SHRA means Should Have Read Ahead. It occurs when the answer to your question is already posted.

The tax payment is a posting a photo with at least 2 chickens in it.

“At least two chickens in it”

I had the head lamp out with me tonight when I was putting everyone up. Here is just part of our nightly routine. I wonder why this group is some of the friendliest I've raised. I also know full well in the future I may regret turning them into always in your face chickens.

Wow, they are friendly. Lucky you!

Yah, the ladies love it!

Wow, it looks great! Very attractive, fits right in with your color tones, and would make a wonderful place if you need to separate a chicken for some reason (but still have them 'see' so not isolated. You are amazing! I, unfortunately, don't have the patience for such fine painting. A drip here, a drip there...ooops

The color scheme is @Blazinga they suggested the complimentary colors to the big coop which we used for the Cluckle Hut. That is just Cluckle Hut paint with white trim.

Even when it seems like it may take forever, I always try to remember that something that makes your partner happy is never a waste of time but a work of love .

I agree. That is a great way to view things.

Good job on that coop Bob!

Awww, I love the pictures of Mal. The two of them look like they were at their rebellious teens here (meaning: almost at POL) Aurora looks so much less stern here, something about youth makes them look more 'rascally' and less matronly or less stern - depending on the hen. Thank you for sharing!

Mal was always up to some mischief.

It just hit me. If she was still here she might be queen hen. That would have been wonderful.

No need to pause...I can insert foot as well as the next guy.

My problem is I want to be helpful, when sometimes I should just shut up.

I meant no offense. I was trying to be humorous and educational. Clearly it landed a little flat. My apologies.

I was very relieved to hear Jaffar crowing out in the yard. I had thrown out some scratch with safflower seeds on the ground and the chooks started scratching around for it. Jaffar started feeding as well. Now, they are all chasing June beetles, that started showing up today. I’m keeping a close eye on the little guy today though.

That is great news. Glad to hear it.

I'll soon have a small flock of Guinea fowl. 6 hatched earlier this week. I will keep 2 or 3 and rehome the others.

Pictures are required!
