Our Mixed Flock Journey!

[drstratton]

No need for you to feel guilty at all, enjoy your spring!

DH is here and doing a bang up job clearing it a bit at a time.

Husbands are great that way aren't they!

Yes ma'am!

I would have had to wait and let it melt sometime around May

I hope it's gone sooner than that!

So Spazzy girl laid her egg and then she decided that she deserved a nice dust bath...she did get a pretty good one in, then some of her sisters decided to make sure she knew that she was on the bottom of the pecking order! Flock dynamics are so fun to watch, she gets pecked by one and then that hen gets pecked by another and round and round it goes...lol!

Morning Rene (or afternoon I guess)! We have a bit more snow on the way but nothing like what we got Fri/Sat, we got 2 feet! Here are a couple of pictures:


DH dug a path for me to get to the coop

This is the alley behind our house, you can see some drifts almost as tall as the neighbor's 6' fence (that's a 4' tall chain link fence 1/2 buried)

I haven't seen this much snow fall at one time in years. I think mud season is right around the corner.

Holy cow! I've had those storms. They make life difficult. I hope that you are doing well and stocked up with food and drink as needed. Stay warm and safe.

Another first! Marquis decided he needed a dust bath too, I've never seen my roosters do this! He's not quite as good at it as the girls are, but he seemed to be enjoying himself. I have to add that he was back to normal with me when I went back out, he actually followed me over to the dust bathing area and then casually started his bath! At the beginning of the video you can hear Ophelia, she has a deeper sound she makes, then she throws in a Pip sound, which is my nickname for her, because she makes the Pip sound a lot!

Thanks Bob! The day before the storm hit we went to the grocery story and got everything we need. I think most of the town did the same, busy day at the stores for sure.

Gosh, can't a lady just bathe in peace.
