Daughter just had her 2nd surgery in a little over a month. 1st was a cholecystectomy. Ended up showing it was partially nectoetized. Scary. 2nd surgery was scheduled. Spinal surgery for tethered cord. This should alleviate many if here strength and pain issues. Sad it took us close to 8yrs to get this diagnosed. 1st day post surgery she had to remain prone. Yesterday was 1st day to attempt to sit up. Was rough. Went dizzy, lost vision and hearing and had to lie back down. Also got a spinal induced migraine. See what today brings. Optimistic she’ll be able to come home tomorrow or Monday depending on how physical therapy session show her progressing back to some level of basic activities. 

Man that is rough. Special prayers for her and you.

Are these spur or beak wounds?  I'm glad my city has a no-rooster rule, they intimidate me.

My surviving hen from flock 1 is defensive of the 1.5 year old flock 2 hens.  I picked one up when she was stubborn about coming in at dusk and when I went to set her down in the run, the old hen delivered a direct peck (more of a bite, actually) to the back of my hand. 

 

This is now the chicken thread plz rename and pin @dendrite.

Spur at full speed

I still have a scar from a rooster attack in May of 2024.  Was taking some veggie scraps to the grandkids' flock in SNJ, all the hens came as a swarm and "Houdini" (kids name all the birds, of course) wasn't tolerating competition for ruling the hens.  Its 2nd attack was repelled when I (carefully) flipped the rooster onto its back, after which it scooted next to the pen and crowed a dozen times - "I won! I won!"  Then I noticed the blood running into my shoe.

Mine got me. Scar remains. Old Ginger is a beast. Sardines? @dendrite

Holy bejesus. I let the chickens out to free range around 7 and within a few minutes the mama bear walked out into the neighbor’s yard. Of course I had a chicken near the property line. I made as much noise as I could without approaching and it ran back into the woods. Not a fun night corralling birds for 90 minutes. I set up a new Wyze cam a bit ago and aimed it on the coop.

Feeders are in. 

Bears Foxes Bobcats all seen in my hood again this spring, not to mention all the hawks. Extreme numbers of squirrels, chipmunks around.

Chicken free range cancel

@dendrite Those effing Noseeums (midges I guess) were brutel by Sanibel. I got mauled one evening and did not realize it until after midnight when the itch made me want to burn the skin off my legs. I probably had 60-70+ bites on my legs and right arm. Worst than mosquitoes. At least with mosquitoes you can see them. 

Sand fleas 

.26 rain and fucking cold. This sucks.

complete dog shit take you had. That’s not a pattern change; it’s a blip in the persistence. Signal vs noise.

 

Can’t wait for the April re-analysis for NNE. + AN at or above March levels. As MOST of us thought.

 

No one was referring to NNE. Complete pattern change Mr NNE (actually (CNE) coastal boy

Ginx has been conveniently missing from the weather disco while a chunk of NNE puts in its best string of weather days in early spring in years…

Guess he passed away with those weeklies. 

Busy doing man things to dead trees with chainsaws. Kiss the ring. Knowing what the difference is between showing what computer outputs show and a forecast is hard for a layman like you. 

EPS is very chilly. Maybe 1 day of of warmth. 50s next 10 days Euro agree GFS not much better All told i probably squeeze out a couple nice days but temps will struggle with destructive sunshine. Huge pattern change
