Our Mixed Flock Journey!

[drstratton]

Looks pretty good to me. What a lucky fellow he is.

Thanks Bob! He seems to be doing well, not too stressed. I'm sure he will be happier when we can open the door for him again. We're hoping that he will decide that the place we built for him is home...but he does like to get up high in the tree!

Such happy news. So glad to have you posting again!

I'm enjoying them very much. Doll Baby will be a challenge, but we'll take it nice and slow. Cocoa has a motor and snuggles that won't quit.

It's good to connect with everyone , but it will still be sporadic.

We have all of the tree's down and our son dug out all of the stumps...now we just need to get rid of those.

I'm working on bringing my mom up here, my nephew and his wife helped me find what sounds like the perfect place for her. We are going to look at it on Friday. It will be so much nicer to have her nearby, I will be able to have her with me quite often, but I know that she will be well taken care of when I can't and they will let her have her little dog there.

This sounds just wonderful. There is nothing like having family close.

It's been very hard leaving her down there. I haven't talked to her about the move yet, I want to go see the facility and meet the owner first. I'm pretty sure she will be excited about moving closer. She will probably be here with us for at least a month, but possibly longer. The wheels turn slowly.

Hi everyone! I'm sorry that I've been gone so long. I hope you and your families are all doing well. I've missed each and every one of you! I will be checking in on everyone's threads on Wednesday to say hi! I don't think I will ever catch up, so I will just have to jump in where you all are now!

This year has been quite crazy! We've been traveling and we finally caught Covid and then traveling some more! We had planned to go to Florida for our Anniversary...had to cancel and re-book as that's when we caught Covid from our son. He was super sick, hubs was better than him and I was better than both of them, but still felt pretty crummy. After that we were able to take our Anniversary trip. Then we went to OK for our grandson's 2nd birthday...I can't believe he is 2 already, he's growing so fast. When we got home I helped with a huge estate sale for my friends who are both in their 80's. They had to sell and move into town do to medical issues. After that I did a brunch for all of the ladies that helped with the sale, to celebrate our beautiful friend. I really miss having her close by, but at least they moved into the Tri-Cities, which is where I do all of my major shopping. We just got home from a fishing trip and brought home 20 trout, it was very enjoyable. I will be on Jury duty next month and then I will be taking a trip to go see my mom! The place we were hoping for her to move into did not pan out. Hopefully we will get her up here one day. Needless to say it has been a roller coaster ride.

I gave Coco the kitten to my friend...he is one spoiled kitty. We finally had to let the other kitten loose after neutering, it was getting angrier and angrier in captivity.

The Flock is doing well! I lost one of my Welsummer girls after she laid a 4oz egg, it was huge and just too much for her, I was so sad. The girls have all of their feathers back and the boys are just as Cocky as ever!

We have a new addition...we finally got a mate for Shyam. We just let them out for the first time today since we brought her home and they are loving the yard. Shyam was really showing off for Neela, she seemed very unimpressed...lol!
Making a turn!

Am I not Majestic!

Eh, you're okay...

One last thing for this post. One of my good friends is a Florist. She took the feathers that Shyam shed last fall and made an arrangement for me. She gave me the vase, she said she's had it for at least 20 years and is certain that she held onto it just for me.

I'm uploading a couple of videos to YouTube of Shyam and Neela. I will post them as soon as they are ready.

The display is beautiful, but the sound is amazing. Poor guy, trying so hard!
