And some wild turkeys we saw when we went to visit my father's grave. The pic shows less then half the flock that was there...i think it's the biggest wild flock I've ever seen.View attachment 3290866
@TropicalBabies congrats on your stand!!!!! It looks amazing. You guys sure did a great job building it!
If she isn’t a leghorn than I’m not 100%. She is bigger than my brown leghorns but I have tried to compare her to what she looks like vs what Cackle has. She can be pretty mellow but she is one that will stand up to the rooster, well at times. In the morning they are all running from him. But she will challenge him during the day and is normally the last one in the coop. Or she will just stand at the door so I can’t shut it. And if I try…she jumps out. But I would have to say my brown leghorns are worse than she is. They got the names Lilo and Stitch because of how they act.Oh wow! She’s beefy for a leghorn! I’ve heard they have really fun personalities, but can be a bit saucy in a flock? Is she saucy?
They are!!! The 3rd one, which I forgot to stare her name, is Snow White. I tried to stay with a Disney theme. I have considered naming my roo Gaston but Yin works better. The next roo can be Gaston. Even though Yin acts like Gaston.Oh fun! I have a splash Ameraucana girl too, named Marshmallow
We are working on his behavior. He isn’t doing too bad really. As long as he doesn’t attack me or my kids, we are good. He won’t even survive if he attacks my husband. He would leave him be though if my husband provoked it. Which he did once cause I needed him to catch him for me so I could make sure he was alright. He had a funny look to him but it turned out to be just the way his feathers were laying.
I hope to hear it goes well for Hope! It so good to hear she is doing better! That is just fantastic news! She’s a tough one!We finally got that moisture that has been hanging to our North and South. After the early morning rain we had high clouds all day with warm sultry conditions due to the coldfront to our North cutting off our trades. Humidity is 79 this morning. Nice to have a change from perfect sunshine
Glancing out my window this morning I see the supreme being (Spider) with his head held high watching his domain and its inhabitants. Beetle being one of them, in the center of his buffs and pullets tidbitting and looking content. How lucky am I.
Hope is healing. Infection seems to be gone for some time now, swelling has gone down considerably. I am considering letting her mingle with the crew. Just want to make sure it if beneficial and forward motion. She had a long haul and came out of it without 1 eye. Poor baby. I know she will be fine, just feeling a little protective of her. Yes, I think today is the day.
Ahhh poor Hope! I feel so bad for them when they are so sweet and suffer. :-( Poor Fluff appears to have gone blind in his right eye after his nasty dry pox. So he is now super afraid of everything and can’t navigate real well. I’m hoping with time he will get more comfortable with his new normal and be okay. I now have Honey and Fluff together as my handicapped babies in with the chicks and young pullets. Poor Honey is STILL going through her hard molting. I’m sure it would be faster if she’d eat more but at least she’s not stressed out by healthy and active chickens.We finally got that moisture that has been hanging to our North and South.

I have a Daisy too!
I went to open Hope's door and I swear my whole folk converged. So, I shooed them out and closed off the garden for Hope to wander as she will without the pressure of a mob. Guess first things first. She has been in the roo coop for at least a week now IDK, time has been flying.Ahhh poor Hope!
