These Days
Mar. 26th, 2011 01:31 pmIn the Spring, if you catch me at home while I'm wearing a jacket, chances are there's an egg in my pocket. I don't mean to walk around giving the egg a tour of the property. Its just everywhere I look one of the feathered ladies are trying to outwit me by laying eggs hither and yon. There are a few very common places, a few new places and a few ridiculous places. I've also disturbed quite a few of the ladies in the process of laying an egg "oh, so sorry, my apologies. Didn't mean to interrupt you!" So far I've gotten disgusted looks from roughly half the ladies and its only early afternoon. *sigh*
Granny, our lovely Silver Blue Swede, has decided she looks enough like a rock to brood in the front yard. My driveway is roughly shaped like the state of Mississippi, and she's in that block of land belonging to Louisiana. There are a lot of trees, including a few white-barked ones, many bushes and a bunch of big rocks that look quite a bit like a large Silver Blue Swede. So she's doing very well camouflage-wise. We'll see if the brood sets and eggs appear.
Meanwhile, it would appear that one of our bantam cochin pullets may in fact be a bantam cochin cockerel. So far the boys, if he is one, are getting along well. We'll keep an eye on further developments and possible injuries. We'll likely have to make some decisions down the line if he is a male. Chances are, our Hay Lady may be entirely thrilled to have a bantam smooth cochin cockerel to go with the bantam frizzle cochin pullets we're going to give her. :)
Meanwhile, there is a very tired Boo sleeping on the dog bed in the living room. He's going to be staying with us for a week or so while Kevin is off on a detachment cruise.
