Potentially the person is new to forums and isn't recognizing the age of the thread?

It turns out it was a project of someones. It was on purpose..I don't like it though

Pictures!
This one is looking towards the north and the coop. You can see the original size of the bed is about 6X8. I've been able to keep it mowed by moving vines around but now that is in the past. The vines are rooting as they grow. I swear they grow a foot overnight.

Tonight I found this squash. About the size of a basketball!

This is one of the vines taking over the orchard.

One of the little white pumpkins! The leaves are HUGE!

Finally the gang dozing outside. Turbo on the left standing watch, then Delta, VeeDub sitting on the right asleep and behind him is Echo. You can barely see Delta and Foxy, the other two pullets. Diesel the other SDW cockerel is in the coop along with Charlie the BBR cockerel from that hatching. I wove the jungle gym for them to climb on from saplings and thornless blackberry canes. They love it.

Thanks @room onthebroom. I do too which is a good thing because like roosters it looks as though I'm going to have a lot of them!

Candled my broody's eggs tonight for the first time. She started with 8 eggs. 2 were duds and one looked like it had quit recently. I could see the embryo but no movement and no vein development so they were tossed. The other five all looked to be developing per normal.

I wish I could send you mine. Poor baby lost his mama 2wks ago & is all alone in a no roo zone surrounded by mean girls. He will be so beautiful when he feathers out. It breaks my heart on so many levels.
