Good morning everyone.
I've been mia and got 200 plus pages behind. I've not been sick I have just been off. The last week I had no energy and for no reason every muscle just ached. Seasonal depression maybe, although that tends to hit me more around January for a week or two.
I have still not yet heard or saw George crowing. Dad has though. Little man only crows at the crack of daylight while still in the coop. Not a peep once he is let out and I cannot encourage him to do so first thing in the morning. Yes, I have tried. I do not mind a boy crowing in the morning. Nothing from the silkies either. They will be 5 months old in a few days and to be honest, none of them are giving clear signs if they are a boy or not. With Branch I knew by 3 1/2 months. His brother though did fool me right up to 6 months when I let him out of the coop and the devil crowed at me. I have a excuse with him though, it was my first go around with silkies. I did not know some of the signs that he was clearly giving off months before he crowed. This group just is not doing it.
That is ok, I love those little feather dusters. I am taking each day with them all as a gift and enjoying them. I am in no hurry at all to make any decisions. George is also taking his sweet time to fully mature. Even though he has started to crow he still ignores the girls young and old. He also thankfully has not developed a love affair with any part of me unlike Branch and his brief escapade with my hand.
Here are a few pictures this morning while I was out having my morning coffee with everybody.
