I spent about an hour today re-arranging things for the Mamma hens. I removed the brooder box from Salt's hutch so the chicks can reach food and water. Which was good timing, as I was there to see one of the Silkie eggs hatch as I was replacing the shavings. She's still wet, so we'll hold off taking pictures until tomorrow. So who wants a chick namesake?
Mamma Wendy continues to do well, I moved her and her eggs into a brooder box and filled up her feed bowl. I'm hoping I'm here for the hatch, as I'd hate to hear about it secondhand. I know Lori will take excellent care of the chicks, but still. My chicks!
Fortunately, T.C. (Patrick's teen) came over to hang out and play with the dogs. He helped out by carrying back the three bags of poultry feed from the driveway to the coop. I have to laugh at these kids - they think 50 pounds is heavy and are shocked to hear I do this every week at my advanced age of 39. *snort* At their age (living in Arizona) I used to throw hay around, carry saddles around the stable and yes, carry feed bags. At 120+ degrees. No one used a wagon, you'd have been laughed off the stable for it.
I went to Home Depot this evening and spent way too much money on paint and supplies because Jeremiah is coming tomorrow late afternoon to paint pretty much the front of the house! The ceilings in the living room, kitchen, dining room and foyer. Likely part of the hallway, as well. I cannot wait!
He's also going to paint That Damn Wall, as we are now referring to it. And the foyer and kitchen walls and if there's time permitting, the hallway, too. Should brighten up the front of the entire house. Which means I'll be spending much of tomorrow moving furniture, books and if Kevin can't help me move it, we'll cover what's left.
Brittany is coming over to do the exterior painting (tunnel, ramp, gates, doors, etc.) in exchange for using our WiFi. If there's time, she'll also touch up the exterior paint.
