What did you do with your flock today?

I cannot go outside. Broke my right foot 3 days ago, and this will take 6 weeks to heal. No driving, either. My garden and girls are calling me.....

Can't you borrow a wheelchair for a month? Or crutches? So you can move around a little more.

Oh no! All that harvesting to be done out there too...
Hope it heals quickly and well

Well, I did think about it, but we live in 2 story house, on the upper floor, and my yard, garden is not very wheelchair friendly. I manage to hobble around some, but have to be careful not to overdo. Thanks for the suggestion, though.

Crutches would be hard to juggle with trying to carry stuff, and waterhoses, and stairs....good thought, though.

Happy Fall, or Spring, depending on where you live. This past weekend the fever hit, and I acquired 6 new pullets, 3 - 4.5 months old. They won't be laying for about 6 weeks or more. 2 Mystic marans, 2 Zombies, and 2 Blue Olive eggers. I will be thrilled when the first eggs are laid, and we'll have eggs through the winter.

My foot doesn't hurt, and the doctor gave me permission to walk on it, still in the boot, as long as it doesn't hurt. I have 3 more weeks to go before I am free. Thankfully, I have a good supply of chauffeurs. DH, and 2 DS.

So glad to hear you're now up and about but please take care and don't overdo it!
Congratulations on the new pullets! What are Zombies? I've not heard of them . I assume they're a new hybrid?
DH finally caved and agreed to 2 new pullets in June - a bantam Cochin and a frizzle bantam Cochin/silkie. I was never going to get a frizzle or a silkie but I fell in love with her and her silly feathers. She looks like an old fashioned feather duster. Or Beaker from the Muppet Show.
She squatted for me yesterday so I'm looking forward to the odd egg over winter too.

Happy Fall to you too! Nearly Halloween

They are cross of an Ayam cemani roo and a White Leghorn hen. This is an adult. My girls faces still look like leghorn, and have the black feathers sprinkled in.
