[kajira]

Mira returned to the coop Friday evening. She's quite a bit smaller than all of her sisters/brother now but she's doing well and eating good. She has to find her new place in the pecking order now which is looking like the very bottom at the moment but she's not getting beaten up, just pecked here and there. She's still very people friendly though. She's learned her name during her time in the house and will come when called and hop up in my lap

You concentrate on getting that wrist back to normal; the mud will dry & the sand & gravel won't go anywhere.

Thank you my friend!!!

I had to go grocery shopping and even pushing the cart was rough. Yeah-no sand and gravel or I won't have a functional wrist to take care of my feathered friends.

Spot the chicken.

I'm training my great pyr's to protect the birds.

They are going on 4 months old.

​

​

​

our RIR hen kicked the dogs in the face when they tried to lick them. they give them a healthy berth now lol

​

The daddy of my single hatchling. lol he's so pretty.

​

they coexist peacefully, but my RIR is ready to nail them if they don't keep their tongues to themselves.

​

My billy goat out with my girls, and I think they might have gotten pregnant before I wanted them too they are too young, so i'm watching them very carefully and got a local vet's cell # in case of an emergency.



It was apparently hot....

​

​

Lulu and Sugar. (Sugar's in the pool.)

​

he used the rake to rake up some dry straw for the goats.

​

​

Okay, I'm done. LOL

Quote: Pickled quail eggs are bite sized snacks, laying or butchering at 6 weeks. Takes about 30 seconds to process one so not a lot of trouble. Plan on 2 for each person eating.

MAKE IT STOP.

Here's something I just saw.... It was an ad for roosters. The ad was well done and accurate, but the comment...!

Free- Roosters

*Stuff about breeds, temperament etc*


comment at bottom said....

"R these laying hens or meet hens"
