I think you might be right. I have never felt like this before. What really freaked me out was my hands and my speech. Scary. I'm going to go to the doctor first thing tomorrow-I've been pretty much staying inside since the heat is so bad. I did let the girls out this afternoon, pretty early, and they were so good, just staying around the bushes by the pen, dirt bathing under there, then just hanging out. When I heard thunder about an hour ago, I went out to check them, and they were already in the pen, waiting for me to close it. Such good girls.
I heard there was possible hail coming. My husband just got home, and he was on his bike. I'm glad he missed it!!
Oh thanks Mags! I'll check it out. I was on a Meetup Group that was for Southern CT but I didn't care for most of those people. The woman that ran it was a bit too bossy for me and they weren't anywhere near as much fun as everyone here.
Can I just say how nice it is to have a medical professional on this board?! Good looking out Christine!
She's SO CUTE!!! Nutmeg is a perfect name! Isn't it funny how the girls form such attachments? I've been watching my herd, I got my EE's at 2 weeks old, from a group of probably 100. They stick together like velcro. My BO, Lovey and my Whoknowswhatzit girl, Ducky are always together, and my 2 bantams, Henrietta and Miss Boots, freak out when they're not side by side. On the other side of the coin, May and Flower the BR's are not attached to each other, but both are glued to ME! I'm sure Tiana will form another attachment out of necessity. I believe all of them need a partner.
Say hi to Nutmeg everyone! Silver laced bantam PULLET from Clark Farms in Higganum, CT. Chipmunk crowed for the first time today and I did get it on video, so it was bittersweet to say goodbye to him. The Clarks were very nice and have lots of different breeds; they were real excited to see Chipmunk's feathered feet and I think he'll be adding to the genetic mix of their flock. I handed over a roo and picked up a pullet for $20 and a nice drive in the country. Also we stopped at Shake Shack in Westport mostly to see what the fuss is about. I took Chipmunk out of the trunk and put him in the shade while we ate and when we came back to the car he had a whole fan club going. Spreading chicken luv! The only thing I feel awful about is poor Tiana, Chipmunk's big sister. I put her in the isolation area with Nutmeg and she is cheeping hysterically trying to get into the main coop. I think she is looking for her baby brother still. Hopefully she'll just adopt Nutmeg like she took on Chip.
I sure will!
