Wanna bet?

A silkie in human form

Two of our little fuzzy butts died. One was crushed and one just dead. It was our little blue maran and one of the Swedish flower's.

So sorry...

Aw sorry, that stinks.

I have another broody, but she's in the nest box that's kind of secluded so I hope she has some success. Not that I need more birds right now... They probably won't even be butcher ready before winter...

Sorry, Icer. Miss Lydia...hmmm, definitely a spike.

So my "musical chair" chick decided Independence Day meant freedom. Nothing this AM but, few min ago I looked over the wall at the lady in waiting and saw this fuzzball peaking out. Dry and warm but can't stay as her eggs are due 7/8. Afraid she may abandon at this last minute if it stayed, so I quickly removed the chick and have it inside by a bottle of hot water. It's fine. In a few days I will sneak it back with new hatchlings. Others are 6 days and too mobile for this one....guess I'll broody it till weekend when others hatch.

Uncovered for a quick-pic....
