sounds like a mess Dr. Ha ha, Today my coop is being delivered. I have to put in vinyl flooring and panel the inside. Maybe replace once window so it can be opened.
Tomorrow fleet farm to get a few things for the chicks and I need to put together a brooder.

Holy cow, busy bunch, As far as town ordinances....they gotta catch ya first

that was our motto, and what we encourage others with as well.

Still haven't found old man winter, I will one day, and then we will have a nice little discussion.

Alright, I am almost cooled down from his last little snowstorm, getting chicken tractors ready to rock and roll.

Have an extra small one available if anyone needs one. We would take a reasonable donation for it.

Also looking for another Blacktailed Buff Jap Bantam, Apparently one of ours has disappeared, I have a feeling it might have to do with a med sized kitten that lives here.

@BCC mom had a white one named Foo Foo... our hideously fat pygmy goat killed it by tipping the coop door over on her and then stepping on her... it's a bit of a sore spot. Although there is something comically tragic about grown folks wailing 'oh, poor foo foo, what happened!?' To a flat chicken... maybe my sense of humor is just too dark for real life

So little Chicky Foo Foo went pecking through the barnyard, pecking on insects and bopping them on the head.. When along came a fat goat who said, "Little Chicky Foo Foo, you mustn't peck on insects, and bop them on the head. You must eat them. If I see you pecking on little insects I'll push the door down on you and STEP on YOU."
The next day little Chicky Foo Foo went pecking through the barnyard, pecking on insects and bopping them on the head.
When suddenly the coop door fell on poor chicky Foo Foo, and the Fat goat squashed Foo Foo flat, and up to heaven Foo Foo went.
The morale of this story is that chickens should eat their insects and not bop them, and that fat pygmy goats can be evil.
Oh and not name their baby chickens Foo Foo.. otherwise strange people like me will write parables about them.

Carol--my neighbor has calls...a bunch of them. I have to go down there and give him some old fence he spied in my yard. I will try to get down there this weekend and see if he will part with one. You need a hen right?

DrH I thought you were going to say that the river was frozen under your house...sure is cold here--I can imagine that being the case!

All my babies are doing well except for the one still in the bator...I will let him try to sort it out today and then I guess I will have to cull it if it doesnt. It was on it's back this morning. Still didnt fluff up like the others either. Looks like I have another silkie cross in the coop with cancer too! She was the other one's friend (that died) Hers is not so bad so I am going to try the iodine/Q-tip treatment unless someone else has a better idea? I am going to do a Google search and see what I find too.
Well--DH wants too head to the dog park early so we can get there before all the earth thaws and turns to mud; I still think it will be muddy...my poor kitchen floor!
Have a fantastic day! Terri O

I see the humor in your story chickenx and loved your little parable WIChook (possess a bit of that dark humor myself)

Carol, I thought of that sketch also.. Little Bunny Foo Foo ?

You have to picture my cousins doing this. Chuck is in his 50's about 250 pounds with his little sister.. they did the Foo Foo story at several family get togethers..
