Hey Feedman....those quail are so darn cute. What will you do with them all?

Arm is getting there. Went to the surgeon Friday...4 week check up. Apparently the elbow is the first joint to freeze. So he told me i don't have to wear my brace. Still limited with what I can do, but the reasoning is to bend it as much as possible. Guess with three plates & untold screws it wont come apart. But i didn't realize that he had to cut through a muscle in the back of my arm to access the breaks. So i cant push anything yet. Its kind of weird, sort of floppy. The scar is nasty. Oh well....ill get through it! Sorry if i grossed anyone out...

Feisty...i cant believe Big Bird! Hysterical! Poor chicken! Hopefully you can get a pic!

Aurora, a friend of mine has bees & sells the honey at the farmers market. My gosh it good! I thought R2elk had some hives...

JR, I took R2eks lead and also use a board leaning up against a coop wall. Mine use it.

I'm guessing both are hens too.

Ugg...hot as heck down here again. All fowl are panting. Even with all the fans & wading pools.

Ralphie/Holm....when does Mr. T make the move?

Feisty...been there. I ordered 5 Speckled Sussex from a breeder. He said he could feather sex. I ended up with 5 roosters. The two packing peanuts were hens.

How are you liking the Sicilians?

Daisy is a pool hog. She stands in the pool, spreads her wings, and sits down. Effectively blocking access for other fowl. If any get too close she stares them down. I think shed st in that pool all day if i let her.

They look good JR!

Daisy saw a hawk. She fluffed up & did that whine. Every chicken slowly sank to the ground. I was sitting next to her & didn't see it at first. I got up & wandered around looking through the trees & still didnt see it. I figured she was being overly dramatic. But she wouldn't quit. I FINALLY saw it, ran toward it throwing sticks & it flew off. It was high up in the canopy. Always surprises me how good their eyesight is!
