So I finally got around to trying grape jelly in the bird feeder that I read about here & oh what a difference! The birds don’t even mind when it turns to soup with the rain. Here are a few I’ve managed to snap…please excuse my grainy pics…

It’s been raining all day here, fluctuating between steady & heavy. Pretty sure I can see my grass growing right before my eyes. Stick picking is a never ending job around here.
What a cutie! Will you be keeping her?
I miss having a kitty around. I’m not actively in the market for one, but if one showed up I wouldn’t turn it away. For now, it’s just my chicken herding Toy Aussie & 17 chickens.
I just have to say that I’m continually in awe at how tidy you keep your hen houses…not a speck of dust anywhere. Very nice woodwork on your birdbath too!

Now that is a true Funky Chicken! How fun! My Pretty Boy has yet to crow…almost 24 weeks. I need to get some new pics, like Jude, he’s quite handsome.
It finally feels like fall around here. (Yay for weekly grass mowing to be done for the year!) I do believe I’ll be moving the porch plants...
I believe them to be. I have 14 gals left from that batch. I’m getting 1-8 eggs a day, 5 average. My EEs are still going strong, strongest I’d say, which surprises me.
My neighbor has year old CQs. Hers seem fine. Not as large though.
I have 3 Cinnamon Queens left of the 6 I got mid-2018. They were the first to lay (right at 20 weeks) & are prolific layers. They are not that friendly (peckers) to the other girls (especially lower ranked) & they don’t want much to do with me. The hens lost were 2-3 years old from what appeared...
