The Moonshiner's Leghorns

[The Moonshiner]

Y’all pray for me please. I am not well. I have my certification board exam scheduled for this weekend and of course as per usual with my luck we are expecting a big arctic snow storm in my area to start, when you ask? The day of my exam. If it hits, my exam will likely be cancelled and postponed. My anxiety feels like I am being hunted for sport and I am having trouble sleeping.

Got it.
I often wonder how you do all you do so ya I get it. We're predictable for the same snow and cold this weekend. Hope it takes it easy on all of us.
Also hopefully you get through all that sooner rather then later. The goal line is in sight. You got this.

Maybe a silver brassy back (not sure if those would have a silver breast.) maybe a very dark silver quail.

Funny story: my husband was out predator-proofing part of the barn for my chickens. I had just let the silver leghorn pullets and cockerel out to mingle a few hours before. He called me because the pullets were apparently picking on the cockerel and had him cornered in a kennel but I misunderstood and thought the big hens were picking on the pullets in general so told him to put them back in their kennels. I went out to lock them up and the poor cockerel was all alone and the pullets in a different kennel. Asked my husband about it and heard the full story…like the part where he gave the cockerel “a little cuddle” cause he felt bad for him Mr “Damn Chickens” is out there cuddling them when I’m not looking.

Aww that is so sweet!

Thank you kindly! I appreciate all of the prayers from the bottom of my heart! I would not be able to do all I do without the support from my husband and son. They are my rock.

I rescheduled my exam for today so I didn't have to postpone it for another week. My nerves could not have handled that. I was barely sleeping and driving myself crazy with worry. The prayers did their thing for sure because I PASSED!!!!

I am officially a Nurse Practitioner!

We are hunkered down preparing for the freak arctic storm we are about to get. I pray you all and your families stay warm, the electric stays on, and the animals do okay! The combs of the roosters are going to look like trash after this.

Maybe some variation of melanizer at play? She is going to be cool looking!

Everyone being effected by the storm stay safe.
