Sunny sat on my lap for a while today. She was staring intently just over my shoulder, but I couldn't turn around to see what she saw, or she would have jumped down.
Maybe she was staring AT my shoulder, thinking, I used to be able to jump up there...
Oh, Hen-Rietta... I wish I could give you hugs, dear lady.
:hugs :hugs :hugs :hugs
Share them with Alex.
My grandmother's name was Henrietta. I look like her.
Yeah, that's the thing about going in to TSC. I leave after a while! :lau
The peeping stage is like puppyhood. You want it to be over, but you miss it when it's gone.
I was in TSC to get some fencing today. No chicks. I guess that's due to the HPAI situation here in Michigan.
I am not getting chicks this year, but oh how I missed the peeping. 😞
One of the wisest men who ever lived* once said,
"Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened."
But it's ok to cry too. It makes room for the smiles to come.

Thanks for asking.
Pip is fine, as far as I can tell. I don't know if she's laying, but I haven't seen any lash material in a while.
I miss her getting on my shoulder. I think she's to big and heavy to get there now?
My girls are getting feisty with each other. I saw one of them jump on the back of another twice while I was sitting in the run with them.
I don't want to get a rooster, yet. I want them to get along.
Maybe next spring, or the year after, I'll order some more Bielefelders and get a cockerel...
When Widget was thinking of going broody, I took her out of the nest at roost time, put her on the roost, and blocked off that nest. She was out and about the next day, but did finally decide she wanted to sit. It took just two days and nights in the broody breaker crate to convince her to snap...
