A mural one of our students made, with the guidance of a muralist. I heard the student had grand dreams for this wall, and had to be coaxed to be more realistic!
We went to the mall today for groceries, and ended up walking around. This statue has been moved around, but it is still there, ever since I was a little kid, in the early 70s. It now has a plaque (that wasn't there in the 70s) about how it's supposed to be a tribute to the Lenape who lived in...
I'm always happy to see birds; I love them. Half the reason I love my chickens is that they're birds and they like to be petted.
The magpie photo is cool, and the crow with one white feather. :love
I also remove in sections, with the south and west removed last, as those are the prevailing wind sides.
I don't have a specific temperature (it can fall quickly) or date (it can warm sooner), but go more by feeling, and by how the girls behave.
Fowltemptress said it well, except I disagree with the snuggling. Chicks need warmth, so the are happy to snuggle against your chest in a cupped hand, or in the crook of your neck. I have one girl who still associates this with comfort (I assume), and enjoys snuggling, even in the hottest days...
Congratulations on your new chicks!
I put down an old sheet, sit down on the floor, and let them climb over me. If the weather's warm, I take them out for a bit, too. I always handle them from the day I get them.
