Ma’am you are looking lovely today.

She is finally finishing her molt. Just in time as it's 20°F every night. In fact it was 19°F in the coop on Monday morning.

She always molts in November. I don't understand it. It's too late around here.

NO!

Great guess though

The proper response is not "NO!" It's "not yet!"

Turkey update.

I'm sorry I do not have pictures but little Turkey is thriving. Poppet is such a wonderful momma. Honestly, being a silkie I had little doubt of that. She is not a mean momma thank goodness and is tolerant of me messing with her and her chick. Temps have plummeted since Turkey hatched. Hovering in the mid 20s, wind and snow blowing and feels colder then what it is. Poppet sure gave herself a challenge being a first time momma. Every time I check on them she has Turkey tucked up under her all nice and toasty. Turkey is also eating wonderfully being a single chick. She always has a nice full crop. Not a hint of pasty butt, rare I know with broody raised chicks but I still check. Poppet is also very content to keep Turkey in the coop. She is making it easy for me. All my other hens would be a danger to their chicks by day 1 or 2 trying to break out and pacing. Come to think of it, Chiquita was the same way. She was content to keep her 2 clutches in the coop for the first 2 weeks or longer. For not being "real chickens" silkies are such easy mommas when they outwit you or you just give in to their demands.

Wonderful news!

But sounds very interesting, what show is it?

Shakespeare maybe?

“All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players: they have their exits and their entrances; and one man in his time plays many parts, his acts being seven ages.”

Most of what i work on are Broadway touring shows.
This show is Back to the Future

23?

Working at the theatre today, too much concrete around for pictures to load or post. Most of the crew here started at midnight last night, they are starting to get punchy! Another 1-9 hours to go depending on the crew. I came in at 9 and will be off at 9 this evening, but i am stitcher on the wardrobe crew. Lots of costume repairs on a touring show!

I wasn’t aware that you were a thespian!

I know what you mean. Mine also. Poor Cash is just full of pins. Curly and Henny also. And Tippy, Rose, Eli-too….

I wonder why they wait so late? Luckily it’s looking like a warm up next Monday- saying +4C and rain. Crazy weather!
