Gotta Spray birds in the mixed flock coop today for lice. They have it the worst. There's a lot of birds in there.

I also need to treat someone for scaly leg mites.

Had to move two teenagers to the mixed flock coop, for a few days. They're starting to mess with my Pea, & she's molting.
Gonna try to reset the pecking order.

Yep! We trailered down to the park today to ride. Misty got to see our friends horses, which she loves. She was a whole bundle of crazy. Me, riding bareback, she ran me through the ringer. We did more circles than I could count, all she wanted to do was run.
Heres the spunky little ball of furry. Or her nose anyway.

Awwwwwww!!! I immediately think pick your hooves clean, brush your silky mane, hugs, a warm exhaled snort & a soft velvety kiss Nothing quite as sweet as a soft Nicker from a velvet muzzle nuzzle in your ear (well, maybe snuggling with a bird)

Ditto that...yup, it's that time of year again. Birds are molting & those nasty parasites are trying to hunker down on our feather babies.

Could have been worse. At least they didn't get the chance to open her up from the back end.

Yikes...I've never had that happen & hope I never do. Good job catching early!

yes, I hear my young boys 1st attempts at crowing. Normal Crows start a pitch then go down, the newbies crowed a high pitch that ended even higher, it was hilarious, like a crow ending with a question "is this crow good enough?" Naturally I go out there with the phone to capture it...yeah 40 min later, still No Crows. The second I get busy with something else...Crows galore! Grab the phone again...silence. I think they do it on purpose!

And still being babied by his mama.

He is a handsome boy! It's cool how their colors become even more vivid as they mature.

I have a Roo that resembles yours, in his "chickhood" & as he grew, more & more colorful feathers popped out, I wonder if your boy might end up even more colorful. It's cool as they grow, waiting for that awsome tail, too. Mine was among the 1st 10 eggs I ever hatched out, so it was amazing watching as they grew. Here's colorful Roo Jojo & his brother Roo Jaylin. The blue red color genes are very interesting in combination, sometimes ya get silver & or gold popping out later in saddle or tail. They're so awesome.

Sometimes it's cool just to share an "Awww so sweet" moment to brighten someone's day

He's just a stinker. They all can be.
