Welcome to my pond - Swim, wade, or sit on the bank

I think we are 50s today. . Typical spring.

Bushes and such finally have their leaves all of the way out.

Ponders good afternoon one and all!

Have a great day!

I'm out on my lily pad to enjoy some down time.

Soup made from rat?

Guess bad joke from my end huh, never tried it either.

Chicken noodle soup becomes ‘rat tail soup’ the entire month of October here.

I really like the buff/warm color range.

It will be interesting to see the feather pattern on the adult feathers

Is anyone any good at identifying game chicks? I have four that came in a box of welsummer chicks I got at the auction about 3 weeks ago (so around 4 weeks old) they all look the same to me except the one I believe to be a roo. and yes, I was aware there were obvious not welsummer chicks when I bought them, they were only a dollar each though so I figured what the heck

The suspected roo.

Morning ponders
hope you all are surviving this miserable weather. Ridiculously hot and now sticky here in the northwoods. Enough with record breaking already. Give us our nice cool northwoods back please. Poor chooks! Had to add a second fan in the coop last night to get them to stop panting. I have no idea how those poor backyard flocks in the city are surviving this year surrounded by all that heat holding concrete.

Breaking records here in NJ - put a canopy over my lily pad this morning - good morning, Pond.

can't catch a break!

How old was the hen?

And yes... when one body part is out of whack it results in strains and pains in all of the other body parts. Careful stretching throughout the day can help.

Hi Al! Sorry for the delay. Haven't been on too much. The beautiful girl was 4 years old. Still young for a heritage breed. I named her Honey because of her coloring. She was a light, almost glowing blond with darker buff points. Not standard, but still a very large gorgeous girl.
Antibiotics are working and I was actually able to get my foot into my barn boots again. Yep. Stretching can help, I was forgetting to do that, thank you for the reminder.
