fuzzi's Chicken Journal

Just wait a week and then let her start. You'll know for sure then that she's really setting.

High of 46 here today. Still holding off on much gardening. We've seen one day where the temperature got above 70 so far this spring

She was off the nest later, but I think she was practicing. Then I went to the second coop, and smelled strong poo. Tamar was puffed up on the perch, her butt up against the hardware cloth. She might be starting, too.


It's been cooler than usual here, but I'm enjoying it, and the ability to work outside in less than 90° heat!

She's from my hatch last year.

In three weeks I have a trip to Kentucky planned, annual visit with the granddaughters.

Today Priscilla appears to be going broody...

We make plans.
Chickens throw a loop in those plans.
Story of my life!

My DS (Dear Son) helped move some rocks from the area by the coops/big shed to a pallet behind the old decrepit shed. As we pushed/pulled the cart past the second coop one of the hens screeched. DS said it sounded like a goat screaming.

I bet it's one of the hens (Tamar?) feeling broody.

After mowing!

Gut-busters.

I crossed "move rocks" off my list.

Squash!

The round green ones are an Argentine variety, Zapallitto del Tronco. I bought the seeds on impulse, and just discovered that they are a maxima type of squash, which don't attract squash borers and bugs. And they have a taste very similar to zucchini, just firmer and not quite as moist.
