That naked necked one cracks me up - love it! And that black with the brown wings is very striking looking. Who am I kidding I love them all

If any of my hens have babies, I would have to call them (Immaculate and Conception) !

Hmmmm - you know I am sure he knows what he is doing. Even Mr P knows what to do and I thought he wasn't doing anything until I saw him on the cameras doing his thing!!

Oh they are so adorable! I would love some of them but I think my winters would be too hard on them, not to mention I think Mr P would be to large and might injure them.

I know this would be a lot of work, but if it will get below freezing overnight (well, either really windy and 30, or colder), can you put paper lunch bags over some buds and then wrap/tie them on around the limb below? I KNOW you can't do the whole tree...but it you could do, say, a dozen buds....maybe you would still have a bit of color????


Can you speak more about Botany? I love your Botany tax!

Lastly - that is a GORGEOUS photo of the magnolia bud. Would it be okay for me to download and use as my background photo on my desktop?



My Botany Tax:
I like my Welsummers. They aren't as heavy as BRs, but lay lovely speckled eggs. Picture of a pullet, then a hen. (the pullet is VERY friendly - she will let me pick her up with no fuss. Not a snuggler, though)View attachment 3412889View attachment 3412888

Love their speckled eggs mine will not let me pick them up but they are super curious.
