Don't listen to Diva. Black is slimming.

Here's a wartime song to serenade to your girls! (warning, the music intro is almost a minute long)

Maybe it will get a late starter laying!

'scuse me. I thought camo was camo. Didn't know butterfly camo was special.

Changed my avatar pic again to one without glasses! Plus it has my camera in it!

Sorry I'm late but I like your new pic!!

And we've had the wettest, foggiest summer I can remember. It was awful. Makes me very happy to see it go.

Mary, you inspired me to change my avatar. Not sure I'll keep this one, though. That is my Pocket Penny, my lovebug Belgian D'Anver hen as a pullet. I loved my Suede beyond reason, but he's been gone one full year this month (hard to believe). Guess I need a fresh look for awhile. I keep one of his super long sickle feathers hanging on my car visor (23" long) .


This is Penny now, at 2 1/2 years old. She turned white bearded and hasn't laid an egg in a year for some reason.

What a cutie-pie!!

Deb walking through the yard is one thing....when I lived in Oregon I found this outside my coop one night around 11:00 ish....

Background: Noises from coop so I grab jacket, flashlight and walk out to coop....coop sat in clearing of a wooded area about 2/4 acres from the house. Look through coop and see nothing, look around coop and see nothing but the hair was standing up on the back of my neck so I keeping scanning with the light and went up a tree....sitting on a limb about 6 - 7 feet above me was the cat.

Knowing I could not outrun it and knowing it had me no matter what I decided since my camera was in the jacket pocket....take its picture so when hubby found my mangled body he would know who did it.

I should add....Kitty did not like a light in its face and did not appreciate having pic taken....






Kitty thankfully let me back away slowly and collapse on my front porch and it never bothered my chickens or coop. It came through my garden by my living room window every day twice a day....it hung out in that tree a lot at night and I suspect it was waiting for bunnies and other tasty treats to stroll by. But it scared the crap out of me.

That is amazing...above you in a tree!

SpeckledHen, I just LOVE your new kitchen!!!

It looks awesome!!!

Thank you! I'm very pleased with the kitchen, too. And my Pocket Penny is my angel in the bantam coop, but then, those D'Anver hens are all super sweet, at least when they get to laying age. Penny has been my buddy since she was six weeks old.
