Good morning, Café.
Thanks for the fresh pot IM. It sounds like you've got a busy day ahead of you.
Barb's littles are practicing perching. She and all 3 of them had flown up to this perch and they were too cute! And me without my phone. This one was all that was left when I dashed back with it.

Mom is having a difficult time pulling off a convincing turkey impersonation with only two tail feathers. They are all starting their molts. She also has too many legs to be a good turkey doppelganger.

Good morning! Thanks for the coffee. It is cloudy with rain coming in again. We had a good rain last night as well. DH is waiting for coyotes with rubber buckshot but I think they know he is out there. He is having fun so I guess it is fine. The chickens have definitely changed up their routine
and my roo is healing up fine from his cut but the tail feathers will be something later. Good thing he is getting ready to molt. When the coyote dropped the hen with DH and the rooster running after him, DH picked up the hen and brought it to the back porch and the rooster tracked her down and walked around her body a couple of times before heading back to the coop area. I thought that was interesting. I am not sure that I have had a roo do that before but then again, that was a new experience for this flock.
Enjoy the day! Stay cool or dry or whatever.

That's pretty interesting behavior from your rooster. Was the lost hen one of his favorites?

Just thought of this. I know this is kind of random but I just saw a pic of a cat with huge ears and thought it kinda looked like a fennec fox and then when I was looking at pictures of the foxes I thought well wait a second.... @igorsMistress Bat Dog kinda looks like a fox too.

See the resemblance?

My son rescued this pup from the neighbor. He's been outside in the heat, no food or water, left to sleep under the trailer and no one has been home for days. There are shut off notices for the electricity and past due tax bills from the county. Poor little guy. They named him Finley.

I know.
She's takes them all over the pen now. I keep changing my mind on their possible genders as they develop.

Awesome! He can also Google fennec fox. I saved those from Google Images

The resemblance really is uncanny.

Mornin', y'all.

We got rumbled at much of yesterday afternoon, but the weather makers all stayed to the north of us. Though we could use more rain, I was actually relieved; especially after seeing this in the news this morning:
