calling any one from missouri

[Kgee]

I have 2 babies. Another was a quitter (maybe a gut bleed) & the 4th egg wasn’t fertile. I made mama a better nest box (she was in an old bunny nest) & ran a few strips of chain link privacy vinyl around the bottom of the kennel to keep the chicks in. Since I only have 2, I do believe I will be adding a few more from Cackle tomorrow.

The dark chick (brown egg) hatched yesterday. The light one (green egg) this afternoon.

And here’s mama in her improved digs...

I was out in Poplar Bluff today working on the house and guess who stopped by to say Hi?

JT did! It was nice to finally meet face to face.
Edited to add: my hubby took the picture while I was saying something.

Daddy is a Buff Orpington. Light chick = Easter Egger mom.
I’m guessing dark chick would be from dark mom, so SLW or Black Sex-link. Thoughts anyone?

I am beginning to suspect (hope) that the Polar Vortex killed the armadillos. Haven’t seen any of them, nor any damage. There are several newly tilled areas they would have loved to mess up that remain untouched.
Anyone else?

I have started seeing dead ones on the side of the road, so I guess they are still out there.
Up near where I live ( about 10 to 15 minutes away) there have been 4 bear sightings in the last 4 days!

Good to hear that you all are starting to see hummingbirds in your areas. I will have to fill my feeders!

I started a lot of veggie plants from seeds but then I put them out too soon ( they were outgrowing their area inside). So I ended up loosing all of them. I have 1 vining something
(could be yellow squash, or luffa or watermelon) but I don't think it is a watermelon that was still inside. It has a lot of flowers on it now! I have had it outside hardening off and will plant it in the garden tomorrow. I also have some kind of peppers, but they are really small. The potatoes I planted in the garden are all coming up! I need to add on more soil.
I guess I will end up with store bought tomato plants this year ( again). Oh, and my strawberries are taking over my asparagus patch!

I had a Rose Breasted Grosbeak in the yard today... that’s the first one I’ve seen since this time a couple of years ago when they were migrating through...

We have a bunch of them hanging around the feeder for the last week or so.
