I changed shirts before lock up....Took forever to get one pen of two cockerels to go in

Mine are usually inside on their perches when i get there, but they are all adults.

Do y’all see what I see

If you're talking about a pip in the lower left egg, then yes.

Morning all

 

[Anansi]

Morning, and good night. Coffee and water are on, crepes, quiche and French toast are made, and there are gluten and dairy free versions of each.

I've discovered that Lizbeth likes the final performance at the end of the movie Pitch Perfect 2. All of the birds like movies and shows the kids and I put on, but not so much the ones DH watches. I find it funny, except he doesn't change the channel when they let him know they don't like what he has on. I listen to them and if they don't like it, I compromise, which doesn't happen that often. They tend to like shows about destruction and human suffering, as well as most of the shows one Nick Jr. They like animated and colorful stuff, and the parakeets have s picture book that I turn the pages of every few days. The favorite is Paw Patrol. Yes, I buy children's picture books and movies for the parakeets and chickens...

Have a great day. See y'all in a few hours.

Morning everyone!

Oooohhhhh breakfast!! YUMMY! Thanks Anansi you sweet breakfast making, book buying, tv sharing wonderful person.

CCCRRRRAAAAZZZZYYYY night here.

Everything started out normal, but then most nights do.
At 2:30am hubby and I are woke up to blood curdling screams coming from the back yard. The coop in the back yard......at least it seemed.
I jump out of bed stepping into slip on shoes. Hubby jumps up and grabs a handgun. I keep several flashlights in the drawer by the door so grab two. This whole time the screaming is going on.
The dogs charge out the door.....it leads into my shop and their kennel. They head to the kennel and us to the coop. I have flood lights out back and turned them on while running by that switch.
The screaming stops......I expect dead birds and a predator. I grab a 3' long 2x4 on my way into the coop while hubby in bare feet, underpants and carrying a gun heads into the run.
Over half my flock is not in the coop!!!!!
They were in the run pressed against the auxiliary pop door.
Weird both pop doors are closed. How did they get out there????
Then I recall not closing the doors at all.
Weird they ARE closed.W
Hubby in bare feet and underpants herds the birds through the now open door.
I do a head count while keeping an eye for injuries. The birds don't seem upset.The

Then the screaming starts again!

I think its from my other coop. The coop with my beautiful cochins!!!!

Hubby says NO its from the neighbors yard.
I head next door to alert the very soundly sleeping neighbor. Hubby is standing on my wooden chair in the veggie bed to keep a watch on their coop for whatever predator may emerge.

Their birds are ok although shaken up. Their pop door was also open and their is no lid on the run.

We did smell skunk out back and have several times the last month or so.

Todays project....... Check my run apron, beef up any weak spots in my entire set up.

I think It was 4am when I made it back to sleep.


I never want to hear that kind of screaming again. Horrifying!



Did I mention that my hubby was barefoot, in underpants AND carrying a gun?
funny NOW.

Aw man the egg that piped yesterday died. Never went any further that’s strange. Went to bed expecting a chick woke to a dead chick in a shell
