This is Robin's spur bud. The rest of the pullets' are just little tiny bumps.

When the wool socks are hand made (commercial socks in my size ALL have polyester in them), darning becomes a worthwhile task....until you're darning the area around the darn. Then they get retired to hair curlers or rice bag heating pads. I will agree, though, darning is a pain!

Ah - so you understand that my thankfulness for the supply of all wool socks is heartfelt and not some trivial jokey comment.
I have found a store in Canada that has all wool socks and will ship to the US. I won’t buy socks with polyester and am horrified that socks presented as wool socks are sometimes only 30% wool!
I haven’t bought any from them yet, and they aren’t cheap, but I was thinking of getting a pair to try.

It’s her night tonight. She’s a beautiful spec-of-mine and she is the last of my original tribe. She trusts me to do what I need to do and still love on me after.
She’s treated like the queen she is.

A few of my ladies have spurs to rival Mr P! Yikes!

Fence is on and they were inside it (though Calypso nearly flew over it as part of whatever game they were playing).
It is about 250 linear feet (79meters) arranged in a big circle. So there is lots of space to go nuts and practice flying!
They played until just before dark and then came rushing in like their fluffy butts we’re on fire.
Crazy chickens!

I can’t wit till tomorrow when let them out - the snow might slow them down but once they see
The fence down it should be a stampede hahaha!

I want to break freeeeeee!

I am thankful to my father for many things. And one of them is his vast collection of wool socks.
Every pair had a hole in the toe of one of them. But they were all identical so I just paired up the good ones.
Like my mother I am not convinced darning is a good use of my time. Maybe one day!

Wool sock tax: the late night flying bully, Piglet, looking like she is a calm, well mannered, and lovely hen. Pah!
