M2H - so glad your chicken has returned safely
Also - the human baby pic was adorable
the chick pictures in the grid every week was a very cool idea
our tomatoes are still green also, but our peppers, beans, & squash are doing good

ok I need to stop now, after all this is a chicken thread... lol It's like pringles with me... I also have an Aussie ( the black dot ) that is awesome at herding and the Pittie tries to keep up... lol

MY TOMATOES ARE TEASING ME!!! Why is it nearly August and they're STILL GREEN?!?!?!

We have a volunteer grape tomato plant that has one cluster of 4 tasteless red tomatoes, the main patch is all GREEN! In atrueb00's picture of the cosmo and bee, I see a tomato teasing red. Does anybody have lots of red tomatoes yet?

The plants and fruit are doing great, but darn it-I'm ready for some red tomatoes!

I spent the first half of my life thinking I didn't like tomatoes b/c all I had was grocery store tomatoes. I had my first homegrown and it was a different world! There is nothing like it - I can eat them and eat them and eat them ....

I'm jealous! I LOVE tomatoes, zuchini, and eggplant on the grill. It's just not the same without the homegrown tomatoes!

Yay! So thankful she has returned! I had 2 jump the fence this morning for the first time, fortunately I discovered their escape right after it happened!

My Splash Silkie DITZY IS BACK!!!!!!!!!!

My DH woke me up at 6:30am -- he had gone out in our backyard beyond our fenced-in backyard, all the way to the end because he heard some crows crowing. Then he spotted Ditzy standing in the neighbors backyard! The have a picket style privacy fence, so she had slipped through. Besides wildlife, those neighbors have two large dogs that sometimes are out in the yard. Anyway, she wouldn't come to Jim, so I grabbed my blue Silkie, Smalty and some seeds and was able to coax her. I can't believe she is back!!!! We fixed the opening in our fence. I had been applying new chicken wire to the bottom of the wooden privacy fence, and a section with a small tree trunk had popped open.

Thank you for your support! It was comforting to know I had the thread to turn to last night when I was so distraught.

I am so upset. My precious Splash Silkie, Ditzy, from bradselig is missing.

...
I am hoping she will appear in the morning, but I know that's unlikely. I just can't believe that she disappeared.

I saw your other post about her coming back, I'm so glad you got her.

Yesterday I had my first 1/2 dozen day. Very exciting! In the morning, I adjusted the coop and then nest boxes. I made the boxes a little darker and more sheltered, and eliminated all blind corners in the coop, and now they're using all of the nests. Yay!

I think the new hens are my three RIRs. I'm still waiting for the GCs and my one EE.

one of my BR laid her first egg this morning. Once she starts laying consistently, I'll have hatching eggs for black star chicks available.

My Splash Silkie DITZY IS BACK!!!!!!!!!!

...

This is great news.

It was the Sumatra's that I didn't know what they were b/c I had not seen them before. Thanks! They do look a bit different. They are not the fluffy round puff ball style of chicken like a buff orpington at all. They are more on the long sleek side, but wow their color is amazing for the 30% or so that I got to hatch blue, the rest were black, white or only semi blue.

We have ripe yellow pear tomatoes and ripe cherry tomatoes. All the other have been green FOREVER. I am sure by mid to late august I will be up to my ear in tomatoes.
