What did you do with your flock today?

[Freebird Feathers]

You bet! I found them on Etsy and I just loved the examples they had. I had already drawn something similar by hand, but if I hadn't they work with you to mock-up some ideas based on things you describe in their questionnaire they send you. You can search for Ambellica Designs in the sellers search on Etsy and you should be able to find them. They are very professional and entertained all my ideas and change requests. When you are happy with it, they get your email address and send you a link to all the files for download on your own computer. Not terribly expensive either.

Thank you so much!! I see everyone with these super cute logos and have always wondered how people get them lol. I will definitely check that shop out

Lump is a good sign.

I'm developing a bit of a lump on my clavicle so I'm hoping that's a sign that the bone is knitting. Got a check-up and x-ray next week so fingers crossed! How's your hand?

I remember when I had fallen on my elbow, and the small fracture filled in, becoming a small, palpable ridge. Hand is there, the dressing is awkward, and I know if I attempt a motion that's not good. One more week. Managed to sweep and mop today. I get this dressing off and stitches removed on Tuesday, to be replaced by a cast, or something for 3 more weeks. Keeping fingers crossed for a good checkup for you.

Today, 13 eggs, minus 1. Evidence of another egg, yolk was smeared on a few. Could have been a soft one, or cracked one? I'd have to come up with a controlled investigation to find out which girl is laying those. Any ideas? I wormed them, and fed them some scoby bits today for probiotics. Could it be she hasn't been eating the oyster shell? I use a mixed flock feed, which has little calcium, and it's also good for the chick as well.

Insane amount. Whole island has been bad after the wet winter. I have seen it bad before but never this BAD for this LONG. Well, I am learning a thing or 2 forsure. Had to go out last night and spray chicken feet and backs too.
Don't think the chickens slept well with the zapper so close.View attachment 3465886
Learning as I go lol. I will switch back to the dyna who's fan probably lulls them to sleep.

Wonder if any of them tried to catch bugs around the zapper during the night?

Well come on here to share my big news but nothing can compare to a baby (@Gammas Bearded Babies)!!!!

One of my hens hatched 4 eggs so far. We are waiting on 2 more eggs. One I’m not so sure about.

Sorry I have been so absent. Things are just crazy right now. But I walk outside and I have this beautiful tree that just makes my day. I wish the flowers would stay all summer…

What a wonderful tree! Reminds me of Kentucky trees from my early childhood.

I hear you with that one! Now, if I could only fasten my own bra...

Good time to enjoy a little freedom? Glad it's showing signs of healing. Broken bones seem to take forever to fully heal.

Someone has to come up with a saleable product using all these carcasses. If you had a dime (inflation from nickel, ) for every mosquito you caught, you'd be rich.$$$$$

Chicken treats? Might be good sprinkled over their food like seasoning.

I hope you find who’s doing it. I have had one laying soft shells and the are on a layer feed. I think mine is stressed. We had a sudden rise in temps that are over 80 for the last couple days. Could yours be?

Checked my mealies and finally found pupas! A whole 2 of them . So I'll at least get to see what the adults look like. I'll start picking up and keeping any of those beetles I see and can get more mealies that way maybe. These ones love horse ! I've been adding halved potatoes, carrots and horse dung apples to their box, and they always go for the horse apples first. They devour almost the entire things. They only touch the veggies if the horse dung is gone.

O, forgot to mention...the weather's definitely gone crazy. Been reading about the record breaking heat already hitting us. Had a wonderful map to share but it won't load... . Anyhow, huge swath of America getting hit with it already. Hope everyone's keeping cool enough!

Hey! Cute big fat pupae! Congratulations on that hard earned win! Looking forward to seeing what emerges most exciting!

Yeah, I wondered and worried too so switched it back to the dyna. Checked the trappings and all looked fairly equal. So, won't try and fix what was working AND safer right?! Looking forward to today's results. We had a good breeze last night but the biters were out with a vengeance around the coop. So also turned on fan and sprayed. Was satisfied when I left but need to do more. We have some residual monster hanging and a cold front headed our way, though they are calling it uneventful so maybe we are going to start our drying out and then... hotting up. Right now is perfect temps.
Unlike @ChicksnMore I'm on my magical couch in the dark but I have an occasional snack wanting cat walk over me to keep it real lol. Courtyard would be awesome ♡♡♡♡♡

Dyna sounds great!
Gotta love kitties My little chi Tucks been beating me up for treats. Little dolls getting chubby though so I started giving him a sealed treat bag instead. He plops down next to it, tries to bury it etc. Didn't get even one bite and he's happy as a clam! Hopefully he'll stay that way and go back to being happy with just his actual meals and an occasional treat!
