I have been enjoying everyone's photos & comments but life here got a little out of control for commenting on everything. The IT man came & I was required to look intelligent & ask intelligent questions on behalf of the man who has even less idea than I do. This fried my brain for all intents & purposes as I never use his computers or eBay or the scanner.

Today was more nasty bits cut out. Just call me Hatch~face the Pirate.
The clouds coming home were quite something though.
Thanks, @LozzyR. I much prefer to respond to each post when people have taken the time to comment in the 1st place but I just couldn't keep up with all the extra happening. And the surgery, minor as it is, has taken a heavy emotional toll. I'm behind on time with my girls too & that just won't do!
Good evening folks
Jeannie hope you feel better quicklyWe're up early this morning due to weather... multiple emergency alerts on the cell phone woke us then we got a phone call from the county telling us to take cover. A tornado touched down south west of us and traveled south east of us. Thankfully it stayed south. We've gotten 3.8 cm of rain in the last 3 hours with lots of lightning and a good dose of hail as well.
Late Autumn is favorite for heavy moults here. Get it all done before it gets cold.Torrential rain came through about 1am. The girls don't like rain like that but though the showers are still coming across the bay in short bursts most of the girls are up & downstairs. We have been struggling with flies in the runs since the drought broke as the litter hasn't been able to dry out properly. I'm considering some DE or lime. Plus Lavender is molting. Pale lilac feathers everywhere & one very peculiar looking bird!Egg production is way down so I figure a couple of the others will be joining her shortly. She was sure quick off the mark. We are only a couple of days into what is supposed to be Autumn ~ though you'd never know it from our temps!
Thank you.Happy Birthday!! Hope you had a wonderful day!!
Oh yes! Definitely! I'd much rather they molt now while it is still relatively warm than later when it will be cold & probably windy as well.Late Autumn is favorite for heavy moults here. Get it all done before it gets cold.
