[featherhead007]

Peep, peep, peep, shrill, peep whistle, peep, peep!

I love this! I’m going to buy a little hoop this weekend, Belle is so food orientated that I think it will work
If not, my daughter (also a Violet like you chicken ) has a new hula hoop

I wanted to name my daughter Violet, but my ex-husband wouldn't agree to it because it wasn't in the bible...

The babies are smart little buggers. They can recognize the bag of meally worms, and start going crazy. Even the sound of the bag gets them going.
they are only 3 days old. (Oh boy, am I in trouble)

Disclaimer: I do not feed the littles meally worms too often. But when I do, they go nuts. (Geez, I sound like a DosXX’s commercial)

Ummm... did everyone see that @Aussie-Chookmum ’s Alice won the molting contest??? Congratulations!!!

My Ester tied for third, too!

I had no idea! Yay! I'm sorry she went through such a tough moult but I'm delighted she's recognised for it

Oooh... I need to look into this. DH, who is a general contractor, is venturing into chicken coops.

After watching the Funrun go up, the most important thing I would suggest is attach the hardware cloth before lifting the walls up to vertical. It's hard work lifting a roll of hardware cloth (or whatever) up to a vertical.

Hahaha, yep. I’m finally up to where I joined back in early Jan
Next will be MJ’s thread where I originally was and found this thread via that!

The good news is my thread moves a lot slower, with usually 4-8 posts a day, with the occasional burst of a few pages in 24 hours. So it'll be easy to establish context for whatever topic we're nattering about

You're on to me RC. It was just an excuse to post the picture really.

That's what I thought all our taxes were a jokey way of keeping the posts coming and showing the chickens to each other

Besides the one-eye situation due to hat and comb, it's the ruffles and wattles below, but mostly it's the steady, confident, a little bit flirty and very direct gaze right into your eyes!

Daisy, the greatest hen ever, had this way where she would would look me directly in the eyes. It was a wonderful thing.

I don't know what to say. You are s right. Mrs BY Bob pointed children of the corn out last night.

I will point out that friendly goats did come out of the corn in Field of Dreams. What does that mean?

It means there's a collective subconscious and each night, we're all dreaming the same dreams
