Our Mixed Flock Journey!

You may rethink that once you see this video of how mean mine is. It is quite disturbing.

Spoiler: Sucker Peck

I know you were upset by this behavior, but I was seeing the video through the eyes of “America’s Funniest Home Videos”, and I have to tell you, the way the Mean Chicken looks in the camera before doing the deed just sets it up!
This footage is actually kind of funny (as long as no one was injured.)
That being said, your idea of building a new space for Phyllis and maybe another polish or two might be the answer.

What kind of automatic pop door do you have that closes upon power failure??
I have Ador1 and its battery operated.

I also have the Ador. I am big fan of it.

I, for one, am NOT going to say “don’t get more chickens...”
I am the one jumping up and down shouting “Yes!! Yes! Get the Wyandottes! Get some Lavender Orps!!!”

Lol! I'm getting 2 Legbars, 1 Wyandotte & 1 Orpington...when I'm ready to hatch my own chicks, I should have plenty of broody ladies to choose from...
I already have names picked for my Legbars & my Wyandotte...I need to come up with something for my little Lavender girl...taking into account that she won't stay little, if she's anything like my Ophelia! I also think I finally have a different name for Roo 2...he's needed his own name but it just never came to me until now! I'm going to mull it over until I get the new littles!

My husband's aunt woke up...they were pretty amazed that she did. Sadly & not surprisingly she can't speak, but she seems to be understanding what is being said to her. She will be moved into a rehab facility, so there won't be any visitation right now. We will take dad up to visit whenever visitors are allowed. Thank you all for the support & concern shared!

Thank you Debby, me too. Although the night was already half gone for them by the time I'd figured it out. They kept me warm as I picked them up...it's amazing how much heat they put out.
On my way out now to see what's going on with the power & to reset the timer for the door. It was midnight and I knew they'd be fine if their door didn't open as early as it normally does.

Whew! Good thing they decided to crow in the middle of the night

I know...the boys were having a crow off with neighbors roosters...

I love when TRUMP does that! He goes back and forth with my neighbor/friend from across the streets rooster. I would tease her and tell her that her roosters name was Biden and that they were debating .... she did not like that.. she said if his name is Biden then she will fry him in a pan

Well that’s good news! It’ll give everyone more time with her.. I’m sure that makes Dad happy! That his visit won’t just be to see her after she passed..

If his name were Biden...I wouldn't touch him with a ten foot pole...I think I'd get indigestion...

That's what I'm hoping for! It's so hard to come back from a major stroke! I just want her to be happy and feel loved...it will be hard with her in a rehab facility. I know my mom was really feeling isolated last year when she had to go back to rehab for another hip surgery.
