Pipd's Peeps!

I meant to check in before now. But, haven't had time or made time. I just learned how to knit and then crochet so I have been working on a few yarn projects. I went to look at my notifications and it's completely blank even the show all. Not sure what that's about. LOL

It depends on how long it's been since you last checked. I know there's a threshold, I just don't remember what it is

I always advise people to look at their watched threads under forums instead of relying on the notifications. I haven't lost track of a single thread since I started going there. The notifications tell me I need to check watched, and the watched threads stay in bold text until I actually click and read them.

As for the mice, I think I'm just really observant and and the ick factor keeps my mind on them. So I'm always looking for them. I've talked to a few local people and they think they don't have mice. I think they just don't see evidence because they aren't looking for it. Plus, then they tell me their kids take care of everything and I'm like oh yeah, you def have mice.

Haha, yeah, even I've fallen for the "no signs of mice" thing. I should know better!! I definitely am aware of them now!

With the very last cold spell, I put the oegbs into the coop. It was too cold. windy, and snowy for them to stay out. I think they were appreciative as Rose jumped right into the coop.

I tucked my OEGB girls in between the big fluffy girls during that cold spell. Looks like I'll be doing the same a few nights this week. Winter just doesn't want to give up!

Not much to say on the birds this week. Not much to say about anything honestly! I'm just locked in and working my way through projects, homework, competencies, and the last of the semester. 7 weeks to go!

The girls have been free-ranging a lot this past week, and they're laying like crazy already! Not even April and I'm drowning in eggs! I also thought I took a bunch of pictures of them this week, but I only have two

Here's Georgia giving me attitude for not making the grass grow faster so she has greens to munch. Hard life these birds live.

And old lady Caz Cochin getting some sun the other day She similarly looks like she's tired of me and my negligence

Another long week without much to say. I'm short on time today because I have 2 tests tomorrow, one on Friday, 3 papers to write before next weekend, and the ongoing competencies and quizzes and homework in between.

I did finally get my first perfect score on a competency this past week, though! Maybe there's hope for me yet!

A little short on pictures again this week. By that I mean almost none... I tried to grab a few decent ones today so that I'd have something to share at least!

Here's Flint, Chicha, and Birch waiting expectantly like they thought I had something for them

Ganymede mid turn-and-run as I crouched for a picture

Birch getting a drink from a dirty water dish, shortly before I emptied those and filled their wall-mounted waterers. Hopefully we'll actually stay warm enough for them from here on out!

...And that's it.

Oh, except I did get a wind egg from one of the girls in the green pen yesterday! The first picture is all the eggs I got yesterday and the second picture is the wind egg in between normal Cochin bantam eggs just to really show how much, err, hard work was put into that one. Does she get an A for effort?
