Morgan Squirrel Herding

Some hens have close friends, other girls they like to hang out with while the rest of the bunch is in another part of the woods, these hens like the driveway? Beats me what they are finding to eat? Curly the Cochin and the two Buff Brahmas are tight. There is a Dark Brahma who follows them around, but stays about six feet away. Don't know if these hens are outcasts or an exclusive group? They are very close to the coop here. Maybe they are homebodies? 

Yea! Jean is home!

Sorry Jean! I was going to put your photo up first, but got it in backwards. You are first in my book! So glad that you are home! Hope you are enjoying yourself back in your own digs. Love you!

[10 eggs today]

There's squirrels up there! It is a bit of a wonder to me how Morgan can keep track of where the squirrels are in the trees. Maybe she is just faking me out sniffing their tracks making me think that she knows which tree they are in or traveling to or through. I mean, did the squirrel really run up the cut tree? Really! 

Aunt Jean Update

Aunt Jean is still in the hospital and she has a lot of pain

but they are not going to cast her ankle.

She is going to get physical therapy and hopefully

learn to get in and out of bed within a few weeks.

Or she will need to go to a facility

and get physical therapy there until the ankle heals.

The physical therapy will continue

when she gets home.

Hope she gets to come home soon!

Yikes!

When Kristine went out to lock up the chickens last night

she noticed the broken pane.

The chickens are all fine. She even counted them.

I picked up the two broken bits of glass this morning

and went to the shed to get another window. 

Took it out to the coop to check the size

and it will fit even though it is a lower window.

It is thicker but the same size.

Then I went to get a phillips head, flat head and a punch

so I could take off the old hardware

and put on the new

and...

there are no phillips heads anywhere

???

Beats me?

I looked in all the places they should be,

soooo.....

I guess I will have to keep looking

and I have a feeling that Tom has them.

Phooey!

I will have to give him a call.
