The woods are getting thick and they are getting hard to see. How Roger survived out there all day I have no idea. If Wal-Mart knew she was loose they would be selling coons and foxesOK, I do remember! not much goes astray here and returns. I have to keep circling when I let them out. counting... the Fosters and Royce stay together with very little mingling (except for Royce) unless I have treats, which I normally save for "go home" time. there's 11 of them altogether. 10 now that 1 is brooding. kept counting 9 today and had to go look for one. once it's was Fannie, aka Bakery, which is seriously unusual. she's usually glued to Royce, making him find her some FOOD! she is at his beak almost constantly or at his side in the bath. she roosts next to him too... but I found her in the lower branches of the pine. no needles and her barring... she blended in. the other was in the road, taking a gravel bath. I got that picture. and a bunch of others. first is the way way back of the dogloo, where I found the stash of eggs. I have a nice led flashlight with a magnet, I stuck it to the inside pipe of chain link, works great to look for eggs in the massive community nest.
day 3 for the Broody One, and her Sister, who thinks she should be hand fed too. Now. no I mean like Right Now.
did I mention I collected 26 Eggs today?
Lavender Orps................ YES!!4 of 5 Seramas are broody now!I guess it's a case of be careful what you wish for. Sadly, that only leaves my tiniest hen to lay fertile eggs, and they are slow in coming. She's so testy I expect her to be warming a nest soon.
I had found a local lady hatching Cream Legbars and was going to get 2 pullet chicks today. Unfortunately the lady got her incubators mixed up, and the Legbars aren't due for almost 2 more weeks.She does however have English Orps hatching today (blue and lavender) and Light Sussex. Guess I will try a few of these (twist my arm!), but sure don't want the sad task of dealing with unwanted roosters. Lavender English Orpingtons!
