Shadrach's Ex Battery and Rescued chickens thread.

I am now in week 27 with the shingles.

Do you have any idea when these shingles will vanish?
Hopefully the pain diminishes week by week. Both for you and Shad.

I find I sleep best from around 5am to 11am. I have absolutely no idea why this is.

I sleep poorly with my broke shoulder too. For me its often from around 2.30 to 10 am. Often waking up twice, around 6 and 8 for quite some time.
I find it strange this isnt improving bc the pain is not as bad like in the first weeks.

I haven't seen the hawk in a few days, perhaps it flew south for the winter?

Hawks don’t fly south to escape winter like geese, cranes and swallows.

We managed to miss the rain. We all got out for a couple of hours. Coop is still mite free but I'm sure there are a few lurking in there somewhere. I'll give it a couple of days and give it another torching just to make sure. The mites seem to arrive in hot dry spells and once the temperature starts to drop and the rain moves in that's mite season over.
The rescue cockerel was running around the field when I got there. He can get on the coop roof and from there I assume he can make the flight over the fence.

Have you always been like that?
I was just reading about this. They think the need for someone to stand guard when the rest of the tribe was sleeping caused the genetics.

No, I used to be able to sleep on a clothes line.

Maybe this strange lullaby helps a bit.

No, I used to be able to sleep on a clothes line.

No real explanation, but something about the beginning of that song reminded me of Canary in a Coal Mine by the Police. Or maybe it just rhymes well with Sleep(ing) on a Clothesline Regardless, may you have neither of those songs stuck in your head until 5am!

Lovely. I can clearly see who is Pinecone

Post Scriptum : I deeply regret raising the issue and will now really keep my mouth shut about subjects that do not directly ensue to chicken.

I think you did fine. To be honest, I enjoyed the discussions. I'm under the impression that no one was bothered.

Light: I live by no rules.

Pinecone is Skeksis's only son, and he got his mama's feathers.

Ten! What are you going to do with them all? I can't see that working out.

I have found a home for one, hoping to rehome two more, then eating the rest. Those bantams have hardly any meat but hubby thinks they'll be great as bourbon chicken.
