Kim, OUCH! and Dang, Dang, and Darn. Stupid stairs always moving about.

Anyway, hugs and good wishes, hopefully it's not a concussion of any kind and you will be up and about in a day or two. Best to rest, just incase.

Well this afternoon I am going to go remove that other colony of bees from the softball field. And I am even more excited. See I will have a shadow. I just learned of a young man (13) on the spectrum who wants bees. So I invited his mom to bring him along. I also told his mom I will donate one complete deep hive. They will need to order bees and may have to buy foundation. Not sure if I have any to give.

That's really cool of you CR. Hope all goes well with the removal.

well, your Polish is a beauty; now I have to have one!

I have 8 polish hens and 1 polish roo. I swear I do. Yesterday it was a fine rain coming down, the wind was about 5 - 7 mph and the temp had dropped. Oh yes, my chickens have a very nice dry coop and a 4 x 8 covered area in their run, plus there's a poll barn and a long bench I sit on and they take dustbaths under, but where were they. Yep wandering around out in the cold and rain. Silly Chickens.
Rascal was smart, he went into his side of the coop where there was food on the floor and out of the rain and wind. Hmmmm.
(don't jump on me about the polish thingy, I am Polish)

A very nice recycle.

What would consist of a really good manmade dust bath for my girls? I know I have ash in the wood burner right now, and DE. What about a base? Just play sand? How about dirt from my yard once I find some dry? Just want to get one going again now that it's not raining sideways so much into the run. Anyone got some good ratios? I'll be putting it all into a black concrete mixing pan...a HUGE one that easily fits 3-4 dust bathing birds at a time.

Quote: You got it.

Yet, I did that one year and you think the chickens used it?

Oh no not them. I even stuck one in there and it hopped out.

I'm thinking maybe if I had just laid it under their coop instead of a box I don't know. Had a big wood box with very low sides to make it easy to go in and out.
But nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!

Holy cow. Rest your brain Kim! I worry about head injuries... is anyone near that can check on you periodically? As far as the kitties tripping you - did you do something to tick them off recently? Was it premeditated you think? They can look pretty innocent but I'm suspicious...
