Don’t care I still like her

Has a good molt going on I see…

That's from a few weeks ago. She is re-feathered now. Even has her tail back

I have a couple and was thinking of doing something like that. What kind of paint do you use?

Just cheap acrylic spray paint. Or any paint leftover from ACE hdwr in town.

Not yet. We can find out together.

It’s light enough to just remove in winter - my gang won’t go outside when it gets really cold and snowy.

Didn’t make it to town today, guess I will need to go tomorrow from work…

Me either guess I'll get to the farmers market next weekend. Fortunately HEB grocery carrys really good local fruits n veggies.

Listen, I almost accidentally did that yesterday. I came out to find Raven had decided it was time to take the chicks off the nest. She is fighting with Blueberry in the process. I see a blue chick also with Blueberry and assumed it was Raven's and that is what the fight was about so I stuck it up with the others. Only then did I realize my mistake as there is 6 chicks in Raven's nest not 5 and 2 blue ones. I lift up Blueberry and sure enough she had a early hatched chick. The only thing that saved me from possibly messing up the 2 blue chicks is thankfully Raven's blue chick was starting to get feathers on it wing tips. If not for that I would not have known who was who.

That's not cool. I'm glad you figured it out.

Dorothy is getting her feathers back also, but those one feathers on her wings are still sticking out!

Not possible. She walks through that one to get to her preferred one.
I have a strong sense this is not a war I will win.

I would still put the warm bricks out there for a while. She may decide she likes them.

The meeting is over, but these three said that they need to talk with me. Uh oh!
I’m hoping it’s about their break from the egg strike they are on lately. I need my eggs! I’m ready to negotiate!
(You know, proposal, counter offer stuff)
