I relate about the thyroid. One of my childhood memories was me clinging to a huge gas heater and hugging it to get warm. Later "my spot" in the house was on the floor on the heat vent.

it's ridiculous. I was always sensitive to cold, never really gave it any thought. I just assumed it was because we moved to the south when Iwas little so I just didn't have time to get used to cold. What I think is the most ridiculous is that mine is only slightly slow. Like, I take the smallest dose of synthroid but I'm amazed at how much havoc it causes at such a slight level. It's crazy. I have no idea how folks like my bff deal. She had her thyroid removed in HS.

Cold I hate the cold too, I remember when I was little and when I'd get out of the tub, I'd freeze while waiting for my mom to come finish getting me ready for bed, so I used to sit on the radiator heater that was never used, one of my brothers though he'd be nice and turn it on so I wouldn't be so cold, yep I sat on it with a damp towel and yep burned my little fanny just want you to know the bactine spray burns like hell on 1st and 2nd degree burns, didn't sit down for a little bit. No didn't feel it until it was too late. Needles to say the next day dad took out the culprit that hurt his baby girl.

come to think about it this was one of many mishaps at the hands of my brothers, broken arm, stitches, numerous bumps and bruises HMMMMM

I'm impressed! That looks really good.

thank you! it looks better than I thought it would, so far


I got the pallets for free, so that was a major part of the decision making process

easier to control when your not trying to work with the body that has a little function. My DD started synthroid at 10 days old yep no typo 10 days.

I just want to say I'm so not going to worry so much about my chickens being cold I went out and checked them and they are toasty, felt their waddles I know they tuck their heads but he was so warm and so was the hens I was the one freezing, I do have my bantys put in a different pen for the winter nights, lots warmer well to me at least. They haven't complained yet so I guess they're good.

My little chick that pipped today hatched! Now, I will try to sneak it under the mama broody. Her other chicks were hatched on the 11th and the 14th and, now today, the 19th!

Flower, good luck to the new chick!

This. This is the reason I hate showering. I do it, but I hate every minute of it when I get out.

I managed to get a good bit done on my next run. Building it out of pallets, going to wrap it all in fencing, go over the top with fencing and cover part of it, maybe all of it and wrap in plastic until spring.




it'll be painted come spring when it's warm enough. Still have to get the fencing, build the gate, the nest boxes and a roost. It's 8' 6" x 20, and I will be able to divide it if I need to. I'm going to put the purebred AMs in here and let the barnyard mixes stay in the other one

That pen is as big as my backyard.

Wish I was joking. HA! I need to move back to the country. You know what would look good in there, this giant English Buff Orpington Rooster I have. Just sayin.
