Samara does that! I could have sworn she was broody buttcheeks these past few days but then later on she's out rummaging around with the rest and doesn't go back to the nests.

I had TWO ticks on me today, bluck. Dad and I were talking about guineas, and we couldn't figure out how we'd keep them on our properties. I did read this funny article on them though. https://chickenscratchny.com/guinea-fowl/

Went to check the chickens, Samara had all six eggs plus a ceramic under her magnificent floof. She is bigger than her sister Morinth so I guess I'm not surprised. I'm sure Morinth would have tried to incubate that many too haha.

Welp, whatever is going on is asymmetrical. I'm leaning towards she's been plucked on one side and maybe fat jiggly. Unfortunately a whole lot of health issues are happening with the family so I haven't gotten to go out and sit with my ladies. Maybe Sunday...that would be a nice mothers day...

Michigan. Looks like swap meets and commercial sales are banned, not small scale. I still hauled the trilling cotton ball off the nest

It is illegal as of today to buy poultry for the next 30 days...Samara is thinking of going broody.

He just informed me his trike is not a fat tad, but an ez-tad. The tires are wide on a fat tad. I uh...nope not sure. The electric is an assist motor because he has some knee problems. "Mumther, I see you have a new shiny phone. Mayhaps perchance I can take a peck at it? Hmmmmm?"

My husband showed me this...fat tad electric recumbent trike with shocks and a massive storage box hooked onto it. He's apparently going to be a bike collector since he has his recumbend fat tad AND an e-bike. I...just have a trike. It is blue. 😆 Chicken tax. I was trying to get a pic of...
