American Lady butterfly, I think. Your yard has some similarities to mine.

They are called "writing spiders" here in NC, for the zigzag in the middle of the web. I love to see them.

They're even cute in the juvies stage, teenagers! :love Mine are driving the hens to battery...pun intended... Those are the sweet and gentle Dominiques putting "Limey" in his place, ouch! Things should calm down on Saturday, most of the cockerels are going to the auction (no restrictions...

Thank you. It's older, probably planted about 15 years ago.

It's 8' x 12' and just needs stain. It's a Graceland, so a quality shed. Our big shed is also a Graceland. ⬆️ I'm going to have it set up where the little white fence sections are stuck in the yard, about 4' in from our chainlink fence in the back.

I left the brooder doors open today, all day. The latest hatch are doing well, keeping out of the hens' way, but darting in between their legs when I was casting grape bits to the flock. I purposely cut up the fruit into tinier pieces in case any of the littlest ate them. The juvies, aka...

Ooh, rods and reels. That's a thought.

The juvies/teens were active and noisy after dusk, still eating and running around, annoying the hens. I was surprised Rahab didn't chase them out of the brooder... But the hens on the roost didn't appreciate the boys antics. When they tried to roost they got pecked! That's Limey who's putting...

These are my latest babies, same breed as @1muttsfan .

:hugs

After church I checked on the chicks, no issues aside from waterers and feeders needing attention, mainly due to being filled with litter and dirt. :rolleyes: The new chicks are mingling with the hens, are darting in between the adults when I toss food. I chopped up the grapes more finely in...

Rahab's bunch resting. Okay, @1muttsfan , boys or girls? ;)

I was thinking gardening shed. And chicken stuff shed. ETA: goat shed... 🐐 🐐 🐐

Two so far. Someone keeps hiding them in hard-to-reach places. And burying them under straw. :tongue

They are SO pretty, love the butterscotch coloring.

@gtaus you have to see this: This is the inside of a used shed I'm planning on buying. Look at what someone attached to the underside of the loft ⬆️ It looks as if someone added those pallet supports as a way to store boards or other long/thin items overhead.

I love borage. The seeds I planted in the tomato bed never sprouted, but the ones I planted with the watermelon did! They're the plants at the top of this photo. First daylily bloom this morning! Figs...will I get some before the raccoons? Hydrangea Yesterday was a busy day. I potted...

They MUST be girls, right? :fl I let everyone out of the brooders this morning. Here's Rahab with her bunch soaking up some morning sun. Rahab actually went after one of the Dominiques this morning, it got too close. Good. Tamar is still low gal in the pecking order, but her chicks are...

:gig No problem, I was attempting humor... I found five, broke two. One may have been from yesterday.

You may recall Little Chick, one of two chicks in a staggered hatch back in April? He was the one pecked and left for dead on day two, again on day three. I gave him B Complex and E from a syringe a couple times. He would get lost, Martha had to go back and find him. He cried when he got left...
