Ribh's D'Coopage

Good morning Jeannie, how's your Saturday starting out, my Friday was crazy busy, but it's finally done... I think.

I swear it's always something.

My layer flock is eating every single gosh darn egg that is laid!! I'm ready to lose my mind! I'm going to start with giving them a higher protein feed. They are currently getting layer feed.

I'm also making roll a-way nest boxes. Plus I'll put a few golf balls and "loaded" eggs with mustard.

My neighbor called the boro not even 10 minutes after I let my flock out yesterday, so I can no longer let my chickens run in my yard. They all have to be enclosed. I'm so angry and defeated. I feel like I could just get rid of them all and not even care.

So sorry you're dealing with that, but Jeannie's right a run or fence is your only real option.

We have a cold snap about to hit. Blizzards waaay down south. Still plodding along on toilet & bathroom & now the lad's gone home again leaving us with a hole in our outside wall...It's 15/16 outside but the wind's from the west & that's always unpleasant. The cats have come back inside & the girls are all cuddled up in the sunniest spot in the run.

You have a great morning and day, it's time for me to indulge in an adult beverage.

I have a birdbath on the verandah for a reason. Our chances of seeing who visits is waaay higher. Just now: Blue~faced honey~eaters & Lorikeets.​

The Lorikeets are nuts.​

They get right in & wallow.​

The dark one on the left is Claire’s (Barnevelder).. the dark on the right is Big Mak’s (Cuckoo Marans) ... the green is Kelly.. EE.... hopefully the new flowers (EEs) will lay even more variety ... but they have about 10 more weeks to go.. give or take...

I hoping you get some EE colored eggs.

You could video tape them when they are out and have proof they did not cross over the property ljne. That might reverse the situation and get her in trouble for false reports.

Thanks, Bob. The mum this is for doesn't read here & has been pretty inactive while pregnant so I don't think I'm about to spoil her surprise.
