Had I ever mentioned how much I love my rooster ?

What they did to Johnny Depp is stupid. I wish he would come back and be Captain Jack Sparrow again.

Got tax to go with Mr Sparrow.

Happy Pony Sunday from my new dog, Charlie, whom I’ve known for 15 minutes

Charlie looks like he wants to have a forever home. I really, REALLY hope it works out for both of you.

I think I owe tax.
This is Little. I don't know if I've posted many -- or any? -- pictures of her. She's one of my original flock, and will be 4 years old in 11 days.

Thank you! I hope it works out too.
Hi Little. You’re a pretty girl, aren’t you!?

Those 2 need names. Options: use Daisy and Liz (the others were cut so short), find new names, make a blend of Nox and Liz for at least the sussex.....wait a while and see what falls out to match personalities....

I say use the 2 names UNLESS their personalities say otherwise. ?Blend of Nox and Liz: Lox? Niz? Noli?

Alas, I’ve mentioned this before, but my girls don’t find cabbage to be worth their while. Won’t even touch it . What a shame!

I bet if you did the following, they would 'learn to like it" by experience.:

Cut a cabbage in half so ragged edges are exposed. Mix a bit of peanut butter and scratch grains or mealyworms (any favored treat like that), then smear that on the cut edge and hang first thing in the morning when they are hungry.

They should go for 'pecking' the treats, and eventually also the cabbage. Leave it in their for a few days - so it becomes 'not new and scary', and their curiosity will get the best of them....they can and do 'learn to like' new foods - it will probably just not ever be their favorite. But that is okay. The thing with Cabbage is you can usually get it fairly cheap (at least a certain times of the year - like now), and it is big enough to last a bit (unless you have a LOT of velociraptors, like me - but it does last slightly longer than most other things, due to it's bulk.

Good morning all!

Today is day 3 of the wormer in the water, tomorrow they can have regular water again. And after Wednesday I can once again collect eggs.

Then I need to wait 2 weeks and repeat the process. 3 days treatment and with hold eggs until 3 days after last treatment day.

Buttercup’s looking spotacular

This is worth a shot! Do you find yours like the red as much as green?
