Ribh's D'Coopage

I'm a little late on Caturday.

Peaches' babies are 4 weeks old today. I moved them into a kitten play area so they have more room. They are walking about and starting to play.

Peaches can easily jump in and out of the fence. This is the first born kitten and she has the biggest mouth too!

I can't forget Scoobs who just loves to chill.

A slightly warmer morning here today but the sea mist is hanging around.

Looks like the background was drawn with pastel chalk. Really cool

@MaryJanet : We have mist again this morning. It is very fine but coming in thicker. At least it is warm.

I live in a desert. This is so nice to look at. I would want to be out water skiing on that.

It's actually not much good for water sports. It's shallow with strong cross currents & the wind bounces off the islands in all different directions. It's considered a really dangerous waterway.

So this is what winter looks like where you live? Man, do I get the short shrift!

My little girls are starting to pancake & bite the hand that feeds them...

Ceres has already had one serious attempt @ sitting...​

That is an awful lot of snow. As I don't like snow I'm so pleased it's you & not me.

@ACM: Have you started putting things back in the kitchen yet?

What do you normally do with your broodies? Let them sit, break them, let it run its course?
I am currently on my tenth broody of the summer with another threatening!

Normally I try to break them. They go in the small coop without any eggs & are usually done in 3 days. I am considering fertile eggs if my older girls decide to sit this year. My Wyandotte bantams were chronic last year but they are 2~3 yrs old this year & determined so if they go I will try for eggs.

Ceres went ferile before they got locked in their run & had 6 eggs in a hidden nest & had set before I found her. She is 1 of my younger hens & I'd prefer the younger ones not sit.
