Sorry about your cat! I hope he turns up.

My cat Jasper is an inside cat that got out one night. I did not know he was out and I scared him in the morning. He ran full speed into the chicken wire and crashed through(he weighs more than 20 pounds). He then disappeared until the next day when I found him wedges between a shed and the wall of the house. I had to take a fence apart to get him out.

He wound up with an infected puncture wound which ended with a vet visit and penicillin shot. Some cats should not go outside. Jasper is fine now.

There is a question on the Heritage Large Fowl thread about Cheryl Cohen's Silver Pencil Rocks. Who has them now?

Deb, what line do you have?

I have four of her SPPR roos and several pullets. I've finally narrowed down which roo that we are going to keep so will be putting him with the hens in a hoop coop as soon as the juvies have grown big enough to move out of one of them. I do have 3 more roos if anyone needs one. Otherwise, they are slated for the dinner table.

thanks everyone. Up here animals out at night dont always stand the best chance. luckily being a cat he has good vision and hearing. I have my windows all open at night just in case I hear something or something going after him ( I am prepared for that too

)

It was a quitter, around day 24-25

I feel most sad for the owner, he was so excited, it would have been his first chick.

Hopefully he comes back soon.. Funny but usually the older my cats got the less they ever wanted to try to escape. I had only house cats too. Too many cars, dogs, etc. outside the house.

He is very pretty.

The things we do for our pets.


Sorry about the macaw egg Deb. I was looking forward to seeing that and watching how it progressed.

Today was Brooder cleaning day. The 5 week old Basque and two Pita Pintas enjoyed some yard time.



They look very small compared to the 5 month old White Bresse Pullet in the grow out chicken tractor:

they look so vigorous, Ron!

i've managed to get a few pictures of Amelia #2 and her new hatchlings -- will definitely have to get some better ones, but here's what i've got for now -- they're in a not-easy-to-reach-with-a-camera nestbox. the eggs came from some combination of a cream legbar, two basques, one SPPR, and one australorp, all fertilized by Max the SFH -- not sure who is who yet, although one (probably one of the CL/SFH crosses) has a GIANT white dot on it's head -- probably a boy!


Amelia #2 and FOUR chicks, there might still be another resting underneath her? two definitely did not make it through hatching, i've removed those, and there were 8 eggs originally.


judging by the empty eggshells, one of the hatchlings is definitely a Daisy Jr. (yay!!!), and it might be this one, i remember Daisy (a black australorp) had a lot of white on her face/head as a chick


possible-Daisy Jr. says hello!


another dark chick with a gorgeously brown head
