Welcome to my pond - Swim, wade, or sit on the bank

[Fields Mountain Farm]

at my house the feet get muddy.. and then it freezes... and then they loose toes! Or they get snow and ice balls on the feathered toes...and. .... loose toes!

I would try to remember to check feet every night... but yeah right

Anyway. ... no more of those.

Yeah, if I had I had all that to deal with I wouldn't have em either..

Boo on the migraine! After the one that sidelined my surgery, my Dr. prescribed Imitrex. I have had one since, tried the Imitrex and it worked wonders! I was back to being functional in about 4 hours.

They keep telling me to get the ear piercing. If I could remember to stop and do it when I don't have a migraine, I might just do it.

Understandable. Mine jump up on the coop and I hear the mud balls. That's usually when I break them off.

I used to have a few Cochins, and Faverolles, and d'uccles and Marans. The Marans weren't too bad but mine were very light on the feathering.

I had the worst time with those bantam d'uccle. Maybe because they are bantam and so short? And liked hiding in nest boxes and flying up to skinny inappropriate perches? Very cute birds.. some great colors... sweet hens but the roosters were all A holes.

Just saw Lexi off her nest so I took the opportunity to check her eggs. 12 eggs, only 1 clear. I left it, because she has such a beautiful arrangement and mound built, I didn't want to mess it up! Lol

Time to lay back down. Head busting again.

A friend of dd1s had that done. She had really bad migraines, like you!
And after she did it they stopped.

My silkies always look look the worst! They're low to ground ..
And there's a few mutts with light feathering. If we get a big snow they get a little frosty but rarely snows and doesn't usually stick around long enough to cause a problem...
Usually!

SO cute!!!! I love the fuzzy feet too, but feel bad for them in the Spring when they're wearing clay boots. Losing toes, would definitely be a deal breaker.

They have piercing for migraines? I gotta look into that for MIL. Hope you feel better!

I don't get them often, but when I do, I'm pretty much useless for the day. Can't handle light, sound, or movement. Sometimes they make me throw up.

Ya know, if you'd quit smacking it against that wall it wouldn't hurt so much...

Those are some beefy looking birds, Dan!

Yeah.

Indeed. Maybe. I guess it doesn’t matter.
