My gosh, it's cold this morning. 18 degrees at my house in Damascus! Everything covered in frost. My girls are sure happy for their heat lamp. I'm happy for the heated water thingy so I don't have to break ice every morning.

Think I'll make them some oatmeal this morning for breakfast.

Still breaking the ice here at least it's not as thick this morning.

It was 4 inches think on my horse tank yesterday. My soon-to-be-ex husband would never allow me to buy a tank heater because he thought it wasn't worth the expense. Since he left on Friday, that was the first thing I went to buy at the feed store. It's lovely to have a thawed out tank this morning for my boys!

Be careful out there folks, I had a raccoon threatening this morning, but I chased it away. It must be the hardest time of year for them to make a living I suppose. As a result of the attack, I have an injured bird, and wonder if you fellow oregonians would help me with some advice? No one is answering my topic.

Hey Chicken Tamer,
I see you roleplay but I do not do D&D style lol.

Hey guys, hubs and I are looking for friends to make and visit or come out to visit. We dont have kids or dont mind them we are just bit... lonely for company. We do games, movies, pets, books and fun things, we just need a couple good set friends. You are welcome to bring favorite pet or whatever. Anybody feel like a get together? We are both early 30's so still young enough to have fun, hub is into some sports, me more into animals, art and games and fun things lol. Come see our two, meet the zoo and have fun

Funky there is some great advise in that forum you could use, try the advise given. The vets are your best bet for something like that anyways.

Make sure to search on here about aggressive roosters and how to handle them. At my little farm, first attack on a human will be the last. There are too many good roosters in the world to deal with one that attacks people. When mine has shown the slightest form of aggression(wing flaps, flaring hackles, head lowering) I have dealt with it immediately and made sure he knows I AM the ALPHA ROOSTER.
