What did you do with your flock today?

Good morning gang and happy Aloha Saturday... it is Saturday right? 🤔 been insanely busy. I need to clean and reorganize everything and have barely finished unloading my truck when DH made an appointment for AJs dog on the otherside of island and I gotta do the running. There went almost a whole day...
On the amazing side... flock reintergration has been surprisingly smooth. I seem to have the dreamy and drama free 2 roo flock (at the moment- holding breath...). They have sectioned off beautifully, Beetle having more and younger girls, Spider with the light B's and matriarch's. Last night most all went to sleep in the main coop- peacefully. I think... this may work out with the boys 🤞🤞🤞. 2 girls did have had a few throw downs but nothing too big, just surprising. I think I have 45 birds at the moment (with chicks)... maybe the boys are happy to see each other...View attachment 3277301View attachment 3277305
I'm so glad Beetle and Spider are doing well together ❤️ I see your happy happy birds and feel sorry for my poor banties always locked up and with only dirt to play with when they do get to come out. Thanks as always for the beautiful pictures... they're inspiring! When I get home I'll try to figure out something to give my cage babies more.
 
On the bag news!!! Feed store ASKED about carrying my bags!!! Well, that is 1 so far! Need to get permission from non-profit and build a stand! Most exciting!!!View attachment 3277316
Got a bunch more really cute bags to do! Need to set up a sewing station down here 🙄 I need a clone.View attachment 3277317
Also have another order of chicks so fired up the bator AGAIN.
For my daily cool off DH and I have been going for rides in the late noon/early eves. What a good God send. Just loving Boo big time! Yesterday was the gnarly Waimea side canyon road. More intense hills and corners than the Kekaha side but I made it up perfect fine. Thank goodness we went down the Kekaha way...🤢View attachment 3277323
Wow look at all those bags! You're a hard worker ❤️. I'm tickled about the feed store asking you...that's awesome!
Will you still check in on BYC when on vacation? Can you share some of your adventure with us? ♡♡♡
I'm sure I'll find some free time here and there. I'd miss you lovely ladies if I didn't...lol. ❤️
 
Everythings quiet this morning. We got rain yesterday and Schultz managed to get wet somehow, so I brought him onto the porch to sleep overnight. He's finally starting to get grumpy with me for picking him up so much lately...he used to run up to me, jump on me and let me pet him. Now he runs up to me but isn't jumping on me and isn't always letting me pet him. ☹️ He'll probably relax after a month or so of normal life again. 🤞 I've gotten such a kick out of his greetings and will miss them if he doesn't.
Today and tomorrow are all outdoor time. The neighbors coming to get a walk through and I'll top off everything, pick some green beans, peppers and stuff and lots of treats and attention for all the beasties this weekend. I enjoy that as much as they do, so it's going to be a lovely weekend ❤️
It sounds magical ♡ I am sure all will be well. You have such a close and capable network- I envy you in the best and happiest of ways ♡ what a wonderful neighbor you are.

I'm very lucky in a lot of ways....I have the very best neighbors all around me ❤️ I envy you too in the best way!

Such beautiful pictures!!! I’m so glad they are getting alone!
 
Oh me...have yall ever had a chick decide to sleep all by themselves totally opposite the entire flock?! I mean mine sleep on the porch of their coop which is within the run.
But I was looking for Bambi the other night...lil black silkie and could not find her for nothing.
She had wedged herself on behind the edge of the brooder on the ground behind the straw bale. All the others are on the complete opposite side of the entire run.
She has done this the past few nights.
I've moved her each time.
The cochins on the other hand are roosting INSIDE the coop ON the ROOST!!! Thank You Lord! And they are the youngest of the entire flock!
And now the oldest of the flock, minus Joey, has decided they need to sleep on the treat bucket like the cochins had been doing. I tell ya they are playing musical chairs out there!

That is so cool about the feed store!!! BTW my bag did show up! But I have to wait until Monday to get it. At least I know it’s there though! 😁😁😁

I would love to get some chicks from you too! If only I was closer so they didn’t have so far to travel!
 
We worked some on the duck coop yesterday. We added a few more flowers, hoping they will make it next year, and added fencing and skirt under the duck house. Added a few decorations around the coop as well.
