What did you do with your flock today?

We were throwing a casual dinner party for some of hubby's co-workers once and one of the fellows just loved animals. Every chance he got he'd go outside and just enjoy them. Dinner time came and he took his plate outside to enjoy with the birds. I checked on him and he was having a blast eating and sharing with them. I told him just be careful because they can be pushy and headed back inside. Sure enough, a little while later there's a big commotion outside and when I went to check, there's poor Jeff backed away from the table because a bird was in the middle of his plate...not only chowing down but fiercely defending his right to do so.
I need to teach my birds better manners don't I?

Too funny

EWWWW 100s??? IN OCTOBER? Remind me to never live in Arizona hahahaha. I've been complaining about the forecast calling for 90 on Thursday. I want FALL weather dang it! Cold mornings, the smell of cool air, cinnamon apples, cozy clothing...summer is TOO long here! So, I have started some winterizing...but not as much as others. It's just been too hot still! Need to get ready for the rain though...cuz we will go from summer to relentless rain in the blink of an eye, and I don't want to be out in the mud and rain trying to put up tarps again haha...that is just not at all fun! I decided to take down the run that attaches to one of my Omlet coops and replace it with no-dig fence and bird netting before winter. The run has become a rat haven and for some reason the mud builds extra badly and then everyone is muddy and gross. Not gonna do that again! Gonna claw up the ground and wreck all the rat tunnels and remove a bunch of the dirt and fill it with Koop Clean straw. No more mud, I'm determined!

You can come visit here! we pressed 30 gallons of apple cider this past Saturday.

Good morning from CT! Fall is here for sure! Yesterday I cut a face in a pumpkin and the hens have been enjoying that. Puddering around the yard getting ready for the cold season! Actually, still working on a second coop that MUST get done. Waiting for a nicer day to paint some more

My friend wants my chickens to carve a pumpkin. I saw a video, looks like an easy way to do this instead of fiddling with a knife and all. Please show pics!

How are your egg counts? All my girls are hens, so down to 2 or 3 a day, now. Just looking at Velma on my avatar is making me tear up.
