wow, that is a lot more room- I bet they are rewarding you by pooing over every inch of it.

Okay, so now all the chickies get to roam their new yard with some sense of security... at least on my part.. I finished netting the entire top ... well, today we had a couple of incidents... a hawk flew over pretty low but the hawk was being chased by a mockingbird so he was distracted and didn’t notice the gals.. the gals noticed the hawk.. and went running! Then I watched the hawk making circles over the property behind us and saw him head our way... well, he saw something over there and dove for it... whew! That was close! Then a giant Great Blue Heron flies through the trees and you talk about watch those gals run!! ... it was pretty low and just looked enormous! But the funniest of all is when they hear a car horn!! ... and if a car alarm goes off you’d think it was Armageddon! I have no idea why they are scared to death of a car horn!? They ALL freeze!! Even the new ones.. so I wonder what that’s about

Oh. My!

Oh. My!

I’m telling you... try the car horn and see what happens! I love to watch them when they hear one!

Evening Jeannie

 

[Ribh]

Howdy, Bob. How was your day.

 

[rjohns39]

Boy you're up early today. So far it's been a busy day but tapering off.

Just ran out of sleep. Unfortunate as we have a couple of busy days ahead. Oh, well. Growing older has some strange quirks.

Our bees have been posted! We braved the rain yesterday to lug yet another stump through the yard & into position behind the chook house. They will arrive today or tomorrow & I have learnt my first amazing & bizarre thing about our new acquisitions: bees fly out of the hive backwards when first released. This gives them the visual orientation they will need in order to return to the hive. Animals just gobsmack me!
