Ooh your SHRA tax is nice too, to see her from the side!. She DOES have a lot of white in her tail too! Miss Yogurt Lady

Two problems today:
1. I hope the eggs from the new Barred babies, get bigger than this one.
2. Emily keeps pecking me on my bumm every time I sit in the chair next to the barn/coop! View attachment 2738615View attachment 2738613

Emily, just did it again tonight! It's cute, but....

How do you plan to do that? The Buckeyes run, kind of freaked out, when I turn on the garden hose anywhere near them. Probably because it's something in the air, and it's a new sound. I might have to try lugging water out to their ground. Today I made two small puddles and only covered an area of at most 2x3 feet, so covering more ground would be better but a lot of lugging. It is cooler here, but hit 87 today. They walked around with wings out some, mostly not panting, but when I put more ice cubes in their water at 2pm and they moved around a lot because I was out there, two were panting very soon. They have a good amount of shade but the air temp is high nonetheless.

I spray where they normally hang out. They come back after I'm done. They figure it out pretty quick.

I just discovered I could copy it from the tab on my browser! I like to keep pictures to look at in tabs for awhile. This is the one:

Mugshot from Naenae...trying to show that she lost the tip of her upper beak, but couldn't capture it. Not missing much of it and she is eating and drinking fine. But my goodness! These birds are WORK!
and not to be outdone, Piscia did something to her leg and limps when she runs. I looked her over and see nothing swollen, no bumblefoot...I think she must've landed funny when she jumped down from a perch. She puts weight fully on it when standing and walking and still scratches at the ground.. so I'm just keeping an eye on her. It seems better from this morning even.

They can stress you for sure.

That was her at 9 weeks She’s gone through a lot of changes, losing the white (except for her face) then getting it back again. It has been amazing to see the evolution of her feathers.

Side on today, you can see her green sheen. Missed her tail in the pic though

Well, two down, only ten to go! (And they are the hardest to get to go to bed)

I'm laughing at the SHRA you get for being helpful.

This is also a reminder for the future that a SHRA tax payment has 2 chickens in it.
