I just tracked the blue boy. He has made it through the sort facility in Kansas and is "guaranteed" to arrive to Kathy by 3:00 p.m.! The P.O. does not take their own guaranteed delivery dates/times very seriously though. BTW Kathy if his feathers look dull I dusted him as a precaution before sending him off. They stack the live birds on pallets at Sacramento and that makes me worry. Also I haven;t wormed my birds for awhile and he is pretty young so he has probably never been wormed. Just a head's up.

And yes, I did stop by the antique mall. I bought a duck decoy for the mantle. Michael said the parlor is looking a bit "girlie." I also bought a black hat with feathers to hang on the wall in my office. I bought another picture of a chicken which is n direct violation to the "no more chickens" deal I made with Michael. But it was so cool I had to have it. He'll never notice one more, right?

I ran the other errands I needed to do in the big city and came home late in the afternoon. I moved my chick into the living room for the day because they were hanging out in the Hovabator after hatching in the Brinsea. I have permission to use the bathroom in the basement to incubate and keep chicks for a few days until they are ready to go into the brooder house. I think the temps will be much easier to maintain in the basement than outside in the cold, non-insulated little yellow house. The bathroom in the basement is just an old non working shower and a sink. No toilet. It was an ancient boat toilet that they took out before we moved in because it didn't met code. They installed new laminate wood flooring so it should work well for incubating. Plus, there are no windows so I can candle in there. Y'all know I'm a candling fool!

Most of today will be spent worrying and waiting for my appointment at 1:45 to have this wisdom tooth extracted. I check back in when I am coherent again.

I hope the surgery goes well!

If you call your local post office, they can get into the real tracking system. That one will give you all of the information. Usually you won't get the full tracking log until a day after the delivery. The Post Office can get all of that now.

He should be arriving at my PO in about an hour (noon). I called and checked and they thanked me for calling because they were confused about something. She had a call from Kansas City and the name and address do not match. She asked me if the name on the box might be something different.

I have no idea what she is talking about, but she did say he should be here within an hour.

I can't wait to see pictures!

Looks like we have a new name for Kathy's roo.. Blue Boy...

Of course it's her bird she can change it....

I want him to eat and drink before I let him out to run.
Thank you so so much, Mary!

I am happy he made it to you safely!

Looks like he travelled well.

I probably screwed up the address on the shipping slip since I was on Vicodin. He looks pretty good for traveling. I hope you like him.

I have great news. I got a call at 9:45 this morning from the oral surgeon's office saying they had a cancellation and if I could be there in 15 minutes I could get it done four hours earlier. I got my Michael up and off we sped to the office. I arrived in time, liked the oral surgeon a lot, had the extraction, stopped at the store for prescriptions and soft foods and I am home ready to nap. Still can't tell if that was the tooth causing the pain because I am numb. I was under general anesthesia so I am a bit wonky and need to rest. The oral surgeon is a new chicken owner and he had lots of questions for me. He was concerned that one of his chickens is missing some tail feathers and you can see some skin. The last thing I remember before going under was explaining molting.

I'll check back in after a nap. I am so glad I am still not waiting for my appointment time. This couldn't have worked out better.

Love ya' all lots. Hey Diva, I am on Norco now!

Mary, YAY for the new chicken-keeping dental specialist! I can imagine discussing molting as I drift off... My dentist loves the eggs I alway bring to the office; I've talked about my chickens with him and his staff whilst nitrous oxide keeps me from spazzing out about dental work. For some reason everybody there smiles broadly at me when I show up for my appointments.....
