Official Squatch Watchers

Good night all. I just got the Milk Drinker to sleep about 30 min ago (not surprised because he didn’t nap until 5:30 this evening). Going to sleep myself. I think I need to do a census of my main flock soon. The chicks are the easiest to count because they flock together.

I’ve noticed that the chick that hatch together stay together even long after they have been mixed into a big flock. Have y’all noticed that

Well hopefully you haven’t tried her eggs

My two Welsummers are loud!
I do not recommend them if you want quiet hens.

I have two welsummers also and they are pretty loud and also talk constantly.
My loudEST one though is my australorp. She’s also top in the pecking order.

@smuv said they were getting ready for DH to be away I think and had a lot of prep work to do for the next few days.

Lol! I wasn't expecting all that, I'm going to have a blood blister she got me right on that soft fat under the arm. Hope I tasted awful!

They always getcha on the soft spots !

I just made a sad discovery. One of my 11-12 week old chicks is missing without a trace. My FIL said last night that he chased 5 of them into the mobile coop but the 6th one had put herself away. While I was making dinner, I looked out the window and could only see 5 of my chicks. We looked all over the pen. Nothing. The chick that is missing was one of my BSL pullets.

I think she got taken sometime yesterday or avoided being herded into the coop last night and was taken overnight. I think a bird got her, since we can't find any signs of her.

Wow. That is sad.
I hope she turns up.

I thought I would share one of my projects.

I made a quilled nightlight. The little sheep are made from thin strips of paper.

Gosh that is really cute and shows what a gentleand patient person you are.

I don't think I've ever posted pics of my parakeets here. I only have 3, so they would probably have plenty of room in that house.

Golden Campine was my first thought.

Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear.... Looks like we're going to have a very loud flock! Not that I mind

I'll share some chick pics as soon as I get some.
