I'm sorry.. maybe you can hit the hay early tonight!

Sigh. If only. I had a bad time trying to sleep due to draining sinuses. Got a drs appt anyway, maybe that will help.
How are you today?

Does anyone here use cedar shavings for chickens? I always "heard" cedar was toxic, but the guy I got these chick from uses is and says he always has, with no problems. It smells better. Is that just one of those myths I believed for no good reason?

Okay y'all... After all that work last night wrangling all the little birds back into the "scary coop" and going to great lengths to make sure every nook and cranny that any raccoon might find was securely covered with hardware cloth... I left the barn door wide open. I was wondering why I could hear Peter Parker's really high pitched crow so well this morning. Doh.

I'm almost afraid to ask.... Were they ok???

I really hate them too, but this whole incident is making me shore up other areas I've kind of neglected as well. I've never had an attack on my coops that are in the center of the yard because my dogs roam around them - but that one corner has been blocked off from the dogs for a while. As of today, it's been un-blocked.
I'm keeping the injured 55 pullet inside until her wound gets a decent scab (which will be a bit of a challenge because it's at a joint where her thigh connects to her body). I gave her some vitamins and electrolyte water. Hoping for the best!

Don't forget protein for healing, maybe antibiotic ointment too.

Dang I'm tired. Went to bed at 2. Back up at 5. Got everybody fed & out the door by 6:30. Got some of their chores done already. I've had at least 4 cups of coffee & just wanna go back to bed. Is this what normal people do everyday??? I don't wanna 'Adult' anymore.

Yesterday morning about 7:30 one of my CL hens was crowing outside my bedroom window. I mean full on crowing. She's been laying eggs for over a year.
