Greetings everyone. I miss a day and I'm 36 pages behind! I simply don't have the time to catch up! Hope everyone and their chickens are well!

The triplets are 3 weeks old today and Mama Eenie wants DONE with their run! I've been trying to let them out into the main coop a bit, but getting them back in has been a pain. I wanted to let just one hen at a time be in with them, but it's so hard to separate the 3 in the run and Mr
. Horney Manny is always first in the door! He goes right for that poor old mom and the chase is on because she wants none of him!

I know at some point she's going to have to sink or swim. Saturday I'm going to let her out of the run and give the triplets just enough space to get in and I'll spend some time watching. Fingers crossed.

The weather has settled now into the high 80s, which would be wonderful if we didn't keep getting a little thunderstorm every couple days, keeping the humidity like 75% or more! I walk out of my house and my glasses fog over! Yuck! But better than triple digits.

I just realized I haven't taken a baby picture this week! I'll remedy that soon!
I can catch you up in a PM if you like 😊❤️
 
Oh my power was out when this happened, but speaking of flipping chickens, had a leghorn mudwrestling match after a rain.

Dear Aurora,

Little Owly here.

I have a question about my hooman. Since I was adopted by my momma Raven I have worked very hard to become a favorite chicken. I heeded the words of wisdom from Butter to always sit in a available lap. I watched as Branch and Bubba strutted around and posed for the black box she calls a camera and followed suit. I may not be a rooster but I can strut and pose with the best of them now. Goose, Chiquita and Branch claimed she loves beards so I am eating everything spicy and growing a beard to rival their own. I want my human to be happy so everything my elders say makes her happy I try to do. Why then is my hooman sad? What is sad by the way, I do not know? My elders are the ones claiming she is sad. I know happy, I have always been happy, this sadness is new to me. I continue to jump on her lap or shoulder every chance I get. Instead of the smiles that once followed this now come hugs and her eyes start raining. Branch says I have to let her give me the tight hugs and never mind the rain it will pass. Will it? I strut and I pose but the black box never appears anymore why? Am I doing it wrong? Are pullets and ladies not supposed to strut, is it only a rooster thing? Momma Hen says give it time and one day it will appear again and I need to keep practicing. I am not sure I should listen to her, my Hooman has began to glare at her and telling her not to think about it. Of course, I do not know what she is thinking about, she is Momma Hen and everyone calls her crazy. Is my beard making her sad? I am young and loosing my baby fuzz and just starting to grow a beard. Did I get everything wrong and should I have instead grown feathers on my feet? The majority of my elders agree that beards mean nothing it is the feet and legs extra feathers must grow. I am so confused and just want things back to the way they were. We do not have a Queen now so that is why I am turning to you. I hear whispers of the Great Queen of all flocks Aurora who knows everything. The Marshmallows claim they once sought out your help and you kindly replied and solved their problem as teens. Will things go back to as before? Will my Hooman be happy again? I do not know of this sadness but I do not like it. Do other flocks experience sadness as well? If so how did you help to bring back the happiness? Can we tiny baby chickens bring back happiness or is it something only my elders can do?

Yours truly
A very lost and confused Owly

@BY Bob can you beg Aurora to answer poor little Owly? I think my heart might break otherwise.

This one made my eyes rain. :hugs :hugs :hugs :hugs :hugs :hugs :hugs :hugs :hugs :hugs :hugs
 
Hello 👋 everyone-
I have some catching up to do. On Monday I had my first appointment and I decided to participate in a trial they have. It may reduce the probability that I will have a recurrence and it is a low risk trial. I will get a series of shots of the flu vaccine which should act like biologics do and prompt my own immune system to fight the cancer. Crazy cool medical advances! Then I will have surgery on the 31st of this month.
