Granny's gone and done it again

Cindy, you never did tell me whos dogs spent the night ?
I asked if you wanted the short version or the long version... You didn't reply.. guess you missed that.. So, here goes.
Moved in May 10th last year, Next door neighbor stops by to say "Hello" and chat a bit.. She's an older woman whose daughter lives with her.. She asked me if LilBit was mine since he showed up about the same time I did. I went over a few days later to take her a piece of cake after she had had eye surgery.. I noticed Miene was poor.. very low weight and walked like both front legs came out the same hole. I told her I would take Lilbit and since she didn't know who he belonged to and he and Gator were getting along so well.. NTM he spent so much time over here.. She was all Halleluyah and crap, someone cares about animals..

Few hours later here she comes with daughter in tow.. Daughter is a mouthy piece of work, with no respect.. boiled down to "I can't believe my mother gave my dog away while I was asleep, but if you pay half the vet bills, I'll share him with ya". I said nope..

Three days later po po show up at my door about a dog dispute.. I say there ain't no dispute, I'm not paying vet bills for someone else's dog.

Lilbit spends an extra ordinary amount of time here.. He's gone from super shy to a real treat. They both eat here daily.

End of Story.
 
Hubs said no to any rescues but I’ve been in communication and on a wait list with a German shepherd breeder up north near Sacramento.

I know from when we lost lexi the inbetween part is the worst - coming home to empty house and all that.

yep was about the worst 2 months of my life between putting down Coco and getting the original Lena.
 
Honey Badger, I'm Homeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Charging up the phone so I can download a few picks I got.
Picked up 4 black boids this morning and dropped off the two BR cockerels that I got into the kennel easily. They all traveled well on the go to and return trip. The 4 black boids I picked up settled right into the kennel as soon as it was in the back of the Jeepster. As if they KNEW it was okay and better days were ahead. Put 3 of the 4 out in the big coop with the 3 BSL (2Cs and 1P). What a stink! But I was there with the rake handle letting the big boys know their behavior was not acceptable and that ended that. The 3 new ones jumped up on the roosting bar and headed into the hen house for a nice roost. I did take a pic of an egg (medium sized egg) laying on the ground. The kid said he had nesting boxes in the shed (3 sided) but they wouldn't lay in them. I could see why, it was on the ground.

Now, the interesting part for those that want to continue to read.. Based on the type of comb (Shape and size) I know pretty much for certain I have 3 hens out of the bunch and maybe one cockerel. They are just over 41 weeks of age and came from a big breeder down here that said they were "Black Astrolorp" crosses, but I highly doubt it. I think he's going for Black Asians, so they have to have some Asian blood in there. He also said there was some silkie blood which gives them the black skin, etc. But I'm not seeing that at all, nor did I see any Black Astrolorp in any of them. You will see from the picks I took they are smaller than my BSL's by quite a bit. From the hackle and neck feathers, all appear to be hens, but one thing is bothering me.. All of them have spurs. And I do mean SPURS! They are not aggressive in the least, and are somewhat flighty. I put food and water in the hen house where they decided to rest. I felt bad about leaving the 2 BR boys there since they are only feeding whole corn to the ones they have, and that is quite a few.. He started out with around 400 of the danged birds, and is down to maybe 100 now.
Henri and his 'buddy/buddett' are comfy in a corner of Henri's Hideaway. Never a moment of confrontation between the two of them.. some circling, then boop, pals.

any of them with 5 toes that seems to be a give away that there is silkie in them
 
You can put two nails in a board, put the head between them, and chop.

did that and then the hatched/ax bounces back and still have a live roo. For me I hang them upside down stand on their heads and pull. Kind of like a Christmas cracker.
