  I wonder where Yuma's orbit might be?

It must have been consumed by a solar flare.

Miss Amelia, my Easter Egger, laid this today! It weighed 70 grams. Her "normal" size eggs weigh 44 grams for now.

She must be trying to mimic the plastic egg in the nest!


2 days worth of eggs.

That is the weirdest looking egg I've ever seen. It came out that way with the line and everything? Strange coloring, too. You sure you didn't come up with a Space Chicken?

You nailed it with the projects - looking into buying the house behind us at an auction - never did anything like that before though - kinda scary.

Going to take the kids to a welding contest in Yuma in October - an overnighter - never did an overnighter with HS kids before - way scary!
We also have to bring our own tools & equipment to weld outside - gotta fab EVERYTHING before the contest - it's going to be nuts!

I have a single female rescued quail. I keep her in my cage with my chickens. They all get along. She is very lonely for love...LOL She calls for a mate in the morning and dusk and she can be very loud about it! She drops down low and freezes when I pet her. I have a square board leaned up against the cage that creates a small triangle shaped space only she can get into. That is where she lays her eggs. She loves to sit on her eggs all day. She took my new chicks under her wing and slept with them when they were a few weeks old up on a log. She always slept on the ground before that time. Now she sleeps up high, not next to the chickens unless it storms and then I move her in the coop along with the others. The chickens all sleep on top of the coop in my cage. No one actually goes inside my coop yet or sleeps inside of it unless I move them in there after it is dark because of rain...LOL She also loves dried worms. She begs and follows me around the cage for them when she sees the bag, it is so cute. That is the only time where she doesn't respect the chicken hierarchy, she can be a bully trying to get those worms! It is every bird for themselves! I have a picture in my profile of her under albums.

I copied it from a facebook post

There was a comment that you cannot see Yuma between the sun and Tempe because the sun is so bright

This morning we put up a few of our cats... We let our 5 1/2 week old
Chicks out to enjoy the front yard.. They found a ants nest with rollie
pollies.. I think they were just going for the ant larva, then it seemed they
were eating the tiny ants.. I could not believe they were eating the ants..
They have no mom hen to tell them not to.. They also run down the moths
& flies.. Protein, protein,protein..

Do you think they will eat spiders?
