I got to meet Sundance, her hubby, and their grandson today. Nice folks. I got to see her flock and some of their little quail, too. Soooo cute! It's always fun to see other peoples' birds. She has a gorgeous little d'Uccle and a frizzle, and a big, beautiful sex-link that tattles whenever anyone lays an egg. Lisa, it made me think of your BR, Violet. It was fun to chat with Sundance, too. Except you know that mask I was wearing for the sprayer, Diana? It didn't quite conform to my face, and I am now the proud owner of white nose hairs
Whew, you guys have been busy on here! Cynthia, I hope you get some good rest and feel better soon.
Lisa, I think it's normal for a lot of chickens to molt when Fall comes around. I haven't seen it yet with my flock, but I'm sure they won't be far behind the times. My EE roo in Tooele molted a little over a month ago, and now his feathers are coming back in, including the tail that dog took. Poor guy has some dignity again!
I heard someone singing the egg song yesterday evening, but when I peeked out back, I could see that it wasn't any of my three known layers. So, I figure I've got another new layer getting ready to start. My guess is that it's either the Exchequer I got from Cynthia, or else one of the Wyandotte sisters from Lisa (Lisa, can you believe Angel and Stevie are that old already?!) THere's a slim chance it could be my oldest Icelandic pullet, too, which is crazy. She's smaller than the Leghorn! But her face definitely has more red in it. I'm on the lookout for new little white eggs in the yard.
but anyway in other news my girls are in my new coop tonight. they had a little issue at first not wanting to roost on the roost, they thought they could all sleep in the nesting boxes lol. and then when they did get on the roost they were fighting more than normal and then half wanted to roost on me lol. but it worked out in the end. now i just gotta get the run built!
