What did you do with your flock today?

[kurby22]

@Luv Ducks I’m glad you’re here! I love hearing about other birds besides chickens! Someday I plan to have call ducks because they are tiny and adorable They aren’t practical in my suburban neighborhood but some day when I have acreage and cows and goats, I will have all sorts of poultry!

I won’t go into the whole long story as it’s late and I should be sleeping—but Axel is showing signs of improvement and I’m very tentatively hopeful. Last week he couldn’t walk at all or move his right wing…today he actually stood up on his own for a second and walked a step and his right wing partly flapped. I have been giving him vitamin B Complex for about 1.5 weeks and it’s paying off. He also ate a bunch of scrambled quail eggs I made him today and some chick feed. Fingers crossed he’s even better tomorrow **Note to self, don’t use medicated chick starter for longer than 4 weeks

I enjoyed the coolest morning we’ve had in weeks this morning and took a couple pictures. Such good birdies and had to throw in a couple pics of my kids and the pets!

Oh WOW, Beautiful Chicks and Child too!!! I am so glad to hear that yours is doing better. Glad you got a cool morning too and hopefully your weather will get better. We are heading into the 90's here and I am dreading it. My Ducks have plenty of shade and get to take their daily baths so they seem to be fine at this point. Thanks for sharing those beautiful pictures, I loved them!!!

Oh, so you tried that already

Yes we did but I actually did not participate because I know what a distraction it can be for the driver. I felt bad for our new boss but they were just breaking him in for what he was about to encounter, lol. He survived and I was glad. He's a good guy.

Thanks for sharing those beautiful pictures, I loved them!!! I loved your cat too. My friend is getting one of that type in a few days that is 4 months old. Do they make good pets and did it get along with your other pets. She has two dogs and another cat to go with it.

I got my new babies today!!! They are just so small! And to be honest there is one that is just so tiny. I got 6 French Black Marans. I only ordered 4 girls and 1 boy but there is an extra. They marked the boy for me. But the extra could be either I guess. And he is so obvious, just looks so much different than the rest. It wasn’t until after I said “I bet that is the boy” that I picked him up and there was the marking. Didn’t even know they would do that!

2 of them had a rough start but are doing great now!

Beautiful babies!!!

Good morning gang!

@PJ, what is growing well in your big beautiful garden this year?! ♡♡♡

Oooooh! @ChicksnMore I love a good follow along project. I hope you will PM me b4, during and after photos. I know you are probably not happy with how it starts but those are the best photos to look back on. Love to see and be inspired by where your creative genius takes you. ♡

@kurby22. l o v e l y ! My practical self is crushing on the ams and the DBB cockerel. Terrific job and super good news your boy is having an upswing ♡♡♡ kids are awesome as always!

Welp @Luv Ducks . I had the pleasure of visiting Ohio during the summer 1-2 times and thought it absolutely beautiful. Of course being toured around anywhere is always pretty cool. I hope it does not get too hot for you and the ducks today but remainds completely unenjoyable ☹ before cooling into winter.

Congrats on the new babies @FBMcrazy8 most exciting adventure! A few more months and you will be FBM self sufficient! My guess is your + 1 is a gal I mean, logically speaking and I hope I did not just jinx it right?

Well, kind of a rough morning for me. Got woken up by the alarm dog @12am. Had those 2 cute pooches back in our yard, one trying to get on the lanai again. Me and the cats attached ourselves to the ceiling with Elliotts first initial alarm crazy. Just kidding, they scrambled under beds as I clamored for flashlight and jacket but my goodness ... Took a few times to get the dogs gone and cats coaxed back out. Did not sleep well as I wanted to be on the ready.
I did have a "conversation" with the dog owner a few days ago and asked that she tie her dogs up or keep them out of my property as I have chickens and well... nuff said. They had chased a few wild pigs through that day... anywho, she... they.... I heard a baby... are squatting at a tree house left by an old property. Why-o-why she would bring her baby and why-o-why would she cop and attitude with me when she is in the triple wrong ? Possibly just a hippee adventure but she is not supposed to be there. And well, I have not called DLNR but I may today. Unsupervised dogs wandering freely makes me nervous to say the least. Afraid to leave my chooks in the run let alone unsupervised. Anywho, maybe I'll go try and have another "chat" and just keep a loaded pellet gun for when dogs come back. So much more complicated that way. lol.
Def not enjoying my time much yet but probably just getting used to things. Not many walk/hikes cuz dogs and plus gave myself food poisoning lol. Just trying to stay close, rehydrate and do chores... and this too shall pass.

So there is today's fussy gripe lol.
Other than that, flock is awesome!
