Morning Bob!

Has the Fox been leaving your birds alone now?

They are all locked up. No more free range until I get her. The LGD will chase her off, but she's figured out his schedule.

Good morning! Tucks wasn't back on the nest this morning but Rene was sooo 50% success rate.

I'm going to have a throw it away day when Hubs goes on his trip! Spent a looong time yesterday looking for my weed eater batteries but couldn't find them. I COULD find the old set that dosent work and he won't toss over and over again. I did finally find them and their charger too so today is weed eating day, barring an unforseen catastrophe.

Miss May.

This morning she is up and eating snacks.

She has started doing a weird leg lift. It is just like a cat with scotch tape on the bottom of their foot.

I guess I will be foot checking her while it is light out.

No telling Henny, you'll either find the biggest bumble ever or absolutely nothing at all.
That's how it goes here at least.

I got my car back!
Almost 3 weeks but she looks great. And some poor soul was charged with cleaning the inside. The lady at the desk told me that and I said whoever it was needs a raise or a bonus. I practically live in my car and the week before the accident I was working in the day and at night. It was a disaster inside! Now it's as clean as when I bought it!

It is great the you have the car back!

Morning everyone.

Yesterday I had an odd observation.......
I went to get food for the birds. The feed store had a brand new shipment in.
There was someone there swabbing the chicks mouths to test for disease.

Never seen that being done before.

She was super vague about what they were checking for.

Color me concerned that it is VND.

vND was in Colorado recently. It makes sense that they are being tested

Not to be rude, but the bad advice astounds me sometimes.https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/first-hatchling-is-aggressive.1305130/

So far her feet have looked fine on Saturday checks.
Maybe her gigantic foot feathers are really bugging her.

Ok THAT I did not know.

I will be looking that up right away.
