    What an adventure for you and your mom! A good trip is even better when you can share it with family. I have the best memories of going to England last year with my sister, her husband and his stepdad. She and her husband went to New York City the year before. I'm sure your trip was more...

    Hurray that Dabble is alive and well -- but she may want to avoid duck pools for the rest of her life!! Thank goodness you found her. :celebrate I LOVE a happy ending!! (I don't suppose she's going to get an extra treat or two, along with an apology, is she?)

    Introducing myself!

    Your flock is gorgeous (I ADORE Cochins), and so are the cats! BTW, my Olive Eggers is one of those rare girls who doesn't lay olive-colored eggs, although the eggs she does lay are Huge. Welcome to BYC, Naomi!

    I hope Dapple comes back. I've had hens disappear overnight and show up the next day -- despite an abundance of coyotes, escaped neighbors' dogs, minks, and array of other predators. My very best wishes that she returns!!!

    Talk about a crowd! I would also have been concerned that the babies could have been flattened or smothered. I hope Gussie's maternal side kicks in, like your females, and she wants to take good care of Kiki, Hettie and Still-No-Name.

    Jim, hope the doctor's appointment goes well. And, that you get a chance to work in the shop. It's 60-plus here, sunny and dry but there's a (very accurate) wind advisory until 4 p.m. I've left the chickens in their runs because they could blow away out in the yard!! Gusts may reach 50 mph...

    Bless you kind-hearted Lisa for giving back the eggs. I would have done the same thing and postponed any concern about the eventual number of goslings. When I was part of a management team in Minneapolis, we often looked to Scarlet O-Hara for inspiration in such circumstances. Her guidance? "I...

    Ah, Lisa, I'm kind of glad to see your resolve crumble. I hope you enjoy your goslings as much as I am enjoying mine. And, if it doesn't work out, I think Jim would be more than happy to have some new pets! :lau I've been told nothing can wake a person out of a sound sleep as quickly hearing...

    Hazel Hills Hens - Coop Journey!

    I am a proponent of modifying structures to create a coop that fits your needs. Congrats! High winds are incredibly destructive here, so I like that you added ground anchors. Best wishes with completing the transformation. The only point that I find "iffy," is your suggestion that you may...

    Initial crowing -- congrats to Gandalf! The first time my first young rooster crowed, I thought it sounded like he was choking to death and rushed over to check on him. And, your girls have every right to be offended if the young mister isn't being a gentleman. The ladies may have to band...

    Is your knee feeling better? If it isn't healed in time, will they force you to delay your departure? I hope not because you've been looking forward it for so long. On an extremely relieved note, my 3 goslings arrived happy and healthy. Tracking them down was challenging. It's no wonder the...

    I completely understand why you aren't buying goslings, Lisa. But, I am Totally in Love with my little girls.😍 Ducklings and chicks always seem terrified of me. These little sweeties took to me immediately and, yesterday, began trying to jump up on my lap. It's adorable now, and yes, I know it...

    Introduction

    You appear to have a good sense of humor -- you'll want to keep that because, as you've no doubt already learned, it's a valuable coping tool when dealing with all of a flock's misadventures! Lovely birds and a good-looking coop. Welcome to BYC!

    At 3:37 a.m., the wees ones let me know -- loudly -- that I had failed them; they ran out of water overnight. I immediately jumped out of bed to correct my shortcoming, and it appears they have graciously forgiven me. Hope the clean-up is going well, Lisa. It rained here, often quite hard, all...
