I wasn't around when Skeksis was, and she seemed like such a fun little bird.

Here is Morinth, my broody. I get her off the nest three times a day, and she eats/drinks/scratches every time. She's such a sweet girl, never pecked me for checking her or taking the other girl's eggs. Maybe next year...

Make that four

Wait for me to make 5

Unanimous. I didn't know Skeksis but I'm sad whenever anyone has to give up chicken tending. I know I'll be sad when I can't do it any more but hopefully that won't be any time soon.

Skeksis was an incredibly unique bird, both in looks and personality. She was quite intelligent, too. She imprinted on me day one out of the egg.

Skeksis would have been 5 yrs old today. I miss her so damn much. I've never had such a close bond with an animal, and probably never will again. This clip is a few years old. She was telling me she did not like the squirrel she just saw running on the edge of the coop roof.

Thank you for sharing that lovely video.

funny enough I just posted about that on the UK thread.

I am late, but sad for your loss of Pinkie, whose crowing I think we all remember.

For a lighter note, even though I had no internet for the past two weeks, I have been thinking of you everytime I see Merle on the March page of the BYC calendar. I happened to hang it in the toilet, as I already had calendars in every other place, so I smile at Merle's macho pose often throughout the day.

Thank you for the kind words! That's funny you keep a chicken calendar in your restroom.

The BYC chicken calendar is on our fridge, but we do have chicken presence in the bathroom. This was a gift from DH a while back.

It's not my business and I don't know much about you but if my partner prevented me from doing something that made me happy they wouldn't be my partner for much longer.

I wouldn't put up with it either.

Ex Batts good morning one and all!

Tea is ready.

Temperature is in the 30s.

I don't understand what has happened to our weather.

Have a great day!
