As requested @Ponypoor a picture of Oreo that includes his feathered dino toes.
Well done with the pumpkin. For the 3rd year in a row mine are still terrified of a pumpkin. I love Oreo and his dino feet. Perfect description for them as Marans, and mixes have huge feet. His copper is really starting to come in, it wont be long and he will be even more stunning.
 
Oh my gosh! That is a lot if stress!!! Kudos to you reviving the chicks. How did you know they were still alive?
I did not know, I honestly thought they were gone. The only reason I acted quickly and tried is because they were not stiff. I found them just in time I think considering how long it took to revive them.
 
How dare you make your special red-headed house pet wait for raisins. She should never have to ask, you should be 2 steps ahead of her and have them ready at all times. Bad chicken daddy.

What Rebecca said!

(How you doing Alex? Haven’t had a chance to say hi today 😊)
 
I rolled my own sushi today! Yum :drool
The chooks got some rice, avocado and cucumber. I used up all the crab 🦀 I had. I also had salmon 🍣. The price of crab legs is skyrocketing. :(
Yummo! When I was a teenager, we often did sushi nights at home. My brother was charged with rolling the maki. We still have the occasional sushi feed at my parents’ house to this day! Love it!
 
I don’t use seaweed in my sushi, I roll it very carefully. (There’s plenty of leftovers for the chooks tomorrow) :D
You don’t use seaweed? I’d love to see a photo of your sushi rolls! The fancy ones at our favorite sushi restaurants sometimes don’t have seaweed.

Good morning all!

Just checking my barn cams, looks like the rat trap didn’t catch anything - still. And the beastie is getting very cheeky now out and about when I got home last night!

Reenie is still sleeping, she snores hahaha, I am about to head out there so I hope she is up soon.

Mr P is sleeping with his signature head hanging down stance. Marty is still roosting which means she isn’t laying an egg this morning.

Ok everyone, have a good day!
Hi, Kelly. There was a huge rat in the coop and run the other night when I got home after dark and I had my dog chase it out of there.
 
Do you have other roosters near by that he can hear crowing ? At least 50% of the crowing we get here, is in answer to other roosters.
Out of my two males, Théo crows a lot, lot more than Gaston. He uses crowing as an assertion of dominance. Gaston is just beginning to crow during the day at 21 weeks. Mr P. doesn't seem like the typical macho guy and if there are no other roosters around maybe he just doesn't feel like crowing!
To be sure it's not an health issue, if you've ever recorded him crowing you can play his own crow to him and see if he answers.

I'm also worried right now for my roosters. For one thing Théo is chasing Gaston badly. For now it's just about frightening him but I'm afraid that once Gaston realizes he is three times bigger they will actually fight. And also, Théo is molting pretty hard, and now the tip of his comb is turning black again. It happened to him in summer with no issue, but it can be a cause of worry for roosters.

We finally have some rain forecasted for tomorrow and I really, really hope it does rain. We had a three weeks respite after nine months of draught at the end of august, and now everything has dried up again.
Anyway sorry for rambling and here are some thirsty pictures!

I’m sure I’ve said this before, but it looks like you live in a really beautiful place!
