Enter My Guessing Game:​

My 9 littles, pullet or cockerel? (Yes, a couple are obvious...the others????)

All have Americauna/EE dad. Moms are one of: BR, Americauna/EE, Welsummer, Cuckoo Marans, and 1 was from an Astralorp.
(Possibly 1 has an ISA Btown, as she & my 1 cuckoo lays same color/size eggs )

8 &9: cockerels, 1: likely cockerel, 2: want clearer pic (hold still, little dino), but based upon the inconsistent red: pullet?. Rest: pullets (I think)

1,2,8,&9? Cockerels the rest I would say pullets. I’m going to have to do a cockerel and chick count soon, I think I’ve lost a chick that was weaning but usually a bit of a loner, and I definitely won the cockerel lottery again this year. Might be a record…

I’m sorry, I should have done a Pullet dance for your luck with chickens. But I’m too busy doing the rain dance for the much needed rain here instead.

I did get the yard mowed today, and even cut a few junk trees down. While I was doing it, the rain came and went (just enough drizzle, to cause high humidity)

Not having a good day, it's raining we need it but darn my arthritis and back and legs are acting up. I am just dumb as a stump today

My parents use to say " a good kick in the A** and a hug fixes most things!"

Yep. It's super frustrating for sure.

Got 2 service companies scheduled. Got a feeling I won't like either quote but I prefer 2 quotes before spending a big chunk of money.

Wow, the one of Gucci looks like she is auditioning for one of the Vegas show girls!! Lovely

And the one of Hattie.....it is a beautiful picture...seems to have completely captured her calm, sweet demeanor...just a WONDERFUL head-shot photo of her. It makes me want to hug her and stroke her chin (wattles!!!)

It does dry out (except where I keep it watered)
