The Old Folks Home

Then on to the pen with the older kids. There are also a couple of younger kids in there.. I thought for sure I had latched the door good and had my back to it.. but they started sneaking out behind my back.. Oh No! K.E. and his ladies were out.. and here they came.. Got K.E. and a few of the ladies back in their pen before disaster struck.. meanwhile the kids got the zoomies and were running all over the place. No herding them back in.. then a car horn blasting away in the drive. Neighbor had brought me fresh cukes from her garden. Take them in the house, grab bread for the chicks and start bribing.. Eventually they all were back in the pen safe and sound. The two older hens that were still out wanted their fair share as well, but never even thought of hurting the young ones..

This is my little Crow in all his glory.. Notice he's a short tail? He's a son of King Wheaties and Raven (K.E. offspring but not from Mara), where as King Tut is from K.E. and Mara (BCM)

Success! After sitting a little over 6 weeks, Mara is finally a mom. I had to rob her nest after 23 days on the first go round.. whewwwwww what a stinky mess.. but she continued sitting on newly laid eggs by her pen mates... today is day 21 on the second attempt, and here's a first peeper peeking.. One of Bonnie's, my BO, I'm sure.
