@TOMTE ~ as for trees you're smart about removing taller ones near the playhouse & plant a couple smaller varieties for summer playhouse shade that don't grow excessively tall over the years. Tall varieties are top heavy so if the roots rot or soil gets soggy tall trees will topple. I don't know about tree varieties in your part of the country but for ourselves we picked dwarf trees & still they are bigger than I like.

I took all the mirrors out of my house, because my doctor said I should remove all the stress from my life that I can!

Keep at least one mirror for the birds. They love admiring themselves

I also need to figure out my digestive issues... Ugh. I had one scan done last year(?) where they injected me with something so they could see how my liver, pancreas, etc were working. Had to lay still for I think 2 hours but it was kind of cool watching my guts do their thing on the monitor Everything looked normal there so on to the next tests. Eventually. Have to wait for my insurance to re-up since my renewal form got lost in the mail

So basically, I feel ya. It's no fun not knowing why your body can't handle food. I really hope you get answers

Magrat is being picked on. She had a bloody comb (and head) yesterday evening and they're still going at it today. I'll have to spend some time in the cold today pinching necks until they get it— LEAVE HER ALONE!

Once they see/smell blood they don't usually stop. Isolation till she's healed is your best option. Injuries/illness is why we have a dog crate fence in the house.

Mag, there’s plenty of room for you in California. I only let the prettiest of chooks live on my ranch. Four miles away from George Lucas property. We share the same airport

Isn't he too old to pilot a plane?

If not decayed use the teeter totter wood all or in part for perches, nestboxes, etc. Will the playhouse stay where it is or do you visualize it closer to the house? That is a beautiful playhouse!!! I hope it has good bones thruout

It'll stay right where it is, no way to move it without taking it apart.

I did have luck with keeping them from picking at Gytha's comb once when it bled. Spent an hour or so disciplining anyone who even looked at her comb for longer than a second.

Just an hour ago I watched them before bed and they were leaving Magrat alone, earlier I had to peck a few heads and grab a neck or 2. Since there's no way to isolate her yet I just have to be observant. We probably have some blue food coloring if it comes to that.
