BYC Café

Good morning Café. Thanks for the coffee Shad.
I've tried going in low and slow. It doesn't work with this one. She's a true horror. And she means to remove chunks of me.

Good morning, Cafe', and thanks Shad.

don't usually have problems with the sitting hens until after they've left the nest. I carefully slide my hand under the front of the hen keeping the hand low at all times, and gently lift here a couple of inches, enough to check the number of broken shells.

Same here. I 'make friends' with them from the get go so I can check.
Even worked with a skin twister.

Mornin', y'all!

Thanks for the coffee, Shad, it's very much needed this morning.

My dad wants to meet me somewhere today. My brother has been watching over him like a hen with one chick; this could get really interesting.

Good evening Cafe.
I've made a jug of hot chocolate if anyone is interested.
I'm slowly drying out. Had a couple of storms here today and of course they always hit max performance level at chicken bed time.
Seems to be the pattern here. Hot mornings and mid afternoon the storms roll in. It does make getting some sleep a lot easier as aart mentions earlier. It's a lot more comfortable at 22C than it is at 28C.

Thanks for the Hot Chocolate!

Their mother moved them under my mom's deck 4 days ago. I started feeding them 2 days ago. Mom disappeared this morning.

That would be Mom's new deck? Doesn't that cat know you don't have time to foster her babies?

I tried. I even gave her raisins daily. She'd gladly take them then a chunk of my arm.

Yes. Mom's 'new' deck. That board is off because I was examining the joists to make sure they were still structurally sound before buying the new deck boards.
She's back.
