My Idea of a real chicken coop.

That is just too many chickens and plans on doubling their #s ! That's when it changes from a fun hobby to hard work . You would never be able to name them or make pets. I much rather have your set up.

Well, I’m definitely depressed so there’s that…

I feel for you. The motivation drains out of you.. .

It only takes removing the two screw out that is holding the assembly to the wall. This is the type of box that the main laying coops have.

Well, that is fancy indeed. Mine are just wooden nesting boxes built into the side of the coop. I'll have to find a picture. I'm sure we have one, since DH built my coop. This was the last of 4 coops he built. We live and learn.

Yes. A real big coop!!! Thought mine was big at 8x10, with a 10x12 outdoor enclosure!!! I don't think I want the amount of chickens he is building for.

I know. Tuesday I felt like cause of a migraine which I took the med for but I took it late in the day. So I couldn’t call cause I was extremely sick. Then Wednesday I also had a migraine but I took the med early in the day so I felt better/fine and could have called but I didn’t really feel like it/put it off then yesterday they closed at noon and my nurse was here in the morning and then I got to the club around 10 or shortly before or after, forget exactly, so I barely had time to call but it still would have been enough time to. I purposely put it off until they were closed though. So yeah. I’m an idiot, I know. I just… HATE making phone calls for one and for two I’m extremely nervous because I doubt they take my insurance. But I guess all I can do is ASK. LOL I will call first thing Tuesday.

This week was rough for Betty. I'm assuming the weather made her condition worse.

She will get gabapentin until the aspirin I've been giving her is out of her system, then she can have Dermax, anti inflammatory. Hopefully the weather will be in her favor by then.
The vet thinks it's the beginning of hip dysplasia. Because her hind legs are stiff and didn't flex right, also what she saw on the X-rays and because Betty attempts to hide and shivers. She doesn't eat or sleep when she is in pain. She has to use the pee pads in the house till the weather cooperates.
She has loose knee caps as well which the vet believes is coming from her legs being stiff from her hip condition.

When she feels good, she is the alpha and picks the fights! She gets the first food, best bones and chases away any presumed intruders. Butchy Boy follows her lead

So sad to watch our beloved babies age. I'm so sorry.

I’ve been going outside a lot walking the dog and playing with him and walking to the store next door to the club etc. etc.

But is there any sunshine out there? Have you considered a UV light?
