What did you do with your flock today?

[Conan]

Only nutters do.

I had nettle leaves on a pizza at a restaurant once. It was delicious!

Nutter. J/k.

That mama hen with the 3 chicks is about the cutest I’ve ever seen. It'd be a great one for the calendar.

I'm now a Zoom teacher with my 75 5th graders!Thankfully not all at once! In between classes I took in some down time in the backyard hammock with my girl Lucy.... who loved it and fell asleep.

Cute pic!
75 fifth graders? Wowza!

I was thinking I wasn't exactly making an argument on behalf of normal people after I posted that...

She is the very best broody, and mama. Completely tolerant of my constant meddling.

I almost fell asleep in an armchair with three two-month-ish-old Japanese Bantams on my chest. They snuggled up against my face and chin after a little bit... it was very calming and sweet....

People eat it?

Yes. It’s very popular. When you catch it when it’s young it’s not even stingy.

How do you keep them from pooping on you?

 

[Sapphire Sebright]

Uh... luck? I don't know -- they just didn't seem to have anything ready to go, I guess.
One of them -- a little pullet that I named Paska -- poked at my nose... the cockerel, Kirby, was very mellow, while the other pullet, Hrutka, was quite a loudmouth.
They are the cutest things....

Yesterday was decent, but today is cooler and rainy.
The ducks don’t mind the rain, the chicks will come out for treats.
I’ve been hatching chicks for the past few days, so yesterday, today, and tomorrow are sell days!

The flock looks good!

When I went to put my three chicks to bed, I heard no peeps anywhere even after calling them. After cleaning everything for them today I was devastated that maybe the latch wasn’t fastened on the gate and they got out. My husband got the flashlight and we looked inside the coop...there they were, all snuggled in by themselves. Such good little girls -they put themselves to bed! It’s amazing how much you care for them after three months.
