I cut two small holes near the bottom of a pumpkin and hung it up for the hens. The girls are still looking rather ragged. Taco’s feet are caked in dirt because we treat her legs with ointment, then she goes and has a dust bath. There are feathers everywhere, but no eggs. I caught Magic on a nest, but no egg.
Because it is 2020, of course the ghost decorations need to have masks. These were fast and dirty chicken wire sculptures, draped with nylon tulle, and masked up with cotton squares held on with white chenille sticks. I was able to get all three put together in one morning (really rough sculpture)!
Hm. I haven’t checked the trail cam in awhile. There were 445 pictures on there, mostly of raccoons, opossums, and cats. There were some squirrel pictures, which is remarkable in that we haven’t seen squirrels on the trail cam before.
And there was one picture of a coyote, and one of a fox. Apparently that only go through our area in the fall, since we haven’t seen them on the trail cam for a year.
I have been meaning to upgrade my phone for almost a year. I put it off not just because of the cost, but also because it is irritating when things are in the wrong place. Compared to many moons ago, the upgrade process is SO much better, but there are still small shifts, tiny adjustments, and a whole lot of “where did it go?” Frustrating. But I finally succumbed, and have in the bargain a better camera. Maybe I’ll be able to provide some nicer shots for the blog. Today, all the animals just seem to be laughing at me. (Because of course I take pictures of animals first.)
Yup, this is a thing. Showing off fluffy butts on Friday. My girls are still getting their tail feathers in, but I thought this photo was interesting because you can clearly see the difference in coloration between the girls. Seashell has the dark fluff, and isn’t quite to a blue Faverolle, but is further that direction than any of the others.
