Yesterday's unusual sight becoming more common:View attachment 3516710PITA and Pear up by the garage enjoying life

Beautiful - just lovely, what a wonderful view.

And the chooks are also looking lovely.

Everyone is living the good life

That tea is just how I like it

Very strong with some honey and canned milk? Perfect!

She’s saying squuuuuuawk. I don’t know what that means but Dakota has been saying that for an hour. I fed her. I’m not sure if her prolapse vent has healed yet. But she’s not joining the group until I’m sure she’s okay

What and when did that happen? I don't remember reading this - what did I miss? Oh I hope she is ok.

@BY Bob had success with a situation that sounds like yours.
He used dry ice in the tunnels and killed them all.
I think it might work well for you.

now I have SHRA Tax!

I've just bought them sand so they can bath in it. They haven't gone anywhere near it yet. Us human slaves can never win

My kiddos were not sure about it at first. I think it was a week and then someone started digging in it - Oh I remember I threw some scratch grain in there and they started digging around and then soon after were fluffing around in it.

Tina laid a shell less egg again today, then she laid this

A very tiny egg

How is she doing otherwise?

She's the best mama that we have. If you need a broodie/mama hen then Poofy Jr is your girl.

Oh that is just perfect - so glad it's great to see mamas and babies out and about.

My silkies are good mamas but they fight with Dorothy and Marty which makes me panic that babies might be hurt.

I just realized I missed Two-fer Tuesday.
Wow, I'm having some bad luck lately.
It's fine. I just had to show you guys this photo. They are somewhat copying each other.
As Mary Poppins said, "Step in time!"

Monday night I noticed that she had prolapse and I helped her with it

Aren't they actually Polkies?

This bunch has one non-silkie (Mr P x Penelope), the other 3 are pure silkies from my friends silkie hens. I will check to see which one is a Roo and possible keep it for my own. Unless I decide to keep Rico... tough decision.
