Hi everyone. Can I just share that the chickens had a GREAT weekend? They are so active now that it really feels like spring. They had about half of yesterday and almost all of today to range. They ran around (vs sitting) ALL DAY. My heart is warm. Here are a few highlights.

The biggest chicken, Buttercup, trying to squeeze into a tiny nest box with the second biggest chicken, Bridge.

Latest update for Mike: Heart doctor was here. She said the right side of his heart is very weak but he could go home if the medical doctor agreed, she did not agree but moved him to step down care. So another day or so here. Pt had him walk 250 ft.

A bit of progress at least.

So glad to hear he is doing better. Must be stressful on the family. Will they send him home with heart meds?

I imagine they will. I just learned that he may get to go home tomorrow.

I think I could be gymnast, mom - see how long I can balance on one leg! (she was like that for a full 12 min!)

No, wait, take a picture of this instead:View attachment 3470791
THIS is my better side!

The 12 min one legged stand would have driven Alex crazy!

 

[notabitail]

I see she has claimed dibs on the remote! Better watch it, she will take over your laptop next, and be on Beakbook all day long!

Oh no. And Abigail claims first dibs on knocking it down (She thinks it's a perch).
Beakbook? Oh no...

 

[notabitail]

I do love those crazy combs.

Thank you. Abigail was laying an egg. Very easy to snap a photo of her face.
