Bantambird....Rosabelle's bug eyed babies look great! She must be a good mama!

Ralph, I'm sorry. Hopefully your feeling better soon and can take care of the predator.

Got home after being gone since Thursday. Nothing like a turkey greeting! They stick tight telling me all about how terrible it was with me gone. LOL!
Even all the chickens were laying at my feet.

Indeed she is! Last year, she and Annabelle raised 15 cooperatively.

Tell me about it, I have been really down because of the surgery and sickness. Yesterday I found I was 96 birds down in one pen by predators in last few days..I have not been able to feed them myself so I did not notice is as fast as I would have and my hired help just is in a dream world and has no idea about these things.

Wow! That's a lot of birds! I'm sorry that you lost so many. I hope you feel better soon.

So....Daisy took a dust bath, didn't shake off, then proceeded to stand on the arm of my chair to preen. Gee, thanks bird....

I'm so sorry to hear this This has been a terrible year for you for predators it seems.

I have a very hard time with letting my kids help with the chicken (and TURKEY) chores because they(mostly the oldest) forgets too much and is always trying to "improve" the layout... I let her tag along but I can't trust her to do them alone.
Also, Rosabelle hatched 12 poults this weekend! Probably Friday. Cute Lil buggers.

I could never trust my 12 year old son to take care of the birds for me but my 10 year old daughter helps me every morning and every evening without fail. She knows every detail and the ins and outs of it all. She absolutely loves it.

Rosabelle looks like a fantastic mother!
