Hi Princess

OMG, they look all grown up there!

Just like with human kids - they look too old too quick - tweens that look 18!.

They are lovely ladies - and I see Aurora is already keeping a watchful eye on the tweens to be sure they don't get into trouble and need a little reprimanding! (lucky for them the fence is still there! I know you have demonstrated (or she has) that she is good with chicks - takes them under her wing - at what point does she start treating them as adults and reprimand when they aren't towing the line???)

Well Lady Featherington already views them as competition. My guess is Aurora will treat them as she did Glynda and Lady Featherington in their time. Kindly, unless they challenge her, which Phyllis did when she first arrived. They will start getting adult treatment around 15 weeks.

They are still quite small compared to the bigs. They are far from full grown. I think the perspective on that photo makes them look larger. While not side by side, this might better show the size difference.

Come on Bob, won’t you be nice to animals?

Nope. Not welcome here. There is a very nice pond down the street. Use that.

They do nasty things to the pool and are not welcome here.

I was watching pool video's on youtube & there were some clever solutions people used to deter waterfowl from their swimming pools. Lots of simple ideas that worked all the way to complicated ideas. Some people fed the birds & let them swim but I don't think they realize the birds will return the following season w/ a full hoard of friends to swim & poop in the pools!

This is a great deterrent for many things in the yard.

How exciting! You will just love them. I just love having them.

Eve has had a lot of fun visiting with Hattie this weekend. Hattie ate from her hand and let Eve pet her. They got along splendidly.

& no pic of such a tender scene? I love animal whisperer kids

On the tails, the right one has long even rounded-end feathers which screams "girl" but the Polish (I mean French) bird on the left has uneven 2 rows of more pointed feather tips which usually means "boy"? Any thoughts...

Memorial Day for the USA today. Just thinking of all the military who preserve our life & the life we have here

 

[Grandma The Chicken]

My apologies for not posting yesterday but I watched AFV last night and let me show you some funny dogs followed by a funny chicken
These two (Yorkies?) are sandwiched in the couch. Then a man said something and they got out.

This dog stole a quesadilla.

And here's Shakira, thinking "you got a little something there."
