I DID AN OOPSIE LAST NIGHT!!!!!


Yesterday, I felt AWFUL! I'm feeling a little bit better today, but I think this cold is settling into my chest. Abby is over the hump and feeling better. Clayton didn't throw up anymore yesterday either. I guess his double-ended explosion at 4AM got it out of his system! So, he is back at school today. Oh, and his foot is healing up nicely! Still a little sore, but looks great considering....

ANYWAY..... I went down to the coop to let everyone out yesterday morning, in my jammies with coveralls over them... (it was windy, and they were thin!) I didn't go back down there until Hubby got home, and I had to feed..... still in my jammies.... Then, right at dark, I went down to get the eggs, count the heads, and shut the door. Well, I went down, counted everyone, got the eggs, shut the door behind me and came back to the house..... I woke up at about 3:00 thinking "Did I close the pop-door? I don't remember closing the pop door! Surely, I closed it... didn't I?" Well, I decided that if I hadn't, it was already too late to worry about it then. I got up at 6:30 to get the kids ready for school, got them on the bus at 7:25, looked out, and still didn't see any chickens...so I'm thinking "Ok, I really must have shut the door." So, I went and laid back down for a little while. Kelsey got up at about 9, and when I walked into the living room and looked out the window, there was Kahoots (my BCM roo) out in the yard..... I guess I didn't shut the door after all....

I did go check, and everyone is fine, and out scratching around! *shew!*
Here are my 2 bantam cochins... I'm still waiting on them to start laying, they were hatched in Sept.

I've done that.. I used to go out to open the door and find that it is still open from the night before. Old age is my excuse...

Now the pen is big enough that they can stay in all day. Pretty chickens!!

Lindz, glad to hear everyone is recovering. I sure don't miss those little kid germs! We had 2 oopsies this week. First was me, I closed the gate but not the pop door, and a couple of days later, my youngest did the same thing. I even asked him if he closed it for sure since I had blown it earlier, and he was sure he had. Not. Everyone safe and sound, though. Your Cochins are cute. Mine were hatched in May and have only been laying for a few weeks now. Guess they're slow to develop, and the eggs are underwhelmingly small, but that's not why I got them. I'm waiting for a broody! It's not about eggs for me anymore. Should-i-buy-an-incubator-or-wait-it-out.

Scrambles, that's too bad about the BCM eggs, but better late than never I say. But lavender would be lovely too!

Happy birthday Mortie!!! And Happy Belated Birthday W4W!!!

Done it too Lindz! Tho now the gate getting into the pen is so difficult to open I don't worry about it anymore. I consider the pen predator proof now.

Girls are out free ranging since it's suppose to rain for the next three days. Pup is in his crate to give mom a bit if a break.

Got to pick up the niece tonight and then deliver her to a swim meet tomorrow am which I'm not looking forward to cause all of the driving. Tho it's been 4 weeks since I've seen her so I'm happy about that!

Work has been crazy today. Do people not know it's a Friday????
