Agreed! It always looks like it was freshly built and chickens added moments before the photos. Never any mess anywhere. I'm equally enviousI just love your chicken set up! Everything looks well constructed and roomy and clean! I’m jealous
How on earth are you keeping the kitten a secret? Do you have a secret lair? And omigosh she's such a sweetheart. Helping at work and holding her own against jealous pooches.Been busy this week trying to get ready for Christmas and keeping the kitten a secret. I am pet sitting for some ladies and so I’ve been bringing the kids with me so they are in the house as little as possible until Christmas haha. Miyuki is just a sweet girl, but also independent and a bit sassyI think she’s gonna fit right in. I thought Koda would be the dog that we had to be cautious of, but it turns out the Frenchie is much more of an issue. She is a little bit crazy and keeps trying to bite at her. Miyu has so far handled it, but Chloe has gotten a lot of spray bottle water to the face the past two days!
The chickens continue to be a daily surprise of illness. Eevee my big rooster boy started sounding crackly when breathing on Monday and this morning he was in pretty rough shape :-( He sounds like he can’t breathe and seems to be gasping for air. So I brought him inside and forced him to drink some Nutridrench, slathered him in VetRx, made him eat some scrambled eggs with Greek yogurt, and the gave him Tylosin and Safeguard. Feels like overkill, but the vet isn’t open till after Christmas. I’m not sure if it’s wet pox and the lesions are in his trachea so I can’t see them—or he may have gapeworms. Poor baby. He’s generally not a sit in your lap chicken, but today he sat with me all afternoon. I was somewhat encouraged by his progress over the 8 hours though—by the time I left him at 7 he was breathing much less panicky and seemed to have calmed enough to rest. So fingers crossed. He will be getting all the same things tomorrow…hopefully he shows even more improvement. Marianne definitely has wet pox in her mouth, but seems to be okay otherwise. I’m going to treat their water with safeguard since I haven’t ever wormed and it’s likely if one has worms they all might. Talk about survival of the fittest at my house!
The happiest news is that my Mommy is coming down to see us and gets here tomorrow! So excited to see her and the kids are too! Gotta love Grandmas!
I love the names. Fries especiallyFed my flock their favorite treats, Cherry Tomatoes! The absolutely love it.
My big hen, Fries, refused to get off my lap again. Queen Kong has just stopped laying eggs and started her molt, pretty heavily. The coop floor is littered with feathers!
They've been laying an egg every other day thus far. Seriously considering getting more quail, but I need to wait for the parrots to pass on.
It was still early... ♡Agreed! It always looks like it was freshly built and chickens added moments before the photos. Never any mess anywhere. I'm equally envious
Well said. I thought the same... @kurby must be a ninja master mom. I don't know how she does it. I remember being MUCH more frazzled as a parent. And Christmas time... who can plan a secrete kitten pick, adoption, pick-up and hide... an actually hide with said children in same home?!!!
The other two are named Chicken Nuggets (Nuggets for short), and Godzilla (Black EE)I love the names. Fries especially
