad to hear that. Are you staying awake for a while in case of a concussion?

Rinda, Megan and Ashley, I've mailed your seeds...happy flower gardening.

I've been cutting down the fading sunflowers that grow around my chicken pens for shade. Saving a lot of energy, I use limb loopers to cut them off right at ground level. The tiny seeds fall to the ground in the process and there is a flock of scavengers at the ready to scarf them up.

I've been hatching quail every two weeks and feeding them out to put in the freezer. I'm getting equal numbers of males and females. Found eggs in one of the cages...means the girls are ready to sort out the nicest to go into the breeding pen. The rest will be processed along with the males.

And...since this is my first year with pheasant, I'm finding fertile eggs in the pen now...instead of the normal laying season of March to June. I'm collecting them and adding to the incubator, coordinating the hatch date with chick hatches.

I wonder if the young hens have their schedule due to our unusual weather this year. Even my peach trees have a few blooms, a few of the blackberries have a second crop and I found three mom moth dill plants while weeding the turnip bed.

We like to watch the show "American Pickers". A rerun today was filmed in Checotah, Ok.

I was just wondering about them today!!

I'll be stopping by just for a few minutes to deliver some honey to Kelly. I'll wave if I see you!

It's been 8 hours since the injury and no s/sx of concussion so I think going to bed will be okay

I'll be sitting in the chair next to Kelly. Make sure you visit. I didn't get any chicken-friend time last month, so I've got a chickeny goodness deficiency that needs attention.

See you there, Rinda : )

@Kassaundra. sure hope you are feeling better today and that your headache is gone. When I hit the top of my head a few years ago on a metal rail under a trailer I saw stars and passed out. The headache lasted three days, yet the egg sized knot on my head lasted for two weeks.

Finished a hatch of Columbian Wyandotte and Bantam...20 out of 35 eggs set. 14 CW and 6 Bantam are happily bouncing in the brooder. I've started adding Nutridrench to the water in the brooder. It has helped the recent quail hatch and another CW hatch. Their appetites for feed and water grows quickly and I haven't had to remove a weak chick with these treated hatches.
I add Oxine to the water when they go into the big brooder and use it in all the water containers in all pens and cages. The chicks have been much more healthy this year than last year...I'm a much happier breeder/mom too.

In the garden, the carrots, lettuce, radish and turnips are up and thriving. I'm keeping a close eye on rabbit damage and will roll out the 1" chicken wire as well as the 22.

Still have the headache, been tx w/ tylanol, no asa or nsaids (just in case) and no wine. Pretty sure I have a concussion, I had a big and ness. day today so I'll rest more tomorrow and hope that helps.
