Chicken pusher, turkey pusher, cat pusher, goat pusher...

I got them toys yesterday, a couple catnip stuffed cloth fish and a few of those little balls with bells in them. They came out more last evening while I was reading in bed, and last night I could hear them. I was SO relieved to hear noise indicating that the second litter box had been located and used (toileting was my one big worry, everything else is negotiable), and lots of little crunchy eating noises and water drinking noises. So all the necessities are covered and I can relax.

Opal is now occasionally ok with me seeing her, though not approaching or making sudden movements. Brooke came out a couple times, but still mostly hides. But this morning, after roosters started crowing but before my alarm went off, I was lying in bed half asleep when Brooke jumped up - I think to get at the bay window behind the bed. My eyes were open so we stared at each other for a while. Then I made the mistake of saying hello, and she scampered. But hey, it's something! Cancelling the vet appointment tomorrow - no way am I going to be able to get them into their carriers yet.

The spiced bread sounds better than donuts to me....

Truer words never said.

OK, I have to go tend the chicks. Dreading to maybe find more dead ones. I really wish it would stop.

I totally agree on the litter box thing! If their mothers taught them well, you are in luck. But I never liked taking that chance. They came home, and were put inside the litter box as soon as I took them out of the carrier. Kinda like dipping a chick's beak. Glad they are eating and drinking.

She jumped up!

How dare you speak?!
Good luck getting them there soon!
I think the bread will be better. I am more of a raised donut person anyway.

LOL
Yes, chicken chores await. I hope you don't find anymore dead.

Quite possible

... And the "whole mess of chickens and quail" part is up to us to help you with.

Indeed!
This is the guy that suffered from the disastrous unexpected flood that devastated almost all his flocks!
This Brahama for example DON'T HAVE A ROOSTER! they all died! And it very difficult to find a good quality rooster here, so he can't breed them!

Had two does kid yesterday. The first one around 3:00 pm, she had 2 bucklings and 1 doeling. The other kidded around 8:00, She had three doelings, sadly, only two survived. The first group, the black one is the doeling. The second group, two doelings. @daxigait I'm at 4 bucklings/ 4 doeling (5 counting the one that didn't make it) with at least one kidding to go.

. I am sorry that one didn't make it, but congratulations they are beautiful. Is that a black a dorsal stripe on the white one? That is kind of cool.

Down where snow is just a thing in books? Go, bossa nova baby, keep on dancin', coz I ain't got time for that!

Jace said she's gonna go pack. I told her she's staying here.
