Good Morning,
Coffee is ready.

Cold and cold over here. I had too many dreams of chickens ..time for me to go out today, see different scenery & talk to people hopefully I will have normal dream again.

I had dream of my chickens eat away my orchard of apple trees - I do not have orchard of apple trees or orchard of anything. Then dream of chicken poops everywhere and where they should not be, I was not happy in my dreams seeing all these destruction by my feather kids.

One of my feather grandkid - Adzuki, she is so rebellious, whenever she is naughty, I hit her tail, she stared at me as if she is saying...how could you? This is my fault as I often spoil her, after all her parents were my first flock chickens.

Have a great day all.

Yearly physical, with fasting/bloodwork. One cup of black coffee was my morning repast. Doc said he thought I was doing a good job of taking care of my health. I told him that this thing (my body) has to last me the rest of my life.

Hey I tell my Doc the same I have stopped drinking soda or anything use to like Gatorade it did not like me.
Drink enhancers sour apple or mojito are the favors preferred.

Good morning Cafè. Coffee is ready.

The Phoebe pair built a second nest on the opposite side of my roof overhang after the first brood hatched. The second brood hatched a while ago. Three chicks. After the heavy thunderstorm we had 4 days ago, I found a wet dead chick on my deck step, right under the nest. It wasn't fully feathered at all. Too young to be leaving the nest.
Mom and Dad kept tending the remaining chicks, or so I thought. Two days later (Monday evening) I found a live second chick in my flower pot on the deck step. I put it back in the nest. I wasn't thinking about the, 'why are these chicks leaving the nest too early?'
When I got home from work yesterday the chick was on the floor mat right in front of the deck stairs. This time I tucked it under a low to the ground shrub, then looked in the nest. From the looks of its level of feathering, the third chick had died the day I found the dead chick on my step.
Later I kept feeling the hairs on my arms move and found the teeniest, tiniest little mites crawling on me. So I think that is what killed the chick and the other two were trying to get out of the nest because they were getting or were already infested. Maybe the parents are infested? I wish I had known that when I had that little fledgling. I would have put a little poultry dust on it before sending it on its way hoping it would give it a better chance. As it is I don't think it will make it.

How do you treat yourself when the mites are on you?

Poor wee little bird.
