What did you do with your flock today?

[Shetland lover]

Oh my goodness these kitties are ripping the house apart tonight. Forest and Tally Ho in the middle of it all. So a 6 kitty race track of comedy. I am very entertained.

I had to pick up and intro a forth kitty for travel as they go in pairs. Meet Milo.View attachment 3702782View attachment 3702783
He fits right in. Very brave kitties earning their keep by hunting a fly in the window View attachment 3702784
Of course that is because my abused screens are hanging on by a thread and letting flies and mosquitos in and out. View attachment 3702787View attachment 3702788
A favorite place ♡

You'd have to sit with a good pair of clippers. Seymore may try to eat you

What is it with cats and window blinds? Mine are nearly 14 and  still play in them

One of ours is curtain obsessed... she hasn't managed to pull them down at least, but I'll have to buy new curtains once shes gone.

I did a my Christmas photo shoot

Cuteness overload! How many pics did you end up taking to get these gems? I can't imagine trying to outfit them and get them to tolerate that for even a minute.

Tonight we're trying out a new roosting bar in the Omlet coop. The girls love it!

We have a coop with 8 pullets and 2 cockerels of Dark Cornish. Late this evening we watched and the 2 cockerels worked in tandem trying to get the pullets back in the coop. We had put a new set of nesting boxes in the coop and the pullets where highly skeptical why they were there. The last pullet took for water baths on the log pile before she gave in and joined her coop mates. One of the boys worked getting them in the door and the other stayed out on the outer edge of the circle of girls looking inside. I'm putting some real eggs in the new nest boxes in the morning. No use t put fake ones in as they destroy them once they figure out they are plastic. The broody hen stayed on her nest the whole time we overhauled the coop. I don't think any of her eggs are going to hatch. It's been to long I think now. Hope I'm wrong for her sake.

Now I know what it was that I saw with the kids when out this afternoon. A skinny little Ancona pullet was being chased by a pack of roosters when she slid right trough a plastic picket fence. The bigger broad shouldered rooster got his head through just fine but he had not planned on the sudden stop he came to when his wings made contact with the fence. Made my day.

My current fiend cat destroyed three, four, maybe five sets of mini blinds. I found wood venetian blinds at Habitat for Humanity and installed them. She's not destroyed them, yet!

We give a vitamin E and half of a B Complex nightly. Tonight we got the little girl chicken playing possum again when I put my hand in to pick her up. I must get some video of what this little girl does now. She is getting better at her little show. She is a normal looking young 7month old pullet until caught in the kennel. She plays dead when held. I got her meds down by stroking the bottom of her neck and held her while ma changed out her bedding. Then ma took her and she still played dead with a limp body. Ma finally put her down so her feet could touch the bottom of the kennel. No response. She finally put her head and neck through some gyrations that are unbelievable and after we backed away stood up normally and went over to her food dish for a peck or two. She is a show girl if there ever was one. Not sure of her breed. She either is one of unknown crosses from a free range hen and rooster or came as a surprise from Murray McMurray. She is a class act regardless.

Was hanging out with the geese today and noticed little Clyde, a call duck boy, was walking a little funny. So I brought him in and let him have a warm bath to clean his feet and take a look. Turned out one of his nails had grown long enough to curl under his foot and poke him when he walked. Luckily no damage at all yet and a quick trim fixed him right up.

Boy o boy did he enjoy that warm water!
