The pink daisies are actually a variety of mum. They are having their way with my flower garden in the fall.

And no I have not hit order yet but I am VERY CLOSE.

Thinking Black Swedish and Golden 300 Hybrid Layer females and Welsh Harlequin male and female from Metzer Farms. But then my family is kind of iffy/weird about eating fertilized eggs lol also females are really loud, right? So then I was kinda thinking a pair of males, Black Swedish and Welsh Harlequin. But then I kinda wanna try duck eggs cause I keep hearing how delicious they are. So idk. Lol

Or just no ducks. No. Nope. Cannot. Am def adding more chickens. Cannot add chickens AND ducks. No. But then again.... webbies. Cute. Adorable. Love water. Hilarious and fun to watch swim/dive in water and have fun unlike my mini velociraptors who just run around squawking and clucking and dust bathing and stealing food.

You are so funny! I feel ya tho because I WANT so much but then reality tells me, "uh, that's not realistic nor responsible" and I go... Adulting sucks sometimes

STREEETTTTTT!!!!

They are letting you get closer now?

Somewhat. I was in their pen that they won’t go in anymore but they knew there was kibble coming.

LOL thanks!! And ugh yes!! Exactly my situation with the Golden Retriever litter being born in 2 weeks

Do you have an incubator?

No not yet so I guess that’s probably not a good idea but I could get one

I don't know that I've ever had a chicken that "likes" to be held. Tolerate, yes. I don't personally look for that in a bird because I free range, exclusively. Birds that like to be held are like fish in a barrel around here. Sweet, but they just don't last.
My Bantam Cochin group stick closer to the house than my standards, so they've avoided the hawk attacks for the most part.

Jace LOVES being held in winter. If I sit down, she burrows right into my lap and won't get up unless I move her.

In summer, I'm just chopped liver. I suppose it's good, because she's also smart enough to avoid the hawks.

Well, Annabelle survived the night. She was the last one to come out of the coop and she ended up laying her egg on their "covered porch" area where their food and water is at, instead of inside of inside. So we had a chilly egg this morn but at least it was easy to get to.

My Priscilla will be like that. She loves to snuggle down in my lap or crook of my arm. She is the cuddliest thing when she wants to be.

They probably want to be warm and in the summer there is too much good stuff to eat lol silly things

FRANKLIN’s DNA RESULTS ARE IN!!! FRANKLIN’S DNA RESULTS ARE IN!!! FRANKLIN’S DNA RESULTS ARE IN!!!!

FSIL texted me at like 7, though I didn’t wake up till around 10 to 10, and said it, but said she will wait LOL we are all getting brunch at 11 so I think they will reveal it then. I was saying thanks and it must be impossible and she said DB already tried to sneak a look and she chased him away and he was unsuccessful I can see how it must be impossible, they are like their kids, and he LOVES Franklin lol though he loves them both.
