Katt, Blarney & Wing:
Yep, that's me. No point in complaining, just get it done. I was raised to never pay someone else to do what you can do yourself, so in an absence of readily available funds I have learned to do a LOT of things myself over the years. This includes not wainting around for a man to get to it when I can get it done faster & more efficiently myself.
I sent JJ & my son back to the camper last night to take care of animals while my daughter & I stayed at the new house to get started patching & painting. (My livingroom was PINK!!!) Now to just get everything moved. $$$$ for the u-haul is the hold up since all we have is a car.

would be great if I could do half the chores then go in for a cup of coffee before doing the other half,,,(heck some days just to take a pee would be great )....

It gets very cold after my gloves get wet from waterers, but I must finish twice a day....

dreaming of summer and the day when everything is on 1 property....see folks... I hear many of you say how you envy the space I have, but remember the grass is never greener on the other side..

Wing - look into some insulated rubber gloves. I think they make them for fishing. Or neoprene gloves, keep your hands dry. I hate wet and cold.
Now to find a pair for myself.....

Thanks for all the responses, I am trying to get up the nerve to just plop them all together at night but I can't quite make myself do it yet, I'd be so worried all night. If it were summer I'd worry less & would have had them free ranging outside together long before this, I think that might have helped (at least it would have helped me...lol). I just am being silly I guess but I didn't want to have to deal with pecking injuries in this weather. Gabbie's beak looks so much sharper than Gracie's but Gracie is the oldest & larger of the 2 (probably really isn't though...lol). I do keep an infrared light on when it is cold & they don't really seem to like it much. My chickens always seem to be milling around on the floor any time I check on them hours after they should be on roost & that worried me since they don't seem to be heavy sleepers...lol Course the new ones only have the floor with lots of straw to be on since the coop is temporarily divided in half right now with the pop door, roosts & nesting boxes on the older gals side. Maybe I can force myself to do it tonight & see what tomorrow brings. I would like to let them all out in the run tomorrow together since it will be warmer tomorrow before the deep freeze starts up again...lol

...just like a chick..cheap-cheap-cheap..!!!! and it is getting worse with my old age

Yes, I remember what Ray looks like...hahha, do you were the 'kilt' around the house too?? hahha..just teasing...hey, i get it totally...like what seems to be the thought of the day here..."got to do , what you got to do"...if it works for you, well then it's all good!
The real issue in life, if your even interested in having THIS issue, is how & where to find someone compatible enough for the way you like to/have to live.....it's the real life version of "Where's Waldo"?...or Wanda..Wendy...you get the picture

....
Hope you have a good day today Ray....and everyone...please be careful out there!

I have my eye on these, like 10. bucks something US

ARGON! and the price isnt bad coming from UK for sure. I was reading up on them and found a pair available through ebay. I do wish I hadnt been so cheap not getting them weeks ago when I researched them, today was horrible watering everyone. and its only gonna get worse.
