There’s a goat in our street! Ziggy says hi to Arduenna.

You just don't see that every day!

She's less than 2 isn't she MJ? I believe that FatBird is pushing 12. May you have another decade!

Mary and Janet are 4. Ivy and Peggy are 2.

Eta no, I got that wrong. Ivy and Peggy are 1 and a half.

OK - I could give them corn - they love corn on the cob. They really don't love 'mushy' food - but I can try for sure.

The first time I did a wet feed they weren't crazy for it either. I sprinkled some cracked corn on top and that helped. I also use very warm, almost hot water to soften the pellets quickly. They seem to like warm wet feed over cold wet feed.

I really feel the Princesses will do just fine. They are all a good weight with good feather cover and have more then adequate food, water, and shelter.

Well, I had an ink and wash class today. I am definitely not an artist...yet, but I have high hopes.

Some of my ink blots made me think of flying feathers, so a made a tribute to moulting.

I intend to draw lots of chickens for the rest of the year until I'm happy with them!

I love it!

You just don't see that every day!

On my way to work every day, there is a house with a smaller yard then mine, and she has 2 mini goats, a mini horse, and 2 German Shepherds.

You never know what someone might have in their yard around here!!

I do not have a clue on how this was made.

We CAN customize the name. Before the photo, by adding “=title you want” into the spoiler code.

You captured her voice to perfection!

1 hour 45 minutes to catch up this morning. Way to go West Coasters and Aussies! That was some posting for a Monday night/Tuesday.

I honestly do try to post very little. I often have a thought and don't share it.

I'm sorry I had to. I read the entire 3000+ thread Backyard Bob. Anyways, I'm not planning on being a frequent poster, but I thought you would enjoy this. Your first fan art!

OK so I should stop worrying as it is 'only' going down to 7°F?

Essentially. I am pretty certain they will be fine.

As I remember you flocks combs, none of them are overly large. I never put Vaseline on Patsy's comb even though I did Daisy's, the greatest hen ever. Patsy never lost any comb to below 0°F temps, nor did Lilly. I am debating Hattie's but it is not much bigger than Patsy's. Daisy's comb was enormous.

Frankly after I put this collage together, I don't plan to even do Hattie's comb. Its smaller than Patsy's.
