Question: how big do spurs get on hens? Do they develop at all? Jerk now has two little nubs on the inside of her/his ankles. Maybe 1/8" long? I think Jerk is around 6 weeks old. I'll have to take a pic and post it tomorrow.

They are cute! They're getting to that rattty teenager look.

Oh, that dreaded time where each day you look at your babies and wonder who's a girl and who's a boy. Yes, my 3 pullets all had tiny spur nubbins. That had me worried for a while - but now they are laying.

Every day we wake up and look at the four chicks and try to figure them out. The "twins" no longer look alike. Cocoa is much taller, stands erect and is a take charge kind-a bird. Rocha stands like you would expect a hen to stand. Latte does, too. But, I'm hoping that stance is not an indicator, because Blackie, my little boy's favorite, also stands tall and erect and will on occasion chest bump Cocoa. At the very least, we know who's battling to be at the top of the flock. So far - Blackie's winning. Latte's at the bottom.

Hey CL do you have POL EE or OR for sale??? I have somebody looking for a couple.

Don't forget Tulalip. I been told they sell them up there.

The Oyster Farms out here on the coast get rid of nets from time to time, all the ones I have snagged are perfect...I have no idea why they throw them away ??????????

I can trump you on that one: something dropped a dead opossum in the very precise middle of the orchard, right on the path from my gate to the gate into the field on the south-west corner. I need to go bury it, but after my sunset run to the top of the hill to check on a sickly calf last night, and the emergency roof repair this morning, I am not enthused.
It's also started raining again, which leaves me even more enthuriasm deprived.

I have a better trump:
We had been choosen for a large elk calf to DROP DEAD right behind our house.....10 feet behind !!
And of course did not discover it until the rank smell alerted us.
By then it was far too gone to move~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
