What did you do with your flock today?

I have kept my 6 gals locked inside the run for the last 3 days with no outside yard time for them. Worst mom ever 😆😆😆 Going to toss them some chopped Papaya to make amends, though they will remain locked up, for no reason other than giving the yard a break and for my convenience.

Nice day today, feels a bit cooler than usual.

Still getting very few eggs.
They are on strike from laying until you let them roam, lol 🤣🐓❤️
 
What a commotion this morning! Birds woke me early this morning with their carrying on. Did a little walk around but nothing to see except excited birds. Not a single dog barked or chased anything...they thoroughly explored the chickens area and found nothing. :idunno
The birds are still at it. What a cacaphony! I'm wide awake from it and my dogs....are snoozing 😴😂. But they're snoozing with the chickens so I'm going to go drink my coffee that's surely cold by now. 😂
That’s how mine sounded when they saw the BOXES in the lawn 😆

Must’ve been something fleeting that had them on high alert! A bit of a heart racing way to start your morning though! 🤪

It is! I should have known if the dogs aren't excited, I shouldn't be either...but I had to go explore everything just to be sure. 😂
 
Today I got the eggs from the girls and that's about all considering the weather. Rain and wind BLUH. I'm staying in the house for the remainder of the day.
I feel you there! I just went out to check on the chickens, especially the babies, because it had started raining just a bit. One of the babies had escaped the run (she’s very tiny and just slips right thru 🤦🏼‍♀️) so I was trying to catch her and return her to cover so she didn’t get too wet…and the sky opened up and just started DUMPING. I chased her towards the run and had to climb thru a tree and there was so much water I couldn’t see and took off my glasses to wipe my eyes and she just vanished. I gave up because I was wet all the way thru my clothes and the water was running off the lawn like a river…and came inside. 15 minutes later and no rain, so I go check for white baby and she’s all huddled in the run like she’d never left! 🤪🤪🤪 So she’s fine and I’m…

What did I do with my chooks today?

Well, I chased them away from my work area inside the barn every 60 seconds. The extremely high winds here kept the chooks inside the barn all day; then the wind blew down my temporary panels for the outside run - will fix that tomorrow - so just as well they were inside.

Meanwhile inside I was working on replacing stall walls in the section of the barn I am renovating; and of course all 30 chooks had to inspect every move I made, while leaving slippery little deposited on the brick pavers.

But they had a blast so I guess that is the most important thing!

LOL 🤣. I can just imagine. The rain hasn't been bad but still I get crouchy when I get ill especially a headache. My husband tries to help me but I just turn into the devil and he gets upset because he wants to help me but he can't because I don't care for anyone trying to help me. It sucks but that's just the way I am.

Hope you feel better ❤️
 
Today I gave the birds leftover corn on the cob. Some of my current flock has never seen corn on the cob before. One of them was terrified of it. The rest of them wanted me to pick the kernels off for them. Spoiled birds.
They would have to stink to be spoiled. LOL🤣
