Now I know that leaving the inside of the Duck Hotel to be painted today was a good idea!!! Setting up the heat lamp and my patience! Here is to a long day inside huffing paint!! We haven't hung the doors yet so the heat lamp should help things dry quickly!!!'

yeah, marans roos are pretty quick to show themselves. I have at least one out there of the group of 1-month-olds... I know Mossyrock is kinda far to go, but if I have to rehome one, I'd rather it go to a BYCer so I know it's in good hands...

I will have Black Copper Mararas Roosters for anyone, I know I have a few right now that Im not liking the color of.

But if your just starting out and want good lines cant go wrong with them.

Also have eggs if anyone wants to try them, Ive been getting good hatchs.
But I will say I just send one more big roo away so I can keep more of the up and comming boys.
Im still getting nice dark eggs also and they have been laying since Aug.

I would go get more. But I just brought 6 new babies home today... I made the mistake of going into the chick area at Cenex in Poulsbo... Well, I promised my younger brother that I would get him a Polish last year... So I bought two...

Then I went around the back side of the cages, and saw what looked like frizzle babies! I asked what they were, and the worker said they were frizzles. Then proceded to tell me they were a special order from 3 weeks ago!!! Then offered them all to me for $1 a piece!

They are so cute, and are in quarantine.

My husband says there is something wrong with me!

Thats ok with me!

I will post pics in a bit.

Were there anymore polish or frizzles left?? Were they bantams or standards.

There was one or two left, and they are bantams. Ive never had bantams, so it will be an adventure for sure!

So I knocked myself out yesterday, wound up in the hospital for a few hours. Had a CT Scan of my head and neck. Cant drive for a few days, and have a GNARLY cuncussion...

So what did I do??? lol I was putting up a temporary fence for the horses to graze in my yard. Started on the first T-post, got 3 good pounds in with the manule post driver, lifted the 12lb post driver to high, hit the top of the T-post, it slid out of my hands, and knocked me right on top of my head. Litterally out cold. And somehow I managed to get hit on the head a second time, somewhere between the first smack on the head, and hitting the ground. My adopted brother took me to the E.R. had to carry me into the hospital, as I couldn't hold myself up, my vission was all a blur, and BOY did my head hurt. The charge nurse asked what happened, and my brother tells them, "Oh she got hit in the head with a 12 pound pipe!" So I can only emagine what the nurses were thinking when they heard that!

The Dr. says that the C.T. Scan came out looking great, gave me a prescription for pain killers "I dont like pills." Told me to stay away from the post driver for a few days, and to not drive! UGG!!!

Oh and to top it off. My blood pressure was sky high! 160/100!!! OH MY GOD!!! I need to relax and quit stressing out so much.

So if I post something that makes absolutely NO sence... Well just chalk it up to my head being all messed up. lol

I think its hilarious that I litteraly knocked myself out,

but I am SO very glad it wasn't too serious.

Oh and my headis killing me!

Moral of the story guys... Dont hit yourself in the head with a T-postpounder... It REALLY hurts!!!

Um, wow! That was pretty creative!

The question I always ask my kids in a situation like this is, "But did it knock any sense into you?"

Hope your head feels better soon!
