What did you do with your flock today?

Well, that means more hope for a pullet right?! If nothing else, look at the difference in legs size and diameter... 🤔 a clue?!
Yeah, that is what I have been using thus far in assuming female haha. She goes from being a for sure girl to "are those pointy and flowing like saddles?" I was hoping for at least one pair for possible chicks...buttttt sighhh perhaps that is wishful thinking? ha! Oh well, time will tell :D
 
Happy Sunday all!

@ChicksnMore & @kurby22 BEAUTIFUL birds (and scorpion and sunset ♡) Incredible beauties and fabulous shares.

@FrankieDoodle how are the babies? How are you feeling about your pigeon housing? Will you breed again?

My honey decided to come up on Friday afternoon so I had to switch gears and clean up my sewing mess (threads all over the floor lol) and make dinner. I ended up twisting my ankle helping dh so no walks for a few days ☹. He left after pancakes yesterday and I got back to my sewing. 7 more bags- and my best yet despite the condition of the bags, just stored for a long time and wrinkled. I figured out a few things that work for me and my machine- which is fairly new to me (in the closet for a few years after craigslist purchase) got some of our bugs worked out plus better quality and useful tricks. Very happy with my direction. Feels good getting better at it.View attachment 3230528View attachment 3230530
Headed down the hill today. Broody should be in lockdown.. . Almost expect to see little faces ♡ may be able to lock down the incubator, Little Man's person should be showing up around noon and I am going to show him how to worm his flock and I can drop off the mulch I grabbed, though still have not decided if I will take my truck or just scoot down as it is supposed to be a nice day. Rain dh told me about... 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️ was not a thing.
I also really miss my buffs and pullets. .. and I get to watch my guy Miguel Pupo win Teahepoo! On YouTube. Been spying this kid with great style and humility for awhile and this is a great win.

The babies are doing pretty good. A few days ago I got the rest of the bands replaced, so now if they escape there's a much higher chance I'll be able to get them back again.

I would love to hatch more!! Especially now since I have two pairs. The second pair is still a little too young to lay, but when she does, it'll be tempting not to let her. I don't have room for more, and my dad might just kill me if I even mentioned upgrading. XD

On Friday I picked up some ice plant for them, so I'm hoping I can build a few shelves on the outside to put the plants on, that way they'll have a natural, edible curtain. Nothing I plant lives, so we'll see how that goes. :fl


I love your bags! that's such a fun and creative--not to mention useful, too!--way to reduce waste. And I love how each bag has a different design! What do you do with them after you're done? Do you sell them?
So dh sent me this last eve and I promptly told him he should not move her off her nest. He is learning ♡♡♡View attachment 3231979
Good thing it is 88° out but don't want her squishing chicks or humidity Flux.

I will scoot down today to do a check and change bedding if I can.
They're so cute!! 😍 I adore that chunky one on the left. Congrats!

Oh I hear ya sister and know your pain lol. Well, I'm not gunna jinx it but maybe if you plan for the worst you will be pleasantly surprised 🤞😁💕🤞
 
Hehe, she is a good girl! Our first "kid" as a couple back in 2009!

Yes, I just love my chickens! They are all just the best birdies :love I just wish they would all be bulletproof from illness and issues :(

Also…I am starting to think my frizzled Polish girl is a boy after all. It’s SO hard to tell with the feathers! They are almost 6.5 months old so I’d expect more sickle and saddle looking feathers….but she’s also sort of smallish and may just be a bit behind…thoughts?? No red on the face really…no real comb but sort of a small one that is still pale. No crowing…but Spider doesn’t crow much either! :confused:

Wow! No idea on sex, but either way that bird looks ready for a fashion show!
 
Oh my gosh @kurby22 I'm just dying of cuteness 😍 just adorable. And those boys are D R E A M Y.

@FBMcrazy8 even better. If she does not really care then your true confessions will blow through her head and she probably won't think a thing other than you are weird or have too much time. Then just tell her about @Gammas chicken cam 🤣🤣🤣 and you will be off the weird hook.
Love the application lol and love that you dh will extend. Love that man's heart!
Lol this is true. She has everything free ranging and 2 dogs roaming around there too. I’m sure she did a lot of training. But to free range I’m sure she has had some losses.

He is pretty awesome! He would do anything for me. Especially cause he wouldn’t want to give up any either.

Love the ice plant (akulikuli flower ♡) idea. Very pretty too!
Cracks me up about expanding- your dad's patience! 😂💕
I need to improve my sewing skills b4 I would seriously put my bags in a shop, (I see awesome bags on Etsy for $8-$15 😮) but I keep getting asked about selling them so think I may be onto something...? We shall see... I better keep practicing my patience. Love the awareness and the recycle. It is a win right there.

K. Made it down. Nice ride, a few-notsogreat- photos 20220822_101713.jpg 20220822_103445.jpg

Beautiful pictures as always❤️
I'm in love with the little white one that's peeking out in some of the pics...though this time I think that's it's tushy! It must've had enough of exploring for the moment!
