We're looking at 101° today. YUCK.

He looks like he's about to sweeten your coffee.
No kidding I have one that goes out of her way too poop in my coffee.
Got a mug with a lid...she avoided me for a solid week!

Just saw this post! Hahahaha! My cup was empty, but I will get a kidded cup.

Don't like my coffee sweetened!

I caught Picotee crowing today! So cute, but so pathetic! I will try to get a video later.

It is rather bittersweet when a chick crows for the first time. Were you hoping for a roo?

No, but it's no biggie. We can have roos, and our neighbor actually requested that we get one. I am a little I'll at ease with the idea of eating fertilized eggs, though (for religious reasons). But talking with a monk, I think the situation is worth it. Keeping Picotee will prevent him from ending up in a potentially bad situation. And not all eggs will be fertilized, nor will the hens choose to incubate all that are fertilized. I save one life yet interfere with potential lives. It's a Karmic trade off.

Getting ready to start coop #2 for the bantams. It will be small, and they will start out with their own run. I've already situated the separate run. I'll post pics shortly.

Unforeseen personal issues cropped up today, so everything has been put on hold for a few days.

In the meantime, here are the babies enjoying outside time:

Finally! Pics of my "run within a run." It's made to be temporary because in my chicken utopia, all of my birds will get along famously, and I will he able to remove the inner run (yeah, right).

I used horse fence we had in the garage and shaped a 10x3 area to keep the babies in and the big girls out. Everything is either cable tied or bungeed so I can take it out in a couple of minutes. Their coop is under construction. I had originally intended to just keep them all in the original coop, but I decided I'd just go with the second coop to make everyone's lives easier... except mine. I should have it finished tomorrow or Tuesday, depending on the weather.

These pics are from a week or so ago.

BTW: The pet carrier is how I move them from the isolation pen in the coop to the run.
