But you don't act like it and that is the key

Good morning,

That's impressive. How big is it going to be?

Good morning also, this section will be 12x16 foot and I'm gonna add the same on one side when I get some more money!

I was sitting here drinking my coffee and reading forums on backyardchickens when I heard something on my porch. I figured it must be the chickens since I had put out some leftovers last night for the cats. Well the noise kept on and then I remembered that I haven't turned the chickens loose today. I had to go see what was on my porch then because cats don't have tickety sounding nails. Look what I found.




There were 5 when I first went to look but by the time I could get my phone on (and why the heck does it need to scan media files EVERY time I turn it on!) and ready, these two were the only ones left. I didn't know that my leftovers would attract buzzards. Stray cats yes, but I didn't think they smelled that bad.

AWWW... I love buzzards!

We used to have a "resident pet" one.. named him Charlie.. he used to come when called because he knew he would get some raw meat if he showed up...


I've wanted a baby one for years.. but it's "frowned upon" here in Texas

From what I saw it looks like I have different breeds. One had a really bright read head, one had a grey head, and one had some really pretty markings around it's eyes that were almost blue. It was a surprise to find them on my porch this morning, that's for sure. But now I know who keeps taking off with my cushions from my porch swing. I saw one trying to drag it away. I think it's because it's a faux leather maybe. I don't know but it was strange seeing them try to take my cushions.

ETA If they leave a baby one on my porch I might have to bring it to you. I wouldn't have a clue what to do with it.

Good Morning!

I love watching them soar over our place. They are so peaceful to watch. Mom always said I belong in the sky--I sure hope that was what she meant.

Cleaned out the brooder again (cat's mistook it for a litterbox

). This time I decided to rearrange. I added a couple of small boxes of different heights. I added a new perch that sits on a diagonal so it's a little more challenging than the straight perch but it goes up higher. All in all I made it so they could have something different to do. The first thing they did when I put them back in the brooder? Bury themselves in the bedding, get 'lost' behind the box, and spill their water all over the place! I guess it's time for a bigger waterer that our fat chip chick can't knock over.

That's nice! I love the creosote poles. Those should last a while. I was thinking of using some railroad cross ties. GREAT JOB!!!
