What did you do with your flock today?

[TropicalBabies]

I just got my first egg from one of The Noodles, Squirrel. It’s a tiny blue one. I’m so happy and proud of her. <33

She’s on the left. This is the first egg I’ve gotten in a few weeks, and yesterday I had to actually buy eggs. Poor guys are going through a pretty hard molt. : (

I just lub your girls noodles
The blonde looks like my Princess Grace. Squirrel just looks silly and she should be forgiven her hiatus.

Yeah, I think I might almost possibly maybe even see a bruise! Poor babies must be hungry lol.
Beautiful little attack flock ♡ sorry for your injury

Well, this morning is a nice reprieve with only 4 crowing boys. Much better.

I will head to Lihue town early to drop the stand and bags with KHS, fill DH's truck with gas, pick up feed & wood along with my small shopping list.

Share is in her last moments. I have her in the brooder on the lawn so she can enjoy safely. I have some favorite foods and water for her but she is done with eating and drinking. Her comb color is fading and has a touch more blue. My husband wants to cull but I just don't have the heart. I want her to go peacefully, kindly with dignity and no fear.

Welp. Time to get moving.

@TropicalBabies as hard as it is havin to watch new born chicks suffer and cull...I cannot begin to imagine how difficult and heart breaking it would be to watch one you have raised go through that!
I am beyond sorry!
I'm dealing with the little FTT and just so awful to wanna give it more.time but then not wanting it to suffer either.

Oh yum! Dark Brahma's nice nice bird. Congratulations photos?!

Yeah, I'm kinda with you on the lap bird. I rarely sit long enough for a cuddle if I do a cat finds me first. I basically get swarmed, not cuddled. With food, I get mobbed.

Bad rooster! I have never had a bad one yet but yesterday while transferring my last pasture roo to the coop he bit me on my hand. I was actually really proud of him for protecting himself so I put my hand out again to see if he would bite it and he did. Lol

They are almost done with growing new feathers. Will try to get pics in their new outfits. Got them in the middle of molting, so still a bit ragged. Oh, hopefully he doesn't progress to being mean.

I just let a sweet hen pass peacefully a couple weeks ago. She had liver failure, probably from reproductive issues.
