Our Mixed Flock Journey!

Dale cooked up the 3 eggs I brought in. One was a double. It wasn't even a large egg, closer to medium.

Gave the girls a healthy protein treat today of Honeybee drone larva. They devoured it.

Happy Friday! Well, I'm trying to be happy. It looks like I now have 4 cats and none of them were ever mine.
This girl showed up while we were gone. She let's my grandchildren pet her and pick her up. She jumps up in your lap, she tries to run in the house and I think she is pregnant... Pretty sure someone dumped her. People are so irresponsible.

What am I supposed to do, she's so sweet.

Just keep her. How do you think I acquired some of my cats.. Yes I did loose 2 recently due to age,, but I have replacements. Don't have a ready picture of the most recent,, but here is one that arrived about a year ago. He usually stops by for dinner, eats, and then, goes visit others. Sometimes he sleeps overnight, here.

I'll keep her, she's a sweetheart, but I can't keep all of the kittens. I hope I can find homes for them or a shelter will take them. There are so many feral cats out here, it's heartbreaking.

There is a program in our area called TNR.. Trap,, Neuter,, Return.
I had my cat done, and they ear-tipped them to indicate they were neutered. At that stage, they are protected (by law) from the dog/cat catchers that would take to euthanasia.
Look into it in your area.
I know there are no dog catchers snooping around your farm,, but a neutered cat is trouble free from then on.

Thank you Cavey!
We have something similar here. I've had others fixed. It's very hard to get appointments, they are months out. Just having this girl come to us pregnant overwhelmed me a bit.

This little girl was starving when we caught her and her brother. He was too sick and didn't make it.
