Migraines are the worst I have had chronic migraines for years... Have you tried caffeine? Sipping on coffee or soda helps me sometimes.... Hope you feel better soon.

I have been wondering if caffeine kicks them off (or the fact that I usually only drink caffeine when I'm extremely tired). I'm exhausted... still recovering from back-to-back activities. We pushed hard for a couple of weeks to get our coop/run done... finished the night before camping. Then, our 5-day camping trip which is a lot of work because we're tent campers, and we took the boat out of storage, followed by my working our 4-day Cub Scout camp in the hot sun. This morning I was so tired I drank coffee, which I rarely do. Within an hour or so, the migraine started coming on. Maybe it is just because I'm so physically spent.

Now that the sun is down and I'm in a dark room, I'm feeling better. Thank goodness.

Teva, I'm very sorry about your chickens...

Quote: I figured 3-4 Silkies could live full time in the tractor. If they have a larger outdoor space I feel comfortable fudging a little on the sleeping area. The "run" area under the tractor is 4x8. So 4 silkies might be a little tight, but 3 would be good. They can't free range like LF because all kinds of hawks large and small see them as an easy meal.

I have seen a dog run at Costco, 10x10 with a cover, for like around $450ish. A converted dog house works well for Silkies.

Just sayin.

Oh! And Robin - do you need any linoleum for your coop floor? My sister gave me a nice big piece of pretty white with a square pattern and I have a lot left - plenty for your VF coop!

No worries Dana, they're doing fine here. I bought an enormous plastic bin at IKEA for a brooder and they've still got plenty of space.

Thanks for the offer of linoleum too! I might just take you up on it.

Hi everyone, gosh it just took me a whle to catch up...and it's been so slow here I didn't expect to have to read over much after church today! LOL.

CR - thanks for your post. I've been obsessing. And then feeling guilty in the morning for not letting everyone out of the coop before 9am. But I still have open areas near my rafters in the run that a coon could easily get into and kill my whole flock! I'm thinking about chancing it for a while and stopping all the fuss about closing up the run and coop every night, but then if I got a coon to kill some birds I know I'd be so upset over ANY loss. Don't know what to do, DH is done working on the chicken stuff.

Keep in mind that all of my coops / runs are enclosed. Mostly with chicken wire but some of my top covers are fishing net. While they are fairly secure there is still a chance of an attack. I have had one (what I believe was) hawk attack. while it did hit the wire and push it down a long way there was no entry and no harm to my birds.

My Icelandic listing on eBay the guy who won he came down from Brewster today did pick up eggs and he bought six more icelandic chicks to go with it
Today was a good day

So you want anything brought over from here when I go to Seattle on Tuesday taking orders

I could also bring fresh rainier cherries or Bing cherries

Glad you were able to sell so many of your Icelandics!

Don't need chickens, but fresh cherries...hmmm, I think I will PM you.

True Migraines are caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain. You need to see a neurologist. And you may be asking how do I know? I HAD them for several years. I sometimes got 4-5 a week. They kept me from work and driving. I was panicked with the headaches and Dr's telling me try this med and that. See I had just lost my dad to a brain tumor and his symptoms were very similar. I finally got a Dr. that sent me to a Neuro. He did tests told me what it was and put me on daily preventative meds. I have no problem now. Well with migraines!
