She won’t make it. She’s been digging in the topsoil. She hasn’t reached the riverbed clay substrate yet!

But She's got High Hopes

Emergency med kit discussion, I am putting together multiple posts on this subject because I think it’s important and maybe (hopefully) easier to follow along.

Bgmathteach opened a discussion on what to throw into the emergency chicken kit.

Thank you for your wonderful synopsis - and for collecting the first aid kit stuff in one place. I'm bookmarking this one!

I know it's Friday, but this is too funny. Taken last night. Havoc is VERY appropriately named.

I just love this picture, below. That has to have a chance of winning picture of the week

Belated Caturday. Pusscats new cuddle friend

 

[rural mouse]

I do the same when doing a headcount
2 white
2 brown
2 grey with hairdos
1 grey
1 black
1 splash
4 speckled littles

In the past, I count littles separately from bigs...until I accidentally count the littles mixed in with the bigs. Tells me size wise I'm not noticing much of a difference any more. It's still there, just have to look more closely. At that point, just count all of them....until the count is short, like last night.

Indigo wasn't there. Time to go look for hidden nest she's likely broody on.....(that girl WOULD pull a Ol' Momma Bat)....not a clue where she was, but she's not brooding a hidden nest. She's safely tucked in the coop with the others....after I got thoroughly mosquito chewn looking for the "hidden nest" that doesn't exist....yet...

 

[Ponypoor]

I count all the feet and divide by two. ( I have a chicken foot thing!)

What is they are standing on one foot?

What is that??

 

[Ponypoor]

Right? You may remember I started this whole “let’s get chickens” thing wanting 3 maybe 4 now I sit at 13 and plan to breed the fancy spotty ones to help a bit with paying for this new addiction. Smh @ myself. Love them though, so what’s a girl to do? Get more chickens of course!

I know it’s very addictive - but having had a stable full of hay hog lawn ornaments I know not to get in over my head
