So, these cold fronts keep coming through down here and with it high winds. Two days ago it got real muggy and gusts of 30+mph. Well long story short the gusts knocked over a pallet fence that I had built and trapped two of my hens under it. Unfortunately, I did not see this and it was at least 3 hours later that I came across the fallen pallet. So, I lost two hens.
That same day a co-worker of my wife asked if we could keep a chick. Her young son went to a birthday party and apparently the hosts gave out week old chicks to the children. Had to set up the brooder for this little one.

I think she thinks you're her rooster. After I scratch my girls saddle she ruffles her feathers and goes about her scratching

That's funny cause I look nothing like a rooster, nor do I sound like one! Should I take offense??

I suspect I will be the closest thing to a rooster my girls will ever see. :^

Oh my, my heart melted when I checked to see if my girls all made it into the coop and the doors closed. Princess came running out of the coop and squatted right in front of me. So I gave her some scratches and picked her up for a hug. Then I had to toss her in the coop before the door closed. I should have held her longer and reopenned and closed the door for her. She is getting so attached to me and I to her. Funny cause she use to irritate me with her loud voice.

Well now I have heard everything. A chick as a party favor. Oh my.
