'Hope' is the thing with feathers, that perches in the soul, and sings the tune, without the words, and never stops--at all.

Towards evening it was DoveCam, we had a whole flock in the back yard.

Sorry, due to the weather--howling winds in this case--no Chickam today. Possibly tomorrow, we'll have to wait & see.

The chickens HATE the wind and are all hiding in the coop today. Can't blame them, it's gusting to about 50 mph. That'll roll your Cochins across the yard!

CRAZY wind here too. I had to gather up the outdoor furniture that was relocated. Such a MESS with all the leaves blown all over. I found what I think is siding or roofing materials (colors are not our house - whew). Stay safe VS!

How much of it is your fault based on chicken glares?

I don't know. I stayed in the house and they stayed in the coop. Later on this afternoon the wind died down and it started to rain. They were so damned happy for the lack of wind that they happily played in the rain.

Of course, tonight it's getting near freezing...I'm just glad it's dark and I can't see the chickenglare. We'll see what tomorrow brings.

The weather has been iffy all day. The forecast calls for clear and sunny tomorrow, so barring a change, we'll run Chickam then.

Edit: I forgot we're having a half cord of wood delivered tomorrow, so we won't be able to let the chickens out of the run until after that. After noon at some point.

Bloop, doing it wrong. Mostly he just wanted to kill me.


Weedcat clearly did not find this as funny as the kid did.


Instant dignity removal. Poor Weeds.


Now, Mushroom knows how to wear a Santa hat! Downright jaunty.

Tomorrow is Put A Hat On A Hen day. Whether they want it or not!
I cannot, however, place any chickens in my Christmas tree, I value my ornaments too much.


The roo situation is the same for now...still don't know what we'll end up doing with Cam, he persists in trying to kill his father. :( I'm hoping that the other rooboys coming into adulthood will give Cam something else to think about and take the pressure off Weeds, we'll see.

Poor Weedcat. :D MAN!!! He is so big! He's humongous! Who could imagine that such a tiny chick could grow into a gentle giant!

Mushroom is turning out to be pretty as well! Thanks for taking the photos!

Yeah, he is. If you notice in the pics, it starts off with the kid holding him, then 12_String has to take over. Weeds just gets too heavy for her to hold after a minute. His feet hang in a very undignified way when he's being held. :keke:

Please post a photo of Weeds standing next to a yard stick. I am really curious exactly how tall he is! :)
