What did you do with your flock today?

[Shetland lover]

spent plenty of time with them because I have one who is dying and I just want to watch her and was awesome as the other ducks were comforting her too

I'm so sorry.

I am so excited. My patience is paying off. Teri tried to jump onto my lap yesterday. I wasn't expecting it and was startled. My husband was able to scoop her up and hold her for a minute. A couple of my other girls are becoming more willing to allow touching. Today I will see if Tei let's me hold her.

I am cleaning the run today. No small feat with my back. It's got to get done tho.

We are 8 weeks old today. We decided to serenade our human with adult voices that sound like puberty is in full swing. We have discovered our attitudes and know we can get rid of our human if we threaten to bite.

The Chickens.

When does puberty end? After 18-20 weeks, when they start laying?
Mine are a little over 11 weeks. They change so much every day.
I have one Roo. That wasn't part of my plan, lol.

Roos seem to be in constant puberty, in my opinion.

The grass is turning green again after a couple rainy days, so the girls are happy to have grazing area again. They've been getting fallen apples, but I had to remove many because it was too much. I have a couple leghorn girls who just have to fly up on the roof of the coop in the mornings. Occasionally they go into the garden, then it's round up time to get them out and back into their yard.
I fileted a couple salmon that my friend gave me, so I gave the girls the carcass to pick on. They weren't too sure at first, because maybe they didn't want their food looking at them, LOL., but when I checked a couple hours ago, they were getting snacks. Now that crabbing season is over, this is a good way to recycle these, and the girls get some healthy protein.

My lot love salmon and sardines but not white fish, bizarrely. I might see if my cousin has caught any this week as everyone (except contrary Clara) is moulting and in a funk about it. Gladys is being a stone cold b*tch and even Ferdy isn't his usual happy self (he's still super affectionate with me but he's been running off the cats and pecked DH's leg). Time to break out the biotin supplements!

Salmon and sardines are high in Omega 3 fatty oils, maybe your flock is aware of nutritional needs?

I turned the pet coop and a coop of 2/3 grown pen of mutts loose early and let them brave the elements and I came inside and slept some more.

I splurged and bought my flock a special treat the other day... 2 fresh ears of corn. Gave them one a day to share between the 6 of them. I guess they're worth the 50 cent cost of the corn.
