Anyone have luck catching a feral chicken?? UPDATE: Rooster caught, no hen

Well, I can't remember who had the hot apple sauce, but I'm jealous. I may have to go back to Virginia to find apples. No one around here seems to have them. I need to make apple sauce and juice for the baby.

Kiki, is it voting time again? I can never keep track of that.

Building... It is a never ending task. Nothing is ever finished.

Today, my 8 week old hens get to move to the upper pasture, they'll spend 3 days in the duck house (since the ducks moved into the chicken house) and then get to find their place in the pecking order and decide what house they want to spend the night in.

Good morning, rjohns! Looks like we're the first ones up <raising coffee in virtual toast>

Ok my friends....I think my D'uccle is egg bound. She has been standing in her nest box on and off all morning and when I had them out to free range this morning she wasn't herself. She was standing around a lot. She is usually very busy. She is approximately 1 year old. She has been laying about 5 days a week but has slowed up recently. I'm assuming due to shorter days. Her comb is nice and red and she is eating.

How is she this morning?

Well Chicken Peeps I need some good mojo. Thoughts and prayers to the chicken gods. I don't know what else. Anything you want to send my way through the universe.

I have to move. Need to find a place for me, 2 dogs, 2 cats, and 15 chickens. A rather daunting task.
.

Can I help in any way...I can score the internet and make phone calls looking for a place for you.

Been there, all the good vibes I know how to send, sent express.

I'm back to getting caught up now.
Get those girls some grower feed and stop giving them CORN!

Been up almost a hour. I went to let the peeps out of the coops. I opened the door to check on them and this noise happened. It startled me. It startled Sesame. Then I realized someone was trying to crow. I tried my best to get it on video, but couldn’t. It was the white cochin. He is flexing his man muscle (not really) this morning and letting everyone know there is a prepubescent teen in da house.

All the work I did remodeling the coop is a complete nightmare. The roosts are too high, no one will use the ramps. I cannot reach around in there. I also realized after I started building the run, I forgot to angle the corners, but it is too late to start over. I am feeling a little defeated this morning, but whatever!!! And I am all swollen and puffy from eating Mexican last night. And my friend sent me pics from her wedding and I look like a big cow standing beside her. It doesn’t help my looks that she probably wears junior clothes, is tan, a personal trainer and 5’. I love food. What can I say?

I'm up too.
Reading to catch up.
Yesterday we took the dog to Kure Beach for a walk. He's old and has arthritis in his hips but it's still his favorite thing to do.
I let him set the pace.
We stop often.
DH came with us yesterday he couldn't get over the number of people who flagged us down. He's pretty irresistible.
yesterday we drove to the end of the island of Carolina beach. It was a gorgeous day.
He is so stiff this morning.

I'm pretty stiff too!
