No offense to anyone, but this sums up my feelings perfectly.

I am Removing Phyllis from the Nest This Morning

I will film it for everyone to see.

It just occurred to me how I could tell if Phyllis was getting off of the nest. When I split the coop for her, I put down new straw. There have been exactly 0 poops on that new straw. Therefore I am fairly certain that Phyllis has not left the nest at all.

I am heading out in a minute to supervise her time off the nest.

Looking forward to an update!

Lilly has been using it. No eggs.

Bridge has a sit once in awhile, too. No eggs from her, either.

Names at last

This is Katydid. She's the most inquisitive, always trying to figure out what's going on and willing to jump to find out. She's very orange.

This is Shirina. (With a soft r). She used to enjoy being held, but now likes to jump away. Feathers coming in white in the front and black in the back.

This is Alba, named for Tyto Alba, the scientific name of the barn owl. She has a very raspy songbird voice and gained weight very fast.

This is Rime. She likes to scream and squirm when being moved. Feathers are coming in all white.

This is little Platina. She's been getting a lot better and now only has an occasional cough. Her new favorite thing is running away when we try to give her medicine.

Beautiful chicks with lovely names!!!

Ps. I can’t blame it on the weather being too hot this time. It’s a much cooler day today.

Glad it is cooler for you. I have been using the ‘maybe it will fall down’ strategy for years. I haven’t yet got the trees to cut themselves into logs on the way down however.

I wonder just how long I can procrastinate today without having to cut down those several trees that need falling. (Maybe if I wait long enough, they will drop themselves down and cut themselves into logs)

You will have to wait until Peter Pan files over to assist you. That'll be a very long wait

I hope Bob is safe. Phyllis looked pretty mean too me this morning. I wouldn't push my luck

Update: four trees down so far (they grow like weeds in my yard, but are 15-20 ft tall) it takes work to remove them. I’m taking a break.
