Morning friends!

Good morning!

making the most of it.

Sounds all fine and dandy. Then you throw the modifying word...

...maybe

Does that mean there a blanket and good movie in your near future?

Sure did feel like it! I didn't get the final chick in their spot till 7:30 last night. I did however put one of the heat plates in use, and love it already. I know the infrared is okay in regards to keeping their day/night schedule, but a complete lack of light as night was nice. It was actually quite, to the point I double checked they where still alive.

Yeah the heat plates are great... and the chicks can get eerily quiet when they're all under there all cozy.

Morning all!

Yesterday was spent basically rebuilding the quack shack. My husband insisted that we build it in the shade and then move it to it's spot behind the chicken run, but I told him it probably wasn't a good idea since we wouldn't be building it on a level surface. Well, he never listens to me so we built it, moved it, and all the measurements were off and it all had to come down so everything would be square. This is basically why I just hire people to build all the things.

We finally got back to where we were before we moved the shack, and then I started painting. I decided that I hate painting with a passion (I really do) so I was going to rent a paint sprayer since I need to paint the shack AND my barn. Home Depot wants $97/day for a medium duty sprayer, and that seems like a bit much, so I just bought my own.

I haven't ever used a paint sprayer before, but it wasn't too bad. I do now know that painters wear those full body suits for good reason... I wore a mask and goggles, but I had paint everywhere else. Luckily it came out of my hair or I probably would have died.

Heyo Kendra! Anything fun going on today?

Mm, no, not that I can think of.

Oh, I did let Olly out yesterday, he seemed happy to be with everyone.

Bella now hangs out with the other ducks, I thought with lucky gone he'd try and mate the ducks but he doesn't, he'll only follow them around and sleep with them.

Very errily. When the lights came on this morning though, the chirps and cheeps came right back.

Btw, I get what you where saying about the Brinsea. The feet on that thing are getting modified. The idea of the design is okay, but holly failure on the execution of it. I thought I was going to break it just putting it together. (for those wondering why I'm modifying her equipment, she gifted this unit to me because of horrible foot design. Gotta be Heman to take it apart)
