Shared a gorgeous portrait of Phyllis which has been framed as a gift for Mrs BY Bob. @LozzyR is the talented artist who created this lovely memento of a very special hen.

Bob has nasty, weather at FBAs and his chickens are not happy with the situation. He reminded us of the time Aurora got stuck in the snow as well as the saga of the blizzard told in his coop-build article. So far there has only been minor - but symbolic - damage to FBA.

The Rockettes are not getting enough to eat! So he is feeding them one at a time away from everyone else.

@Ponypoor

Has managed to rehome Bert. Sounds like he will be very happy in his new home and we can all count ourselves lucky that Mr. & Mrs. Little Chicken didn't go too!

Something is up with Marty - looks like an issue with a soft egg. I do hope it is a one off.

Apologies if I missed any important news. Have a great weekend everyone.
 
It’s so funny that Rudy roo, just pushes Mr Wyandottey off the other birds. He’s a gentle roo for sure. Hel run across the yard and stop the act in its tracks. Just pushing Wyandottey off and waddles away as if nothing happened! It’s so hilarious :lau
Mr P does that too.
 
Snow thaws sounds like it can turn to slippery ice. Do you wear cleat footwear to avoid slippery ice spots? Ever since my fall breaking my arm I'm paranoid about hazards ~ & we don't even deal w/ snow!

Our closest snow are the mtns behind us. Pretty in the winter but scary fires in the summer.

What mountain is that? My mum asking.

One yr they visited our cousin in Bakersfield and they had snow there!

Dad helped them shovel snow

😆😆😆😆😆

People were asking the ‘Canadian’ how they dealt with snow all the time - they had about 6” - mum can’t remember which yr that was - 2010?

Thanks 🥰🥰🥰
 
Well the youngsters finally got a taste of snow! They were totally freaked out some of them kept trying to fly to get over it! I had to finally go and rescue about half a dozen of them. Mr LC was one of them - poor fella he is not built for winter!

Mrs LC flew out and up onto the run fence landed in the snow on top of it glared at me and flew back into the barn - she was definitely not going out there!

Betty and Fluffy were the only ones who spent any time out there, I threw down some old bedding, but it started snowing and they also came back in.

Love how they wouldn’t go on the snow, stick to the path I made.
