I am pretty sure @RebeccaBoyd leaves hers on the counter to settle down. I just don’t remember if that was for 24 or 48 hours.

Awwww. So sad to lose a little one.

Everyone is back where they should be. Calypso flew back over as if it was the most obvious thing on earth. Tassels tunneled under. Crazy chickens!

For 2fer Tuesday I have two fence hoppers. Yes, Tassels and Calypso are supposed to be the other side of the fence.

Correction. It’s a pretty chicken!

Mugshots for Monday. Pooh, Sylvie and Bernie. The butterfly bush has really grown into a wonderful hideaway for them. It is a thick cave and must be nice and cool underneath.

You have such pretty chickens. 🥰

I am in the same camp. Trust to clutter and speed. And keep an eye on them of course.

I think that is it. The prey is definitely the same!

Hmmm. I am not sure. I thought Martins were bigger. These are really tiny. The nest box is intended for Eastern Bluebirds and often get invaded by house sparrows. These guys are smaller than house sparrows. If I get a chance I will try to do some identification. They are quite noisy - sort...

For Pony Sunday I have these little guys. Both parents bring food and remove waste constantly. I can’t quite see what it is they are eating. Something with long legs and a big white body. I don’t think I have seen any bugs like that in the yard - but there must be loads of them as the birds...

I really doubt it was a crow. Hawk more likely. And no, they do not always take their prey with them.

Oh noooo! So sorry for your loss. :hugs :hugs Day or night? Definitely get a camera. An old school game camera will capture most of what goes on.

I really fell for this little guy. He was such a goofy chick. He was really hard to get good pictures of. He specialized in bad hair days and clinging to the bricks on the back of the chimney because he hadn’t managed to get enough height to fly to the nest. First picture is three in the nest...

Oh no! Cluckie looks like a beautiful hen. Poor girl - but remember what a happy long life she had with you. Fly high Cluckie. 🥰

Farewell Wendy. You were a beautiful lady and will be very missed. Lovely tribute. :hugs

True dat. 🥰
