Surviving Minnesota!

And some birds...

These little Buckeyes and Mutts are really friendly... They sit at their cage door when I am working in the coop.

I have been thinking of doing the same waterer!! Great Idea Holm...

Right now I am running low pressure lines...a pain in the rear..

These are the easiest waterers to make too! And CHEAP!

What do you think of the little Dom pullet in the first pic? She was squatting in her cage when I reached in there today. Her tail doesn't look like it had the nice u shape to it but she gets scared when I go into her cage...

The DOM looks good, I have found the nice U shape takes them a little time, the girls seem to need to be 8-10 month old before they learn to hold their tails properly...

I forgot to mention...

I have babies.....NO idea how many..

I was in the shed and heard a noise (movement) behind the weight machine (which I use daily)

When I looked back there, I found a Appletini with a single chick. I thought something had gotten her as she as been gone for a few weeks. I picked her up and moved her to a cage. She seems happy. She had about a half dozen other eggs, but she laid them in a plastic box sitting kitty corner in a cardboard box, the eggs rolled away and under the box so she could not sit on them..



Also when doing chores, GC came out. She was lost about 4 pounds in the last 3 days. She appears to have something sucking on her nipples. She did not seem upset or try to run OC off. She was standoffish to me, but Judy picked her up and she wanted to be held and petted by her for about 10 minutes.

We decided to not try and find the kittens, as she would just move them and we really don't care if they are friendly or not. As long as they kill small furry critters, they have a home here.

How many of you have Cream legbar roosters????

I might need to "borrow" some in late Oct for a couple days of R&R in Hutch...

I think I asked this here before, but I am not sure.....old age and all..

When is Hutchinson?

Holms those are nice photos, but I notice that there may be some of Ralphies least favorite birds in the group ?
