Let the girls out this morning....Blossom followed me all the way to the back door talking the whole way. She stood there talking at the closed door.

I have a story finally!!

it’s not a turkey one though.

My early hatch lives in the pen closest to the house. They have become almost Turkey like pets. Tweety lives with these chickens.

I have noticed I aM short one or two white legbars in the morning when I let them out.. it’s easy to tell because there are only 2 white chickens in the bunch.

I locked there door and headed to the turkeys. I happen to look at a side fence rail and I have a white legbar roosting on it kind of behind a tree. It’s amazing I saw her.

I told her “no, you don't!” And went to grab her. She flew faster than I grabbed. She ran towards the now closed gate to her pen.

I ran over to open the gate and a SS rooster ran out to greet me. I guess he thought it was morning.

Neither, the legbar nor SS would go through the gate.. as I was chasing them all the other birds decided they were missing something..so out they all came.

I gave up.. hopefully they will all be inside when I lock up again..

Why do birds refuse to go through a door they pass through 10 times a day when you try to chase them through?



frustrating. I might have to make them harnesses and train them @holm25 style, because it’s working so well on Junior...

So it’s not just my birds?

So it’s not just my birds?

I have my guineas trained, if I holler at them they run into the coop.

No! My poor Blossom has been stuck on the other side of my driveway gate multiple times now. She gets hysterical!!

Coonhound got another squirrel today. Figured out he hides in a bush waiting for opportunity. Looks pretty funny....his big head is all you can see.
