He didn't make.

Sorry Dan. Sounds like he had some sort of infection or abnormality that he couldn't overcome.

Good morning everyone I'm alive after my last infusion I felt so bad I was sure this was the end, but I pushed through so y'all are stuck with me a little longer

And we're SO GLAD!

It's always darkest just before the dawn. Hang in there!

Definitely true..

I don't think I have ever been what one would consider normal I perfer perfectly imperfect

That'll girl! Your perfect to us!

So it's eyelid opens but either there's not an actual eye there or it's really gunky.

Standing on 1 leg when you are this big takes mad skill I didn't have any feed with me so I wasn't even worth a hello from Huey...

Pretty boy!

I'll back you up Chris, just hacking back ivy at the moment.

Friday, out r ivy might just be generic old ivy but, it grows crazy wild! We literally hack it back each summer, it gets so out of control! Cool but, then it starts creeping it's way in through one corner of our kitchen window! Not cool! lol

are you going to flush it? (i mean the eye not the ling)

I can!

good gal - but what's Ivy ever done to you - poor woman

(not as bad as my turnip thang, but close

)

I thought that was a southern thang Chris...

Lucy you have some gorgeous birds!! and GREENERY!!! i still have snow i took this this morning

At first I thought it was real! Then fake! It's real????

he's big too the bears are out now, we've had a bunch of sightings around town many bird feeders destroyed

Yikes!!

Ok, I'm caught up. Hatch update...7 out, one zipped completely and then died! I waited too long to cut it open. It didn't have much of an egg tooth. :/ But the good news is that I have finally hatched another black/split to lav. First since my original set of them, over 2 years ago!

Awesome news! Pretty little baby, I'm sure!

Awe...Lucy, that's a beautiful picture!

Spent the morning cleaning up the forgotten area by my laundry room door. This is the second year I've been working on the ivy to get it flat against the fence. Looks a lot better, but I'm tired.

Oh geezs, response is somewhere above, in the wrong place...

I swear, I just need to give the flock up! Sneezed last night and threw my neck out, how joyful... made packing up birds to auction fun... get there and I dump a box of Call drakes... they took their freedom seriously...

Rav!! That's terrible! I'm sorry, at least it was boys....

Central NH, just black bears but they sure are a nuisance
the one that got my coop was also killing pigs and piglets at a farm a little ways away

Gives a whole new meaning to "what was that noise outside?" Dies hot wire, electric fence phase them?

maybe if they stick their nose/tongue on it
i have it for my horse and put it around my coop, but i think the wolf urine worked better

ETA, my friend has bees and uses hotwire coated with bacon fat to help with bears

So pretty!

I've been out cleaning too. Crap around the coops that I don't need now, trying to organize. My back is gonna be angry.
We also got the beds built for the veggie plants. Hope to plant those tomorrow.

I swear, I just need to give the flock up!

Sneezed last night and threw my neck out, how joyful... made packing up birds to auction fun... get there and I dump a box of Call drakes... they took their freedom seriously...

Geez, what are we gonna do with you... lock you in a round rubber room?

Can only imagine the calls taking off and yall trying to grab them
