Y'all I'm chiming in and will do some catch up amid distractions, but wanted to say hellur... btw our little bandit kitten died. He couldn't maintain a body temp and would barely eat and drink. It was a failure to thrive sort of thing, his bet thinks may have been caused by a viral complex of some kind. He wasn't tested so not sure which.

I'm so sry to hear about the kitty

Yes, they are. My little one took it very hard at first. Which is why we now have two new kittens. I'm such a sucker.

O MY you are nuts!

It's been a busy day today. Between checking in here off and on throughout the day we've been outside trying to finish up the new coop. Just need to do the nesting box, roosting bar and poop board, ramp and just touch up painting. Had the ducks outside again today. The chicks all come over to check them out thru the fencing and eventually lay in the shade next to the ducks. I am hoping that is a good sign and not just because it was hot and there was a shady spot lol. One of my chicks makes this awful noise. I swear she is a most complaining pullet. It's not a bawk bawk. It's a screechy type noise. Kinda sounds like scraaaaaaaaaw-scraw-scraw-scraw-scraw-scraw. It's long and drawn out lol. I tell her she fusses too much. I think they're getting pretty close to POL. I finally opened the nesting boxes tonight when I cleaned out their coop. I've had them blocked off because they liked to try to sleep in them at first. And I put in a couple of those fake ceramic eggs. I think I still have a couple/ few weeks yet (they're 17 weeks old) but they are getting close. We'll see what happens.
As for the quails.... I guessed they'd hatch Sunday morning. Looking promising.

See if you can catch her fussing on video tomorrow.

My mom had this problem. Her name is Nidia, it's pronounced knee-d-ah but she gets everything else, Nadia etc. She used to work for Marshall's and they misspelled her name at her going away party to Lydia. She had been working for them for seven years!

Oh goodness! My mom’s name is Leta, Lee-tuh, but she gets Let-uh all the time. Or Linda somehow.

I know!

Do they have names yet?
