The "babies" are seven months old, which means time for another photo shoot!

My daughter solved a little of the “what do they do while I’m at work,” mystery. She took this mid morning before she left for college.
Snuggling is an excellent daytime activity. 🥰

During Red Wolf Week, catch our wolves howling, exploring, and dashing across the webcam. You never know what they’ll do next!🐾

It's been a crazy Monday, so here's some happy chickens grazing in our backyard after a summer storm.

Sorry for not posting in a while! The babies are getting bigger- they're 12-14 weeks right now. Dove and Ivory (white leghorns) hop the fence almost daily, but then they have to run from the big hens who bully them 😅

🪶[6] ʻApapane. Another adorable honeycreeper from Hawaii. Each of their beak shape tells us about the birdiversity and evolutionary biology of the islands.

No more scrapping!! At LAST. And no more escapes. Happy flock, happy me.
8 hens eating their porridge in peaceful co-existence. 2 x reds - the elders Louisa & Margaret; 3 x Light Sussex - Zoe, Meghan and Anita; 3 x Black Rock - Mary, Doreen and Joan. It's taken 3 weeks to get here and the new girls all run to me now and a couple are even letting me stroke them now.

Pippin was having none of Bilbo's romantic little come ons this morning.

"Try and get me up here - haha!"

On this day last year - my Dorothy, the perfect magical creature she was, had me snort laughing so hard in the backyard that tears were streaming down my face & I couldn’t breathe.
A golden comet hen named Dorothy on a very hot day on some very dry brown grass goes running gleefully across the yard with her beak open in a comical way. Her much less excited sister Blanche is just behind her. These are photos that I just snapped in quick sequence & then died laughing when I saw what was captured. She doesn’t even look real she’s so hilarious.

I'm supposed to name my MILs barnevelders (this is not them, just a representation of the breed for reference). Which two names do we like best:
Agnes
Polina
Hypatia
Petrova

Flock Spotlight #7

Name- Lucky
Breed- Easter Egger
Age- 10 months

When Lucky was a chick, she got stuck in our kitchen cabinet for a whole day. We managed to get her out, but she continues to be a trouble maker and escape artist!

Everything looks fine at first, but then you realize one of the babies is trying to escape 🤦‍♀️
