Question: do any of you have any girls that like to sprawl out and take a nap? one of my BR's was sprawled out on the coop floor yesterday and I about had a heart attack.....until she pecked my hand, and strutted away. (I really need to take my camera next time I go to the coop)

Thank you. The date on the sign said 9-13, so it looks like the Eastern Michigan Fair.

There's been a few times I thought my chickens were dead ... but they weren't. Just napping. Flat on face, wings stretched out to the side and legs splayed behind. When I go over to poke them, to see if they are alive, they give me a look like "leave me alone" and return to their nap position

Ok....so it's not just my crazy birds. I can deal with that LOL

The dead chicken posture is very common, yet I constantly find myself checking to make sure that they aren't actually dead. I guess they just want to make sure that se are paying attention to them.

My granddaughter will be turning 13 on the 13th and each year I'm finding it harder and harder to get her something for her birthday. Last year I sent her a large bouquet of Peruvian lilies and she was absolutely thrilled. The amazing thing was how long they lasted. This year I thought I'd send her flowers once again but I wanted to one up last year. I'm not sure if she will like them but I ordered her a pair of socks. http://www.sockdreams.com/products/socks/knee-highs/toesox-striped-knee-high-with-grips

A bet she would like them! My daughter has always loved socks like that. Seems to be the thing with kids now too.

Opa, I am sure she will appreciate anything you give her. For some reason those socks made me think of "The lollipop kids" from the Wizard of OZ.
