Can he pick the lock with his beak or his spurs?

Silly, I will give him the key!

No. You need at least two hands, very precise and thin tools, and a brain.
Cypriano only has two feet, two wings, and ends up thinking he can rule the universe, when in reality I'm in charge

Stop right there. You're in charge Ha. That's what you think

, and Philomena rules BeakBook with a (insert name of metal that is the color of her beak) beak.

As someone from California, this is cold. You'd think Texas was hot year round, you'd be more wrong than a farmer trying to get a rooster to lay a egg.

Ummm, you call that cold?

Really! I understand Eenie, since she's still recovering...but Meanie looks just awful too.

How the mighty have fallen.

Poor dear! I have a hen molting late, too. This morning, the poor thing was shivering when she came out to eat. I held her gently to keep her warm and held the scoop of feed so she could eat while being heated by me. It is very hard to watch them like that - especially since it was down to around 20 degrees last night.

Sir jaffar’s problem today, he is annoyed by the trucks in the alley, thumping out all types of noises. It’s bothering me too!

Those lows look like highs to me!

So far Sylvie and Bernie are coping OK. Sylvie is definitely going for the full naked approach which seems excessive for a post broody mini-molt when she didn’t even stay broody for the full term.
Bernie has regrown her tail and some of her chest but is shedding wing and body feathers like crazy.
Babs hasn’t started molting yet as far as I can see.
And Tassels has decided to stop laying eggs in sympathy but is not molting.
My heated water base is working and tonight I closed the human door and one of the baffles.
I wonder if I should get one of those plastic strip doors to cover their pop door. I’m very cold nights I can fully close it but they are then grumpy come the morning!

They are cold I’d be grumpy too!

RC, have you ever thought about spending your winter in a different climate?
California in winter is pretty good . Then you can go back in the summer. A lot of people do that.

Oh sweet Tassels, stopped laying out of camaraderie huh? So kind and community minded.
