The Old Folks Home

[CSolis]

Morning OF.. Still alive and kicking, at least I think I am? Making progress in the bathroom affair. Got to have poached salmon and sweet tators for breakfast. Not my choice but easy on the gut, so far. L-lysine for those who don't know about it keeps a virus from replicating, therefore it dies out and the body can start healing. And for those who have never heard of Cascara Sagrada, it is the bark of a tree that the Native Americans used for constipation. I've had wonderful success with it over the years, with no stomach upset or complications. Uploading a video now of Turtle Dove and her adopted family. She's the one that had a very bad head injury, and once healed and returned to her flock, just refused to associate with any other pullet. I introduced her to Gen Lee and Corn Puff to start and friendships began to form. Then added the 6 chicks that were the latest to hatch. She roosts squashed up between Gen Lee and the babies, and eats right along with them. She's going to make an excellent momma for chicks!

It's rather chilly and blustery outside this morning, so will spend another day in the house doing some chores and resting.

Loved the vid @CSolis. Is that CP with Turtle Dove towards the end of the vid?

@bruceha2000 we were self employed so we are very familiar with those estimated taxes that have to be paid quarterly. Grumbled every time I had to mail them out. One time the State and Federal checks got put in the wrong envelopes...somebody else's error before I started working with my husband. Talk about a mess. Do you think they sent them on to the right parties? Nope, State got Federal and Fed. got State and they cashed them. Then Feds sent a letter saying our last check was short....two years later and the State sent a check saying that they were over paid.

And people get insulted when we say that trained monkeys could do a better job.

Good to see you back,

One of my 5 month old pullets laid her first egg today! 44 grams! That's as big as my first set of girls did after about 4-5 weeks of laying! And, she did it in the nest box, right off the bat. You go girl!!

I'm pretty sure it's Stormy. She's been roosting with the adults, but down on the poop board, and they let her. She squatted for me last week, and she went into the nest box for a moment earlier this week. Darl, my roo, has shown a little interest in her "that way" recently.

I hope I have bought my last dozen eggs at the store for.... ever! (LOL)

That's not funny...but it's hilarious!

@microchick yups, that's Lil Ms Corn Puff. Still loving her attention too when I go in the coop. But, on the other hand, none of the lil corn kernels is bashful about getting chest rubs. TD will stand and watch CP get scratches and then come up and peck at my leg, but still doesn't want rubs.

Could you imagine those of us who were in the military, or who are now, do a job like those in the federal government?
