Let us take time out today to celebrate Bunny's hatchday. She is 3 today and was from Holly's first ever clutch. Happy birthday sweet girl. I have some steak fried rice to sneak out to you later on when no one is looking.

Enjoy your hatch day Bunny!
Steak-fried rice sounds like a great way to celebrate.

Happy hatch day, Bunny !
And happy Monday to all.

This is Nieva. We took her to the vet Friday, as she’s struggling with bumblefeet.
She weighed her : 1.4 kilo, or 2.2 lbs. I don't think that's a lot ; @BY Bob and other leghorns friends, do you think it's more than yours in the US ?

23 pages behind and I won't catch up tonight. Spent the day doing non-chicken things. Enjoying a perfect day on the water. View attachment 3621322

I did do the chicken thing first. The kids are definitely...kids. Poor Eenie. Any of you that had toddlers likely remember not even being able to go to the bathroom alone. Found Eenie on the nest with both chucks chirping away, right in her face. Ran back to the house and grabbed my phone, and this is what I found when I got back! View attachment 3621327
I bet she was happy when she finished laying that egg and made a run for it. View attachment 3621326

Well, be prepared that she will likely wean them very soon now !

Not Floyd he keeps testing Mr P fighting him, so far P has wolhooped his arse, but I am not taking any chances he (Mr P) might be injured.

Penne is an option he ignores Mr P and he has been raised with him, roosts with him. But he terrorizes the gals, and the worry he has no fear of people, he likes to come and visit with me in the office and he will roost beside me.

If it was just me here Penne would be my option to stay but my mum is dead set against any Roos staying so I guess they will all go. Already she is going on about my getting rid of the hens just keeping the silkies and my niece and cousins hens. Get rid of the rest.

I will need to find someone to do chores here once I get settled in my new position; the horses will be housed at my friend’s place in the winter as usual. But I need to get someone to do the chooks this winter as mum has stated she doesn’t want to do them when it gets cold. This will be extremely difficult as I am in a rural area and people do t want to drive. I might approach my neighbour down the road and see if she wants to do them during the week, and maybe mum can do on the weeekends.

Any possibility of your mum boarding someone overnight so they wouldn't have to do the drive every day ? Or even take a woofer for winter ?

Happy Hatchday Bunny

At least it wasn't Jafar!

No not Jaffar! He’s my buddy and he’s not going anywhere! He Cocorico!

 

[LhickenChicken]

Who's that with the white meat chickens?

Ah just some other chickens from the incubator hatches. It's like goats and sheep. The meat chickens are like sheep and the others are like goats, otherwise the meat chickens will not know where to go. But the layer chicks lead them inside at night and makes my work load easier

A happy hatchday to Bunny, and a crypic day to Pennsylvania. It’s annual SQUONK day there. Such a sad cryptic creature!
(They have all the cool cryptic creatures back east )

Only cryptids we have in California are:
Bigfoot, the Fresno night crawlers, and half a dozen Rockaraptors !

Twister
She is my twisted sister, good thing she is friendly!

She some how flew OVER the netting, then couldn’t get back in, she was perched a n some safety fencing, so I opened the mesh and she flew up onto the 2x4 - such a ham!

Then the worst happened …..
questionable language so I hid the video

Spoiler: Oh no! You have got to be kidding!

She flew up into the loft OMG!
(Pardon my swearing but I was freaked out)

Yes I was able to get her - thank goodness mage is friendly.
