Feedman....did you get your new chickens?

Holm....have you had another date with Mabel?

The birthday girl stopped by this evening. She made her mom buy a box of raisins so Daisy has a treat at the birthday party. :rolleyes: I'm giving Daisy a bath tomorrow in preparation of the big event. I did tell her aren't staying long. Need to get Daisy out of there before they start grilling. :/

R2elk...amazing towhee pictures! I've been invaded by a flock of yellow finches stripping the berries from my hollys. Boy have they been fun to watch. Sounds like your girls are all occupied on nests. Do you leave the poults with the momas to raise? Of course I'd love some baby SS pictures! :)

My SS rooster was a good guy. Not mean. But I never encouraged much of a friendship with him. The hens are a different story. They are so friendly. You can't avoid them. So Feedman, hope the SS rooster isn't a jerk.

The Towhee down here don't have spots. We have a nice group living by a huge oak at work. Wish I had some in my yard. I do have a male Cardinal who is feeding a young Cardinal. Haven't seen the mom Cardinal. Just dad taking care of this very vocal young bird. Fun to watch...

Feisty...what's going on with the Bourbon Boys & Turkules? Did you find homes for some of them?

I'm feeling left out of the Broody Bunch. Neither of my girls seem like they want to go broody. Not complaining, mind you.....:lol:

Ralph...I can only imagine what those girls are saying! :lol:

Don't ya love turkey vocalizations? My favorite is that little happy hen chirp. Especially pronounced when they are in a dust bath. Or their purr. Daisy & Annie spent over an hour in their dust bath yesterday afternoon. Wasn't paying too much attention to them when Daisy hopped in my lap without shaking the dirt out. Geez! Neighbors were down last evening with cocktails. I had just locked the chickens up for the evening. The turkeys joined us. It got darker & darker...both hens found a lap and settled in for the evening. I swear given the chance they would have just settled down for the night. Had to put them to roost in the dark. I think they preferred the laps. :rolleyes:
