Sorry about the crappy camera work, it's hard to hold the phone and have a cricket rodeo at the same time lol.

oh yes, they are inseparable. The one I hatched, Pipo, wants to be held. I don't do it much because the other, Rusty, gets all upset if Pipo is out of sight. Also, I think Pipo may be a male, and supposedly babying them is the recipe for an aggressive rooster. If it's a pullet, then she can be a lap chicken.

One of the hens pulled it out of my hand trying to get a cricket.

A few pics...
it’s HOT here and we had a shower yesterday afternoon so it’s sticky too.. my phone just told me of a lightning strike 3 miles away... so we might get another shower in a bit

Another orange rose blossom... I can’t remember if I already posted the name, but I figured out this variety is called “piñata”... the blooms turned more coral then pink as they aged

These buzzy critters have been nice and active lately... I swiped a spoonful of honey yesterday as I was doing bee chores... just to make sure they were getting the recipe right
