What made you happy today?

Oops, looked more closely. Although much broke off and is on the front lawn, some is hanging by a vine over the power line and cable line . Reported to JCP&L, but since it is not 'downed' lines or power outage we will be the last to be serviced on this very windy day.

Good luck, Sour! Hoping the best for you!

Sean is this child related to you? And where is this at?

No, he is not and this was at the Macy's Thanksgivig Day Parade.

I will be over the moon with happiness if my chickens behave today.....

They are a feral bunch in wild weather.

Leftovers!

Also: the solo EE we put in with the three sisters is doing better and better. She is gaining confidence. At first she spent most of her time on the roost and on top of the feeder and nest box to stay out of reach of any pecks but now she spends most of her time on the ground with the other three.

She came running for treats today with the others. She is more assertive about claiming a place next to them on the roost at night. Sometimes she even pecks back instead of running away.

This evening I saw her jump up on the roost and give a quick don't-even-think-about-starting-anything-I'm-sleeping-here peck to the hen next to her. The other hen ducked her head but didn't peck back and they were fine.

Her head is up, her eyes are bright, her carriage is much more confident. I love how animals rise to the occasion if you give them the chance to succeed.

She's doing well enough that we dismantled her old pen today (we called it her 'apartment'). We're pretty sure they'll be able to work everything out.
