Fell down on Thursday

I was cleaning the chicken TV area on Thursday and fell over the rake.  Long story short, I pulled the muscle in my butt and the muscles on the inside up and down my right leg.  I spent the remainder of the day with ice packs and laying on my side on the couch as the site on the internet said to do.  Yesterday I was better and could at least move around and today I feel much better.  Today I can put my right leg under the chair I'm sitting in without feeling like there is a softball under my rear as bad as yesterday, so better for sure!

Yesterday while I supervised and ran the drill as I couldn't bend or anything, my dh as in Dear Darling Husband made the front framing for my little coop and stapled the screening to the inside of the window frames and put the windows on for it.  The whole front now opens down for cleaning.   It still needs a roof and wire around the bottom but that will happen today.  So far we have about $60 in it.  All the wood was recycled from the racks and we had to buy the windows, hinges, chicken wire, and 4x4's for the bottom frame.  I'll use left over poly roofing from my old mobile home roof for the roof after covering the roof with elastomeric.  We'll see what the hubby says about that.  I think it would be cute shingled but we don't have any. :)  Needs paint, too, I have a can of yellow and a can of a light purple so it will be those colors.

We went to a place in GV and picked out 3 silkies from a lady whose kids showed them in 4H.  I got a partridge and two buffs.  We are still working on names.  I kept them in my dog pen with chicken wire over the top yesterday and put them in their little coop last night after covering up the hole and putting a tarp over the top as the roof is not on yet.  I think I have the roost to high because they were all piled on the floor when I checked on them after dark.  I read that some don't know how or don't like it.  I honestly don't think they had one in the box on the ground that was in their pen.  They will live much better here and I'll teach them  We will lower the little roost we put in for them and after dark I'll go out and put them on it like I did the others when they were young and go from there.
