Tiny Door Training is over.
Found one chick had gotten past the safety barrier,
so I took it down after closing the main pop door.
Most the other birds were outside and the chicks had a ball bopping all over the big space.
Opened pop door and the other birds came in to see these little invaders, couple hens went after them and proved the chicks knew where the doors were. Another hen schooled the bullies, ha!
Chicks are going in and of the doors with confidence, showing some sense between the bully and nice big birds.

Oooo, new territory!

DL, I'm sorry for you and Peanut. I'm sure she had a wonderful life.
Hugs.

Good afternoon everyone, and thank you for the coffee @DobieLover .

Today is Peanuts day. I've been watching her for months since she never resumed laying after her molt but was visiting the boxes. She has slid past the point of quality of life and my neighbor will shoot her this morning. It's a gift for her.

She was going to be my first but I just don't want that on my mind when DH and I go on vacation in 2 weeks.

Sounds like a good decision. I hope all goes smooth.

Morning and thanks for the coffee.
I am trailering a horse today from the warmer plains back up here. I think this guy may just need a blanket on for the next week or so! We'll just see what the weather does for fun again.

UHG, mowing season!
Going to take my blades to get sharpened today.
I've been sharpening them myself for years, not very well I might add.
Hope he can fix them up.
Nice to take one of the throw to mow tasks off my plate.

I mowed Wed night after dinner, it was time and with rain yesterday, today and tomorrow (and potentially for days after that) it couldn't wait. The grass will be too wet to mow for a long time.

Our older set had been in service like 15 years best guess

Mine are circa 1979 ... when I graduated college and moved to Vermont.

My grands have managed to break quite a few pieces of our Corel. The youngest was scraping her plate in the garbage after eating, with one of her utensils, then she's toss the eating utensil in the garbage too. I've bought cheap replacements to fill the gap, until they move out. Then I'll get a new set of both Corel, and flatware.

Did you get them plastic plates?

Good morning Cafe. Coffee is ready.

Today is Peanuts day. I've been watching her for months since she never resumed laying after her molt but was visiting the boxes. She has slid past the point of quality of life and my neighbor will shoot her this morning. It's a gift for her.

She was going to be my first but I just don't want that on my mind when DH and I go on vacation in 2 weeks.

It will be best for her!
