[knoturavggrl]

Has she been allowing the attention of any of the boys this year? Maybe Twiggy could woo her?

Twiggy!

I had to drive to town today. After four warnings for dangerous driving conditions, I still managed to get back safely. Only my socks and shoes are wet! (I hate having wet socks)

I got myself a doorbell and am experimenting with using it as a nest box cam. There is no expectation of privacy in the Chicken Palace!
My regular cameras are too bulky for the already rather small nest boxes but I think the doorbell might just work.

Great idea, something flat! Yes I was only half-joking before. Watching @Ponypoor 's videos with Mr P, Dorothy, Sophia and everyone else - there's some kind of party going on in there we need to see! Privacy.....Whatever was happening in those two boxes, it involved several chickens. Frankly as long as it's a safe location the whole (chicken) neighborhood could stop by I think

Oh my! Stay home and stay safe!!!

I just took out the dog for a quick walk and heard a ruckus in the run! No idea what was going on but a bunch of songbirds were scared off, I saw them scattering as the cackling happened! The run is covered. Maybe they were sitting on it? Anyway everyone acted like they were starving when I went to check, but otherwise were unscathed. The starvation was BS because they always have open feeders in the coop and I gave them a tiny bit of scratch earlier. (Really! It was tiny!) Mindful of the whole "not so many treats" thing, but who can withstand begging chickens, I mean...look at this face!

I pulled up some fresh chickweed from the yard, which they fell on voraciously. Surely stuff they could forage if I allowed them to free-range doesn't count?

I was breaking ice for the cows and it was so thick, pounding it with a sledgehammer barely did a dent to it. Well, i guess i was a little to confident in the thickness so thr water ended up going to my knees and i got stuck in the mud. Let me say this, my shoe was stuck at the bottom from the mud, i nearly face planted in the water trying to get out, and had to spend a hour caring for the cows in the cold with soaking socks and soaked boots. After ten minutes or so i actually enjoyed the sogginess.

Happy Fluffy Butt Friday! Here are some fluffy butts and chicks for tax.

An update: Dixie has moved in the coop with the others! They are now two weeks old.

The first two photos should go on POW. I have great captions for those.

I have always thought that was interesting as well. It's like if you can steal it you can have it.

Res-peck!
