Got to give my 2 injured babies (pullets) their bedtime meal and get them off to bed so I can take my meds and find my pillow soon.

I would. I might have to buy a few seed to get it started here but it is a lovely flower.

I bought a bag of ground chicory for GC, she'd been drinking coffee but lately it's been making her sick. She can't drink my Pero as it's barley. She quite likes the chicory, got it at that Amazin' place.

It is a true blue. I havent noticed the seeds but I will look for them. They only bloom in the mornings

We had four hens in that pen with a rooster just fine, then suddenly the hens all started looking ragged and going broody. I bought saddles and put one on one. She never went broody again, but two of the others did. You'd put them back after a week and they'd still put their wings out and walk around clucking like they had chicks following them or something. I switched roosters and voila, like magic, they stood up and stopped their act.

And yes, they still pluck. I even took them to an avian vet an hour away to try figure out why. I did every trick in the book.

Did you try feeding parrot pellets instead of seed?

Did you try feeding parrot pellets instead of seed?

They were on Harrison's pellets for three years. An avian vet suggested to try that. It's very expensive but we wanted to give it a shot. It grew feathers faster but they'd both pluck them anyway. They've been on Roudybush pellets since then, like 10 years.

They have no seed here, but if they go outside in the aviary, I give them a large bowl of whole nuts.

No cooking here. 108 today

It was feeling like 110° at one point here today! Not spending much time outside
