The wild turkeys video was awesome.

On the "up" side I am giving Lukka the cream Legbar eggs and her daughter the Isbars. Then I don't have to put them in a brooder. If Kelly's girl hatches a chick the young Lukka will get it and Lukka will get all my eggs. I know she can handle the job!

No extra chick coming from here. The egg vanished yesterday. No sign of it being broken, but it's gone just the same. Stupid hen.

Kel, loved your photos, too. Reminds me, though, that I cannot hike like that anymore, not since breaking my ankle and having a plate and all those screws in there. It's my favorite exercise and I use to hike just on my own little mountain on trails that Tom cut with our poor abused mower years ago. We used to live in Colorado and Utah, so know that scenery so well. Georgia's mountains are so much older so they are worn down and more huge tree covered hills, but I love those craggy mountains and high altitude.

Thank you. It was a challenging, but very fun trip. The pictures really do not do it justice. It was amazing to stand up there and look all around.

What wonderful photos. I was hoping you would be posting some.

(yes, I'm a little behind on the thread)

Welcome back and thanks!

Mary, I needed your camera last evening. My son said he saw a hawk roosting in the tree by the covered run. So I go out there and find a juvenile vulture. It's head was still gray, not red. I couldn't figure out why it was there, and then it occurred to me that the fly trap smell probably lured him in.

Confused boy.

Kelly!

Your flock has spread the broody fever all over the foothills, including the Buck 'n Run Ranch!

This morning:




No, she's not just adding to the other's nest. She was there last evening when I closed up. I prayed she was just laying an egg. By nooooooo.

Then this in the project coop.

But I'd still loan you my camera.

That's hilarious Mary. Better you than me! I'm hoping I'm done with broodies this year.


BTW, I might have to hit you up to take pictures of my wellie eggs for me. I want to fill my egg skelter you gave me with wellie eggs and take a nice picture that shows the egg color.

A pox upon those Broodies!

I do not let mine know about broody fever. So far only my SG Dorking has gone Broody and she is a flake.....

See I don't sell eating eggs and want to turn off the incubators so I'm hoping everyone goes broody and gets it out of their system for autumn.

I gave a broody turkey
4 broody silkies
2 broody marans
3 broody showgirls
And 10 girls raising chicks ATM.

And a whole bunch of sad roosters...
