Uggg...the girls are fighting. Found them in a head lock. Threw them in their pen & am now hiding in the house. I hate this. They have bloody faces.

So am I the only one with fighting hens this time of year? Is it because we have no tom?? It's so stressful for me. I just hate this....

Girls were not fighting when I got home this afternoon. They look horrible. I'm not taking them for a walk this evening. That would be all I need....two turkeys hens brawling in my front yard. Or someone reporting me for hen abuse.

Seems our yearly fight is over. No head locks yesterday or today. Keeping my fingers crossed they are over it.
Feedman, glad your overtime is done!! You may be right....I'm blaming the guineas.

Awww...just peaked out the backdoor. Daisy is sound asleep in the sun. Head tucked under a wing. So sweet.
Don't see Annie....hmmm....hope she didn't run away from home.

Found Annie. She was enjoying a dust bath. Boy her head is all swollen. Seems Daisy came out ok. Annie looks horrible. But I believe the fighting is over!!
Just read an article about a homer pigeon being auctioned for 1.4 million dollars. Belgium breeder, Chinese buyer. Apparently the homer pigeon thing is growing in popularity in China. The stakes for a winning pigeon can be over 100,000. And....this is NOT the first million dollar pigeon. I was stunned over the money these birds are bringing...and winning! How rich must you be to spend a million bucks on a pigeon?

A pigeon! The more I think about this the more gobsmacked I become! And the pigeon looks like every other downtown pigeon. It's not fancy or particularly attractive. For a million bucks I would expect a dapper looking pigeon.
