Slow and steady gets the job done. Enjoy the trip as much as the destination.

View attachment 1629881 having a really wild party with friends. . putting a puzzle together
Look at hubbys yellow hair
My daughter done highlights on mine last night and had half bottle leftover. . somehow she talked him into being a guinea pig

Gotta love that guy!

1 more hour to go here before new years.

The fireworks for the city were set off at 8pm!!!! Pretty funny!

Spouse wants us to go to a speakeasy tomorrow.

You have to go to a payphone, hit a special button, answer a riddle, get the password, be told to enter the red or green door... go in the correct one, get to the secret entrance, knock on a closed door, where just like in the movies a guy opens a sliding peep hole, asks you for the password... and you have to tell him.. THEN you get in.



Can't we just go to a regular bar?

Sounds like fun. Try to enjoy it!

@Shadrach how's your hen doin today?

No improvement really.
She's eating like a wolf and otherwise looks fit but just isn't walking.
She's been out in the maternity unit run today and has been calling for Cillin her rooster and dad which is a bit heart rending. Her Tribe has been by and spent a while with her outside the run.
She's in with me now. Given her more vitamins, half dose of Metacam and a bit of gentle physiotherapy on the leg. It's going to take time I think.

Poor girl..
I hope she improves soon!
I can't remember if you've already tried or not but what about a warm soak a couple times a day?

To tell you the truth I've never put a chicken in a water bath. In general the chickens here at least avoid water like the plague. I didn't even use a bath for an egg bound hen which is what usually gets recommended.
Warming the leg makes sense but to take any weight off it the water would need to be quite deep.
I don't know FMF, I may try it if all else fails.
