What did you do with your flock today?

[FrankieDoodle]

Your chickens are beautiful Frankiedoodle, is the second one an Americana?

Thank you so much!! No, she’s an Easter egger.
Welcome to BYC!

Unfortunately she’s at the HS, so I don’t think that’s possible. : ( she’s the only silkie there, too, which I think is a little weird. A bunch of other chicks were all brought in at the same time as her, and then around that time around 19 hens were brought in to a different HS in my area. I wonder what happened.

Me too! Thanks!

Awesome, thank you! I know it’s not guaranteed, but this makes me feel a lot better if I’m able to adopt her lol.

I wonder if someone without a lot of connections, or more birds then friends, family and neighbors could take in, passed away.

Yeah, that would make sense. There’s a lot of chicken people in my area.

Also I checked again a few minutes ago, and now she’s listed as male. : (
Edit: nvm, she’s no longer listed.

Sad!!!

Sad!!!

Yeah. I guess it wouldn’t have worked out anyway, but still. : (
Apparently there was another silkie there after all, same age, but he’s and obvious boy.

That’s such a bummer!! I suppose anything girl gets snatched up fast! So sorry!

My rogue naughty quail was finally caught tonight! Woohoo! I decided that his name should be Houdini, cuz he must’ve used special magic to survive for two full days in our backyard without getting found by the rats, the new feral cat visitor, or the dogs during the day! Plus none of my chickens seemed to care at all that he was hanging out in their space! He ended up back at the quail pens wandering back and forth trying to figure out how to get back in them! Guess he figured the door magically opened to let him out, maybe it would let him back in too! I figure he’s earned his keep after his harrowing two day adventure

This afternoon I went to Lihue town to pick up a tool box for DHs b-day present. Checked my chicken cam at the gas station and C&B were out of the run. Ugh! A few minutes later I check again and C was back in the run, I check again and the neighbors dog was loose wandering by the front deck and B was hanging out with him oh my heart. Guess it must be the season for escape artists and good luck.
When I got back to Kekaha DH and I strapped a pet carrier to the back of his bike and rode up to bring them home. They did great.

It was mine and Boo's first ride all the way up and down the mountain! and 1/2 of it in the rain.

I brought Peaches down too ♡. My stay up Koke'e is almost over and it is time to start the reintro of flock, figure if I do a few at a time I will make thing easier on myself.
Right now I have a broody mom, 2 broodies sitting, 18 eggs in the incubator, 17- 2.5 week old chicks, 1 hen in ICU with eye infection, 3 in meet n greet... and 9 up Koke'e. I'm gunna be hopping the next few weeks.

@FBMcrazy8 hope your trip today goes well and your daughter has an amazing time

Hi from South Bend!! 2.5 hours one way for basketball is a long ways!! Hope the game is enjoyable and worth the drive! I hope he did too! I haven’t heard from the pet sitter though

Everything went GREAT yesterday! Better than expected really. And yes 2.5 hours is a long drive for a football game but since our dog was also meeting her boyfriend it all makes that drive worth it. And actually the dogs hit it off so well that they were ‘tied up’ in the first 15 min. We didn’t want to be there to see it but what could we do. We were signing papers with this guy and giving him her food and water bowls and her food. We don’t think he figured they would hit it off right at first either cause it happened in his front yard. . But she is staying there until Thursday. This house seems so empty without our Rottweiler. But she has done great with the girls he has and obviously the boy. And one of his other girls is pregnant. And since they were ‘tied up’ yesterday she should have puppies on Nov 20th!!

And my daughters game went really really good. She was so happy that dad was able to go! These last couple games DH hasn’t been able to go because of work. She was just so excited! AND THEN…..a song came on and she started dancing. A few of the girls turned around and yelled at me “Is she going to Homecoming??” I walked over there to explain that I didn’t have any information about homecoming due to the way these schools send out information. Which I’m going to take a min to explain that. If they don’t go to the physical school, they don’t get the flyers or the news or anything like that. It’s basically like they just get to claim her as a student because she is at the district but attends a co-op that helps children like her. I’m working to change that. Somehow someway. But the girls all said she could go with them as a group! My heart just started melting!!! I’m just so happy and excited! I have to find her a dress and shoes now. And then I gotta get her hair done and oh all the stuff to do but so exciting!!!!

Yesterday morning though started off on a note that I thought was going to be bad for the rest of the day. I got my second oldest up for her practice that she had to be at, at 7:30am. Well she ate breakfast and was getting ready to go and my younger 2 girls and little man were eating breakfast at the dinning room table and suddenly the girls freak out! Yelling that there was a bat in the dinning room. Well my husband and I looked at each other confused because we didn’t see anything flying around or even knew exactly how it got in to the main living space. We know we have a few that must live in our attic space because there is normally 2 flying around outside. So anyway we go in there and the girls are pointing to the floor. And there it was, a bat. But it must have been injured somehow. It’s wings were spread out and it was hoping when my husband tried to sweep it up. Cause it wasn’t moving, we really thought it was dead. But we got it outside.

The picture of the rott is the boy waiting for our girl. We just love it and think it’s cute. Even if he may have actually been looking at a squirrel or something lol. The pic with all of the dogs, I circled mine in red.
