Yah, I know. He's one year old, and now follows me around rather than spending time with the flock. Not actually touched yet, but there's no way I should sell him, and small to eat. I'm keeping two of the new EE cockerels , and this one will be gone soon.
I've never had one who's quite like this; almost asocial as far as the other birds are concerned, and focused on me, but cautious. For now. I think he's got to go.

Maybe he just doesn't think of himself as a chicken. Is he actually aggressive?

 

[Folly's place]

He's approaching from the rear, now flaring slightly, and looks away and/ or pecks the ground if i turn to look at him. He rarely if ever calls the hens over for goodies, and in fact pecks at all but one hen, a hatchmate. So he wanders around near but not totally part of any group, so odd.
If he was approaching me from the front more often, or if I'd ever made a pet out of him, it would make more sense to me.
GAH!!!

Back from running some errands. Stopped at TSC. They are still running chick days. It's been going on since February. At least the chicks were being taken care. Not like it was last year after I quit. I didn't buy any.

Stopped at work to pick up some more paperwork for the surgeon to fill out. Talked to my manager a bit. She was surprised to see me. She made to hug me but pulled up short, COVID thing or company policy, IDK. Anyway, she was happy to see me, said I was missed. And my job is waiting for me whenever I'm cleared to work. It will be Aug 17/18 when I see the cardiologist and surgeon.

So for the time being I am off and relaxing at home. (Tractoring is relaxing BTW). I'll be sky watching every night hoping to see the comet and the dual meteor showers. Everything is going well. I feel like a million bucks. Going back out to give the 2 flocks some treats.

Be well my friends. Enjoy it all.

Driving!?
I thought open heart surgery took longer for the sternum to heal than, what, a week?

I drove myself home when I was discharged on Friday. I just use the heart pillow under the seat belt.
I'm surprised that I'm recovering so well and so fast. I'm going great. Hope it continues.

The pain disappeared as fast as it hit me, No pain meds were used.

Got 'floaters' in there....tiny torn up tissue gets in the wrong place and hurts like hell.
Common here.
