Can hardly believe my eyes just now! Was out back trying to see what some hens were fussing about. Heard a shrill sound and saw 2 Cooper's hawks being chased out of the big oak by several very small birds. It happened so quickly. The little birds chased the shrieking hawks over the house and into a neighbor's tree. I saw them zoom and whirl and dive bomb the hawks. Amazing. Could see the little ones clearly as they triumphantly zoomed back over to my yard... they were hummingbirds! 5 of them! Amazing! And I had just refilled their feeders too. I've always said hummers are ferocious beasts, but this was unexpected.
Lately those hawks have turned my yard into a cafeteria. I've found remains of quail, dove, poor little Towhee, and most recently a scrub jay. I thought we needed crows around to keep the hawks away. Who needs crows when we've got hummers!

Scene of the latest crime...

Love hummers! If they were big, they would be Stormtroopers. Or something terrifying. Lol.

I work on 2 other yards and work Fridays on the yard where I keep Harry. I look after 7 ponies on a yard in a morning for an OAP couple who are now both retired then on an afternoon I look after another 5. Afternoon job has 3 big boys and 2 shetlands. Olivia is a miniature and has got a real attitude, actually she’s a madam :lol:

I'm jealous! Hello, York, I'm Blue. :frow Don't have horses any more :hit but I have fond memories of some Arabians ... Er, okay, half-Arabs ... that used to come in the house for brief visits. Long ago and far away. Nice to meet you!

Thank you!

That would certainly be a sign as he’s never bucked and I’ve never fallen off him in 18 years :lol:

I’m surprised mine isn’t hairless with how much she constantly sheds! She’s old though and inbred i think.
50% for the frizzle gene. I only have one pure polish frizzle and one polish frizzle cross left. The cross was just some test eggs I popped in the incubator but all 4 hatched. I did have another polish frizzle that went broody which they don’t usually do.


:frow Thanks!

At the same time?

Hi :frow we had the same smell as it had been quite dry untill the heavens opened. Now it’s feeling sticky and humid.

Sounds nice!
