There the chooks, 2 dogs (1 supposed to be FIL, but clamed MIL), a cat (supposed to be MIL but claimed FIL), and 4 horses and the niece's dog. They also bought hunting tags on Monday. Archery season opened yesterday. No idea how much hunting will actually be done as they process it all themselves (MIL being the head honcho on turning much into jerky, sausage, and kielbasa). BIL pulled his camper out of hunting camp, where it usually lives for the duration of the season. Off season, it's parked in the yard next to FIL's camper. They're staying in it for a while, too, so will also be there. His wife is almost as deeply involved in the meat processing so will likely head up that part, now.
FIL is already thinking on cutting costs so will likely get rid of his camper. Mentioned used to camp out alone in a tent and idea of getting a new tent. We all promptly brought up idea of the tent camper shell for a pick up truck as a better idea. None of us like the idea of him camping out alone.
I'm hoping that he takes his brother with him if he does go camping. The brother has already been down this road and is facing the prospect of losing a second wife in the nearest future.
Some of the "you moved at the wrong moment" pics
View attachment 3611001Granite may be a boy. Comb is looking somewhat pinkish.
View attachment 3611002Nimbus, I think? Cumulo would pop up head with something behind to help highlight the shape when the camera was pointed elsewhere.
View attachment 3611003And Cardhu posed in just the right spot to NOT be able to see comb/crest possibilities. Based upon the salmony tones showing on the breast, hoping this one's a pullet.
View attachment 3611009Quartz is showing no pink yet, and has feathers coming down the spine. Can't quite tell if those have color or just need to spread from the pin a bit more to remove the shadows.
such lovely chickies, Cardhu is a different colour isn’t she?
- one of these days I will get better at picture taking!
