That's exactly what I need! I think I'll try engraving one and brushing a bit of paint into the grooves. ThanksI have one of these. It will engrave whatever you want to write free-hand. Wont wash off or peel away ether.
Good luck Pyxis. I sure hope they are successful.
Anybody else working from home? Or on lockdown??
Lol, he looks so proud to be a ugly little naked thing in this one!Here's him from the 25th to 27th to today
Lol, maybe she won't be able to sneak out the door as easy for a while now that she is missing her "rudder"Naughty hen makes narrow escape!
#743, a 2018 hen raising yet another set of squeakers,(she is Doo's widow, now paired with Lonan), yesterday barely escaped a hawk attack. She has been very naughty, determined to slip out the people door when I go in the loft. Even when I am expecting it she manages to get by me, being a very agile flyer. She flew thru a gap no wider than 5 inches recently when I had the door nearly closed! So when she gets out I release a few others so she's not out there all by herself.
Awhile later my brother told me he thought another of my birds was taken since there were a lot of feathers in the road. He and I walked over for a closer look (I always get a bad feeling in my gut when this happens). The amount of white feathers made me think it was 743. Oddly, there was no blood observed. The feathers were not in a pile, but rather strung out in a line along the curb for about 20 ft. There were not as many feathers as I might have expected. I did see some tail feathers...
I peeked inside the loft and came face-to-face with #743 who roosts just to the left of the door. Eyes bright, alert posture, no blood visible from this angle, … I breathed a sigh of relief and thought that's good enough for now.
This morning I knew I had to find out which of my birds was missing feathers. While she was perched in the aviary it was easy to see she is missing every one of her tail feathers, leaving a smooth, pink, bald patch on her bum! By 'she' I mean #743. I guess some times it's better to be lucky than smart. LOL
That's my hope!Lol, maybe she won't be able to sneak out the door as easy for a while now that she is missing her "rudder"
Now you can rename #743 to HoudinaShe has been very naughty, determined to slip out the people door when I go in the loft.
