The Chicken Chiefs

The Chicken Chiefs I am a chicken keeper, but I tell stories of every day things that happen in our lives.

Everything is fine. I’m just taking a break at least for today. ~Eva~

Here’s a picture of chickens doing what they love to do. Cleaning up a few peanuts. Or at least my chickens love doing it. Although in this picture they had already cleaned them up and were doing a little foraging before time to go to roost.

Our day was pretty mundane. However, Chief and I together Swept and mopped our bedroom getting under the bed real good. We also dusted the furniture. That’s a good feeling to have a clean floor. Pretty boring stuff. Ha!

We did other things but too boring to write about. (Yawn)

Talk later!

I asked this lil gal, Lucy, to come in and say goodnight. She’s just a little sweetheart. No, she doesn’t come for snuggles, but when I’m outside, she’s always nearby. She chortles ever so softly. Not really a laugh but the word that comes to my sleepy mind is chortle. She’s one of Annie’s chicks that hatched in July. She’s the only one with no beard. One of the pullets has a beard, but being a red beard it blends in with her feather color. The other pullet has a black beard like the rooster I showed in my last post.
You may not see this til Thursday morning. If that’s the case, then let this be your “Good morning salutation.”

Much love from the big State of Texas.

This little roo that has become Woody, is just a cute as can be. He’s good size, but he’s kinda standing in hole so it makes him look like more like his father but with a black beard. Isn’t that cute? I think it is.

I thought I’d tell you what my day was like. Nothing at all exciting or that depends. (You can judge for yourself.) You see I had a Dr appointment, and I do not like Dr. appointments. I’ve been having pain in my lower left back. This story will likely end up being long, either go to another post or keep reading. Your choice. I had talked to Chief’s Dr about the pain in my back. He simply said it was more than likely the S nerve. He recommended PT. I said, “no, I’m not doing that.” And he agreed that decision was up to me. When I got home that day a month or so ago, I tried my best to figure out what the S nerve was. I assumed it was sciatic pain. And that’s what I told you all here in a post. This pain is no fun, but it does not go down my leg like sciatica. So I complained and grumbled til Chief said, “make an appointment with the Dr that you usually see.” I made that appointment and today was the day. I have scoliosis and have had it all my life. Just want to throw that in there. My Dr asked many questions. I told him Chief’s Dr had said it was an S nerve. But I told him what I thought the S nerve was because I didn’t really have it explained to me. He told me immediately that there are S nerves. They control some of the discs in your back. He explained it in great detail. Then he did a simple exam. As I sat down he said he was almost positive it is my sacroiliac. I said “you’re kidding right?” He said “no”. And explained to me what the sacroiliac is. I may not remember exactly because to be quite honest I remembered my dad using the term this way “I hurt from my sacroiliac to my epizootic.” 😆 Before I even got out what my dad used to say, my Dr said that quote. We both had a big ol’ guffaw right there in that little examination room that has had the same chairs and tables for 46 years, but he’s only been seeing me 40 of that time. Anyway- the sacroiliac is a muscle in the lumbar that is probably causing me pain because of my scoliosis wear and tear. I had already started taking Turmeric before my appointment today. And I believe it has definitely helped. He also is going to give me a prescription of Naproxen and a mild muscle relaxer. He said he thinks using those 3 things, I should be a lot better in 2-3 weeks.
Yes, I learned that humans have a sacroiliac, but we don’t have an epizootic. Epizootic is a disease in animals according to Google. So sometimes Dr visits can be funny. I’m glad I have a Dr that has a sense of humor. That’s all I got for now.

Talk later.

I could see the northern lights ever so faintly. But I took this picture and they are definitely there. So cool. Have you seen them from where you live? Nestled in amongst the pine trees is my coop and the Northern lights. Now that’s something to crow about. 😉

Goodnight y’all!

Not much going on today. Just very windy, and cool. It got up to 68°. If it hadn’t been so windy, it really wouldn’t have felt cool. We got 6 eggs, which is good because my March pullets are laying. That’s what I had expected. I have Annie’s chicks that will lay soon. (I think). They came along in July. It really wouldn’t matter, but I have at least 4 people that ask for eggs on a weekly basis. I hate to always tell them no. I’ve been asking $3.50 for my eggs for months. One guy always insisted on giving us $3.00 per dozen. We took the money and rolled eith it. But Chief finally told him we got $3.50 for our eggs. He hasn’t asked for any since then. I’m not even going to tell you what he said. It wasn’t bad but actually quite a silly thing to say and do. 😉
All is well here. I hope it is for you as well.

Happy Tuesday Evening.

Talk later!

Pictured here is an Hen on a basket. This is marked Westmoreland, but it was probably made for Rosso or Summit. I’d like $45.00 for it as well. That includes shipping to anywhere in the lower 48 states. No issues found.
I take PayPal.
This is hard to capture its real beauty.

Happy Monday Evening.

I am working on downsizing my Animal Covered Dishes. I am asking $45 each for these lambs. That includes shipping to anywhere in the lower 48 states. I do not find any issues with either one of these. I accept PayPal. But I will consider a personal check. If this isn’t something you are interested in, I ask that you kindly scroll on by. I’ve considered starting another page just for selling these items, but I don’t want the headache of getting enough followers to keep my posts visible. Since this page is established, I have made the decision to list them here.
PINK IS SOLD
Pink is marked Degenhart, but the blue is not marked. I’m almost 100% sure it was made by Degenhart before they added their logo.

Thanks for looking.

We had fun with these great grandsons this weekend. I love these boys to the stars and beyond. So many things I could tell you, but I’ll pick out 2 things. Hollis was watching the chickens from the safety of inside the house. I thought he was genuinely interested in them, which he was from within the house. But I grabbed a handful of peanuts and my plan was to just open the door slightly to toss the peanuts out. I dropped 2 peanuts on the floor within the house, and my Barred Rock girl, Liesel, is pretty pushy. She marched herself right inside to pick up those 2 peanuts I had dropped, and Hollis cried- about 5 seconds. I felt so bad. But otherwise he’s the happiest baby I’ve ever been around.
Flint’s story is well you’ll have to read on to see what it is. Penny, Flint, Hollis and I were outside after dark swinging. Flint let his imagination get carried away. He asked, “what would you do if there was a tiger come into the yard?” I said, he would need to just stare it down, and it would eventually move on. But he said, “no, I’d run to the house and tell Papa to get his gun and come out and shoot the tiger.” Then he said “but by that time you both would have passed away.” No, he didn’t say the tiger would eat us or anything like that- just that Penny and I would pass away. 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ Of course we laughed but Penny said “Flint, there would never be a tiger come into this yard.” To which Flint replied “no, maybe not a tiger, but possibly a bobcat, and y’all would still be scared.”
Just a couple snippets into our life this weekend.

Happy Sunday afternoon!

I might get in trouble for posting here. If I do I’ll delete. Abi and her hubby, Sterling with their 2 beautiful boys. (Check out Sterling’s hair. Wow.) And then Flint got in on a smash cake with Hollis, and I thought this picture was so cute of him. And then of course Hollis grabs at everybody’s heartstrings.

Anyway have a good day. Busy day for me.
