It seems like the changeable weather this time of year really affects all the birds - yesterday was sunny, pleasant and 45, today 34, cloudy with a blustery strong wind. Thank goodness for central heating.

Likewise here.... we had 90's - and a west-facing thermometer said 99 day-before-yesterday...oppressive heat when you aren't used to it. And...yesterday and today 45-55 and windy.It seems like the changeable weather this time of year really affects all the birds - yesterday was sunny, pleasant and 45, today 34, cloudy with a blustery strong wind.

These chickens need a talking to about the perils of being a big slouch. Thus far they are the worst producers I have ever seen. Born in Oct. -- Wonder just how they were raised... Big chickens - nice plumage - no eggs. This is their third week here too.
Love Cattle Dogs. We had to put our 16 year old Stu down last year. My husband took it hard. But we have another one now - Bravo, he's not quite a year yet and a lot of work. But they are amazingly smart dogs and wonderful pets. Bravo needs some maturing but he's a gorgeous dog. When we first got Stu no one knew what he was and my husband would love taking him out with him. They were really best friends. Stu was a truly amazing dog and I miss him dearly. His ashes sit on the mantle in the living room and my 4 year old will sometimes still talk to him.Bella thinks she knows Everything, and wants everything to run on a schedule - hers. She has that superpower ESP stare that herding dogs can have. And requires 30 minutes a day of dedicated toy chasing, not letting anything like furniture, cats or other solid objects slow her down. But she is very friendly and social, and pays absolutely no attention to the chickens, rabbits, squirrels, or any other animal except one (but only that one) of the neighbor dogs who is NOT allowed in our yard for some reason. Truly a great dog. Oh - she is also deaf.
Herself with the flock:
new GFF CL chicks:Congratulations - now you should post some pictures of your chicks!
Strangely if there aren't other roosters (or predators) around, my one CL hardly crowed at all. You may luck out. He isn't crowing much at his new home -- in a city BTW-- and is really a good guy - albeit pretty big and hefty for a Cream Legbar.
