Cind, that is great news about the new coop-to-be! Congrats.
No worries about the kitten. If Neil can find good homes for them, that is wonderful. I sure the heck don't need yet another cat.
They just seem to show up around here anyway.
FT, so sorry to hear about your hay troubles. Don't you have a hay field near the house? I thought I remember you posting a pic of it a long time ago. I understand if your tractor is a POS, but maybe you could hire someone to cut & bale it for you? It would probably be a lot cheaper, plus you wouldn't have to haul it too far? Good luck in any case. That really stinks.
You do NOT want to move back to Racine, girlie. After having your setup, you would be so freakin miserable having to live in a city again.
DrH, so glad Donny is feeling better. That is great news. Don't worry about the bonding thing. With the cold weather, they will definitely be snuggling up next to you to mooch off your warmth.
David, I cleaned out my coop today too. Beautiful temps down here today. It looked like it was going to start pouring a few times, but luckily it passed on by. Don't think we will be as lucky tomorrow. I took advantage of the nicer temps & moved the 2 chicks from my 2nd hatch out by Jack. At first he was indifferent, which at his age & the time of the year wouldn't suprise me. But he did spend quite a bit of time with them today. He went up on the roost early, like 2pm, which is his normal thing once the cooler weather starts moving in. But after the sun went down & they still hadn't figured out where the roost was, he jumped down and was coaching them. He finally went back up and was soon followed by the lav. The black one needed more coaching by her sister but she eventually figured it out. Chicken drama.
(On their first night, DH went out and put them up on the roost).
Glad your new girls are settling in, David. I think you will also greatly appreciate that they schmidt a lot smaller too.
BL4, glad you got good brakes, and had good tires.
Scary!
Not much else exciting around here. Besides working on the coop, I got the last few straggler flower pots put away. 2 finally got frosted, but one is still hanging on & looking pretty yet. It was a shame to pack it up.
I still have a birdbath to drag in & we have to clean out the garage tomorrow. The fun never ends. Oh, and I had to give one of the rabbits a bath today too. She was not amused. And she is DH's rabbit, so you can get an idea of how that went.
Sweet dreams, all, and much better tomorrows!
