Woo...evening everyone. Fighting a loverly sinus infection/allergies today. Feel a sneeze comin, and it stops, backs up and lets the liquid squeeze out my eyes, a most excellent feeling indeed. We have been busy here, with the weather being nice the last few days, I went out to the garden, yes, with my bath towel hanky in tow, and planted broccoli, cauliflower and lettuce starts that were ready to go in the hoop house, added our organic slug bait, and will try to get them covered up tomorrow. The glass greenhouse is just chock a block full of starts, and I have 1200 onions that need to be planted before Saturday.
Marty, one of our buff orp girlies was almost gone the other day with a coyote. Rikke (DW) has been working on her daily to get the holes on the mend, the large tear on her back to start a healing, and the hole back by her vent closed up. She is doing well, and should be moved out into the larger brooder / apartment, I made for her in the garage. Going to go get some of that closed cell 1 1/2 inch foam sheeting to make sure she is warm out there. The cement floor would not be good for her to repair in. Made a mobile run for her to be in outside when one of us it out there with her, she seems to like being with the other girls, but, not being WITH them for her own safety. Rikke checked out Marty's leg today, it does not seem broken, she seems to think it is muscle or nerve damage that is not yet healed. Rikke seems to have a knack for taking care of the animals here, giving the goats, and the chickens their shots when needed, and when vitally necessary for them to heal. Pen-G makes a mess of a chicken's poo .. not like it isn't already messy.
Here is a pic of Marty out in her mobile shelter, enjoying the outdoors.
Hope you feel better soon! Sorry to hear about your peeps!
