BYC Café

Weather has been warm, if not a bit humid here today. Washed all the bedding and hung it out on the line, I so miss that during winter. Then I worked on another of my aunt's gardens. Almost finished. I did have to take a break every hour though. It appears that a nice little bird decided to use the nest on the light above the back garage door. This is where we let the dogs out and the patio is located. It's kind of a busy spot. We could see Momma from the deck door, and had to keep the curtains pulled, because every time we walked by, off she would go. I was worried nothing was going to hatch. Well, it appears that the baby hatched yesterday. He's a pitiful, scraggly looking thing! Mom and Dad are taking turns bringing him food, and he is pretty vocal when they don't feed him fast enough. So, I spend my time just watching from the deck door... I will never get anything done once I have chickens.

The. Struggle. Is. Real.

This morning I fixed up my birds' breakfast before doing my own. They have me trained well.

that"s true,  but, did you really want to do house work and garden chores? Or would you rather   watch chick TV &  the tiny bird hatchling?

The tiny bird is infinitely more entertaining than say...washing dishes! There are actually four or five nests around the yard, the house has been empty for the last five years, so I'm sure the birds are not used to all of the activity this year.

"Coffee" the quicker picker upper. Guys have you read about the positive effects of drinking 2 or 3 cups of coffee daily?

Oh dear! It appears that two more babies have hatched! And I don't go back to work until Wednesday. Guess I know what I'll be doing...

My BO broody has hatched at least 2 babies as well today. I saw one and heard another. Psycho Broody would like to sit another clutch. Hummmm, just don't know how many chickens I really need here. Coffee..., I think I will mosey on down to my neighbor's place for a cup because it is getting ready to rain and what else it there to do when it rains except drink coffee? Fish stocking went well, no wrecks and actually this year, I didn't have to touch a net because we had two new people show up that wanted to help and they had never done something like that, sooooo, I supervised quietly and we all chatted in the middle of the road and had a great time.
Rough week.....
