He is stunning.
Hopefully he changes his mind about the taste of chicks soon.
Mmm, he just took a Wilkie. On the upside , I got some really good pics.

Oh the devil.
I just found out last night what I thought was a neighbors cat, they thoughts was ours.....we finally realised the former neighbor abandoned it when they moved out...we now have a stray kitty walking our runs roof.
Here's a good link Ben. I'm guessing you already found it yourself though since we usually find the same sites!

Do you have any plain yogurt to give her? I've heard it really helps.
That hawk is GORGEOUS!
Ben, the coop and nesting boxes look great. If all goes well, will be doign some tear down and reset on my coops and yard this year. My neice is moving back to Holland to live with me. She is not doing so well in schools in Tennessee. Went from an honor student to a failing student. She's in 11th year, and the school in Tenn put her in 12th year classes... SOOO, now after two months in Knox, she's failing. So, my sister asked if she could come back here, finish up 11th and her senior year. Yup. Not a problem. SHe's a good kid, and my kids love her to death. She's almost like a daughter, minus the labor and the diaper years. HAHAHA
If you don't have yogurt you can also use garlic cloves minced up with olive oil... go figure, but it works. had a SLW with sour crop after an impacted, and used the garlic because we didn't have plain yogurt on hand.
He is awesome to look at, shame the price you have to pay though.
You need to have that idiot with the power tools make noise at twice a week at odd times. Our birds did get used to me and my electric tools and even the air powered ones, I think the compressor bothers them more then the tools whine/screaming.Morning team!
Rosie seems to be doing well. I think I may have been looking harder than I needed at her. I think she may ave a case of pendulous crop. It seems to be emptying over night and is firm after some scratch in the morning, but by the end of the day it is full and a bit squishy, more than the rest of the flock anyway.
Still on watch, but not getting any special treatment.
I do feel a bit bad though, yesterday we got 4 hens and I completely forgot, our first four hatched pullets had their birthday and are officially HENS! I thought it may have been today but got my days mixed up.
A year ago today, Rosie was our very first bird to hatch at home. Followed by our two LS Cleo and Sunny and Luna the BA that we still own. Our Ara's, BV and SPW have their birthdays and graduate to hens in early April.
Happy birthday Rosie!
Getting a few eggs a day from our 8 girls of laying age, a couple in molt and it's been hot, plus some idiot making a racket with power tools recently has our egg numbers down a bit. Hope to settle into a new rhythm soon, and welcome in some of the younger birds to laying. Our FWM, SF, BVx, and Weliie are almost 20 weeks now and Marrie the Maran is quite red but no one is squatting yet.
The two Rocks are a bit behind at almost 14 weeks.
Have a good day
