I have had the "Blah's" today. I do not feel sick, my sugar levels have been perfect. I have had zero energy to do anything. All I wanted to do was sleep. I'm blaming it on Kentucky's bi-polar weather. Mid 70s yesterday and today 50 but felt colder.
I did spend some time outside with the chickens. George has learned to build a nest and call the girls to it to show it off. They chose not to lay in it poor boy.
I sat for a hour inside the coop with Davy and Barbosa. I talked to them, called them and offered treats. They elected to stay in the back and give me a stare down. I know the problem, I do not have their preferred treat. Last night their previous owner told me their treat of choice is mealworms. They completely ignored my offering of blueberries. George loves blueberries though so they did not go to waste. I guess I have no choice, I need to head to TSC or Rural King sometime this week and pick up a small bag of mealworms.
The boys were a bit friendlier when I came in to put them in their box at bedtime. I had the camera with me and got a few pictures. Davy is the braver of the two.

Judy, I thought molting was over. She started dropping all her feathers this past Friday. Why Judy. At least they are coming in as fast as she is loosing them. Crazy hen.
