BYC Café

I wanted to spend some time with the flock today to make sure everyone was okay.
Poor Truvi is half the chicken she was when I left. She's in a porcurpine hard molt the way Kylie did hers. Annie, Fabio, Truvi and Kylie are all tail-less.
I hung out briefly while the flock was settling in on the roosts. They are HORRIBLE to each other! But I think most of the screaming is just that. The pecking isn't that bad but man, it's brutal. When I went back out to do head count and lock up, all 5 chicks were lined up on the spot their mother normally roosts. She was on the opposite side and kept leaving them when they tried to pile in next to her.
I'm now 95% sure I've got the 4:1 split pullets to cockerel.

Much older than @DobieLover .

Thinking about it, I might even have to switch to The Old Folks Home

But then I would have missed all of you and these wonderful vacation pictures.

Good morning Cafe. Coffee is ready.
The fog is THICK out there this morning. I'm waiting to let the flock out until most of it burns off.

Who says you can't read both?

We have a big change coming in the weather. Big cool down, and rain. The kind of days where you want to stay inside and read, and drink coffee or tea. Or take a nap.

We'll probably have a fire in the woodstove before the week's out.

Me too!

Yeah, I don't like the dust from the wood stove, but I hate the idea of the gas bill going up even more.

It'll be fun to see Freya's reaction to the warmth right by her bed in front of the stove... I bet she'll love it. All of our dogs have loved that spot.
