BYC Café

Thanks for the coffee! Happy road trip, too!
Sam's is currently carrying a regulation Cornhole game so I picked one up and put it up by the picnic area. Good fun! We need to work on the slight slope of the mountain to get it more level, but it is the same for all players.
Enjoy the holiday weekend!

Two weeks from now, DH will be retired! The HR person from the company called me to ask what might be a good retirement gift. She said they'd get "some small things, and we know what kind of beer he likes, and that he's a Steelers fan, but we want to get something nice too." Like a budget of $500-1000 nice.

That's what they think of him. How'd I get so lucky to marry this guy?

In my case I am positive that our meeting was arranged by my guardian angels. Some of us just get lucky.

She was still out and about this morning so maybe that helped get her head cleared of this 'I've gotta have chicks' business.

For now

Betty (2018 Welsummer) went in the buster last night, second time this year. She has gone broody every year. Nyx (5 toed black "Ameraucana") went in too. This is her first time, she is a year old.

BOY is she a nasty broody. She's a bit smaller than average in my flock but she was all wings and beak when I went to take her out of the nest box. I tried to prod her out with a stick about a foot long. Did she hit the stick? Heck no, she went for the hand holding it. I got her out and she pancaked on the floor. I picked her up for her ride to the other coop where Daisy the egg eater lives, usually sleeping on top of the buster cage, and made it unscathed but I think in the future I'll be wearing gloves with Nyx.

I have one marans wanted think it was broody. Now it runs out of the nest when I go in at night. I carry a walking stick.

Widget was broody twice, and I think she'll be ok with me if I let her set. I picked her out of the nest a few times, and she squawked and tried to flap, but did not go for my hands at all. I was wearing gloves, just as a precaution.

Maggie was sleeping in the dining room when I saw the Princess pull into the parking area. I said, "Mom's home." She got up, stretched, started wagging her tail and went to the living room and looked out the window to see 'Mom'. Did she really understand what I said?
