It is a lovely picture of her.

Thanks. She is a beautiful subject.

Bob, I would arrest my Beetov-Hen, but the handcuffs just won’t fit!

Do they make "wing cuffs"?

It was a Dark and Stormy Night........

As @CrazyChookChookLady and Josh pointed out last night, it was dark and stormy. So I fired up the camera and recorded the inside of the coop on a stormy night.

Let's talk about starting positions. When I did roost check, this is where everybody was.

Sansa was already on the ground. I did not think a lot of this because every once in a while she sleeps on the ground or in a nest box. I became more interested in this later.

As the storms approached, I decided to go make a check on the coop. I wanted to be certain everything was locked down. As I made my way back to the house with lightning flashing in the sky, I heard a thump from the coop. Hattie had gotten off of the roost.

In this first video you will see Hattie laying on the coop floor looking out the window. This is a great 3 minutes of rain and thunder. It's actually kind of peaceful in a way.

This was only a prelude to the storms which will continue for several hours.

This next clip shows the reaction when the storm steps up the intensity a lot. It happens about 35 seconds in. Watch for everyone's reaction.

Hattie did not sleep while the storms will still going. I kept the camera on the whole time just to see. It seem that like many of humans, Hattie does not enjoy thunderstorms. I myself love them.

Just look at what the storms did to my magnolia blossoms.

Indeed it was a dark and stormy night. They were certainly alert to the storm.
I wonder whether your ladies will enjoy the petals on the ground this morning.

I know that Aurora does not like them on "our" chair. She was sweeping them off yesterday before she settled in to groom.

This was given to me, by another lady a few weeks ago.

There's something here, when I hit "reply" I see a non-hyperlink address, but I can't see it or get to it.

Go to fb. Look up Kinder World. It's there. Or, it's under Kinder World on youtube, not quite the same.

Maggie says it is Monday.

Poor babies.. scared. In the last video .watch your girl..Hattie?...you might want to check her for mites. See how she turned..real quick..to scratch? She did it a couple of times. When I see mine doing this I check. Sometimes there are buggies, sometimes not. . Just to be sure. And, I'm with you, love me a good springtime or summertime rain storm.
