I love the hooting! They're such beautiful things and I'm so happy it visits. Going to have to keep an eye on the chickens near dusk though. It's here again this morning, just flew down to the roof of the garden from the neighbors satellite dish as the quail begin their day.

We have a pair hunting together. One bigger than the other.

This is my sky at around 645 am before the downpour

I also noticed their instinct today
Yesterday with only light rain they stayed outside
Today when it started sprinkling they ran for cover in the mansion right before the down pour

Yes, I can see in the pic that there are two of them. I guess you won't be free-ranging anymore until they go away?

Welcome back!

Yes I got them all out for a few hours. The sun was out and weather was beautiful. But today is another story. Rain all day so far. Roosters are crowing.

I ate the two eggs I got from hazel so far and they looked fertile to me with the bullseyes. Wonder what chicks would look like between Norman and hazel?

@igorsMistress Wonder is they are a mating pair? Now I'm curious and see if they would be pairing up now - we always think spring but maybe not. While it is cool, its not really cool either. We have an owl periodically around as it has flown through my trees but trees are pretty much in the way for swooping. We also have a mating pair of golden eagles close by. Are your chickens alarming?

The chicks might look like some sort of frizzle or sizzle, maybe? You could try to hatch a couple just to see?

@meetthebubus the coop is doing great! Chicks are hunkered down - not as active as usual, but I just feel like hunkering down in this weather, too, so I don't blame them!
