I got the Pretties dug out of the snow today. They did great through the storm.

I found one of Phoenix's tail feathers today. It was clearly stuck in the step of the ramp. This is the first tail feathers I have found from him yet.

That coop is the Pretties. I can hear them making their happy noises to each other, but I can't see them. The table to the right side of the roses is covered with untouched snow. That is how much we got, at places it's over my knees...

That's way too much snow...but the pups look like they are loving it!

We have chooks all over the place. We were out today so Wrold nested undisturbed. When I went to throw her up on a roost for the night I found her crop completely empty! Mad!
So I dragged her inside & fed her her dinner with added vitamins & got her to drink a little water before tucking her up on a roost with Medh. Such a silly girl. She was absolutely ravenous But went to bed with a nice full crop. She decided that she needed to roost on my arm to eat, which was jolly uncomfortable all round.

Here she is spooking about a cat. The cat couldn't have been less interested.

You're so good with your chickens...I'm glad that you got her to eat!

Oh she is! Now my little niece in the other hand just got into some trouble at school. I am sure there must be something more going on because she is also a very sweet kind kiddo. We talked a lot over summer and she was really saddened by the George Floyd riots and all the issues that were going on in the States. She will be 12 in March. She wrote a Christmas card to a boy she likes and called him a “jerk” and she also wrote two letters to boys she doesn’t like and threatened them. She even got a go between to deliver the notes to the boys. Smart, She still got caught though. I think there must be some bullying or something going on, as this really isn’t like her. She won’t explain why or what the boys did to prompt her letters, so I’m torn between being proud of her (if they are being bullies as I suspect) and being worried about where she learned this behavior (I always assumed it would be from me, but I’ve been here for three years so I can’t be the source) chicken tax: I covered the awkward chin part of this pic...View attachment 2453464
This little girl knocked on my door, I gave her some meal worms and shooed her back out. Then she flew straight into my door about 5’ off the ground. She wants into the human coop... looks just like hers. Chickens

I hope everything turns out okay with your niece...12 can be a very hard age!
Love what you're doing with the neighbor girl...sounds like she needs a lot of love!

Great chicken tax!
