Morning everyone.

I was out feeding chickens.

Good morning everyone have a good day

We finally have rain in the forecast!!
Not until Sunday but it is still there!!

Lots to do here....lots!

The city is finally fixing the rules regarding heavy vehicles parked on city streets.
That means both hubby and my son can park their work trucks here!
I need to work on the fence for the side yard. That gate is broken. We will replace that fence and I can park the pickup there so both tow trucks can be right out front.
It's important really! The guys have a limited amount of time to report on scene for police calls. This will help a TON.

Hi Henny, hi Misty!
Hey misty, that puppy doesn’t look like mine but boy does he embody his
“Enthusiasm”.
Great news Henny!
I had an accident a few years ago on I-95.
The state police officer knew a tow truck guy and called him from his cell phone to get me and my dd out of their before I -95 for shut down for hours due to an overturned tractor trailer a little ways ahead.
He got there lickety-quick.
I really appreciated that.

One show was too much

One commercial is too much.

I saw the cylinder done as a cone but think the cylinder would be much easier to make.

The cone would make it tough to get the bird out. With the Cylinder, the bird is usually so focused on moving forward and away from me that they don't think about flying up.

It’s morning, I’m the only one here, where are my early risers?
Huh?

Hello?

ok.... everybody must have left for work or is out feeding their chickens -except Sam who’s off today...

Lets start this day off happy people. (I’m clapping like a coach-mostly for myself)

I was pinned down by a Milk Drinker who was trying to do nursing gymnastics.

Hey! I remember those!
Got a fat lip from it too, many times!

He nearly broke my nose once. He's restrained his gymnastics when I started abruptly removing him and setting him down for 5 minutes when he got to wiggly. The worst he's taken to doing recently is putting his little wiggly fingers in my armpit. He gets flicked on the knuckles for that.

I thought the same thing about the cones. I figured the bird would dart out as the cone was tipped to grab it.


I need to go feed my sons dog.

It's obvious when she didn't eat. She is down right snarky.
I know she had food offered. I also know she can be a tater about refusing it. For some reason it's more appealing when granny says eat.

So on a kinda but not really TV-related subject, I have a new favorite "program" on chicken TV. I call it "Bubbles and her babies go to roost." It is a comedy. The funniest I have ever seen lol, so of course I must attempt to describe it to my friends.

As you know, my momma hen weaned her three chicks about a week and a half ago. I was very sad at the time but things have been going very well—everyone is very healthy and generally getting along. Anyways, when Bubbles stopped mothering the babies, she went back to roosting in the main coop. The other hens are still a bit hostile to her but there is an unused roost bar she can use and I set up a little cardboard barrier to shield her from view a bit and prevent the others from harassing her (Thanks for that idea @Chickassan!)

Moving back to the big coop earned Bubbles approximately three nights of peaceful sleep. Then, the babies discovered where she had gone. They also realized there was plenty of room on the roost bar for them. Now, every night, there is a 30 minute comedy show in which the babies cry non-stop while battling each other to see who can get closest to mom. This probably sounds a bit sad but it isn't: it is hilarious. It is like the chicken version of every family road trip ever taken. "Mom, why does she get to be next to you? Mom, I want to be under your wing too! Mom, he bit me! MOOOOMMMM!" Bubbles tries to escape by moving back and forth on the bar. She even tried (lightly) pecking them to get them to go away. It has absolutely no effect—they just keep snuggling closer to her. I missed last night's episode but hubby reported back that when he went to close up the coop, he found Bubbles resignedly perching on her bar, with a pullet crammed under each wing, and Roux sitting on her back She eventually managed to buck Roux off of her but the girls were like little barnacles and stayed put. Roux eventually gave up and settled for smashing in next to one of his sisters and that was all for the night. Chicken TV man. Best. Thing. Ever.
