Hanging out at my parents place before heading to Chicago on Sunday for IMTS. I’m typically here in the winter so good to see their vineyard and garden in season.

Very effective circular snacking today. There is some bonus crowing if you turn up the volume. All of my chickens are missing some head or neck feathers. The pecking order has consequences around here!

Very poor effort on the circular snack wheel. You can do better chickens!

Just a minute of pretty grasses waving in the wind. Yea, I touched them and they are really soft.

Hi Vi! Welcome to my personal space. No, just come on in. Get right up close. Thanks. (She’s my favorite. Don’t tell the others.)

Just a minute of my tiny velociraptors eating an ear of corn. You can see that Vi and Donna are the most focused. Kahlo, in her cape, really doesn’t get it. Gretch and Bryce aren’t super brave about getting near Vi but give it a try. There is a second ear of corn in play off camera in case some of the lower pecking order girls want to get some.

75 and sunny this weekend in Wisconsin sure beats Atlanta this time of year.

I found Price Charming here under the garbage can and decided to relocate him to this scenic garden area. You’re welcome. (I hope he didn’t leave a family behind. It is a long hop back across the driveway.)

This is Donna Martin. She is a 7+ year old Silkie hen with a broody disposition. She is not a Muppet or a bunny. She is loud, bossy and will bully a chicken twice her size. She is super angry about being removed from the nesting box and is ignoring me. She has been in broody jail for four full days and shows no signs of giving up. She has maximum poofiness right now so I took her picture anyway. I Donna. Donna s brooding.

My green eggs always have additional texture. I wonder why?

I have no idea what this blob is but I was impressed by the pattern. The bottom was kind of a snail foot situation. Nature. So weird.

Switching things up this week with these first generation CLS AMG wheels. I love the look but the rear offset is a bit aggressive. Time for a widebody kit… #e63wagon #e63s #e63samg #e63 #e63amg #mercedesbenz #mercedes #amg

I’m going to have to reevaluate my tomato systems. I’ve had two or three years of consistently shabby plants and low harvests. Maybe a cover crop for this winter? More compost? Start them from seed again?

Can you feel her broody rage? She’s locked out for one hour and staring daggers full time! Drama queen.

Now where did I plant the garlic bread bush? Anyone know if mozzarella is hardy in Zone 7?

Both baby and mama Bun Bun made appearances today! Neither one has any interest in the chickens. But I do think they like the company. Why else would there be here? (Endless food supply. Safe from predators.)

I’ve done something terrible. Something beyond forgiveness. Something I may regret forever. I have removed a broody Silkie from her nest of nothing and asked her to drink some water. If you were not already aware of my crime then this top volume shrieking should fill you in. This has been going on for 20 minutes. There is nothing stopping her from returning to her imaginary brood except for her #tinyfury. Please Donna, stop with the drama!

Baby Bun Bun is the cutest! I haven’t seen mom in a few days but baby has been chilling with me and the chickens every night! I can get within about 3 feet. The chickens can walk right up to her.

Baby bunny! I know that these monsters ate all of my green beans and helped the squirrels destroy my corn but…baby bunny! This cutie surprised me by hopping out from under my chicken supervising chair. She’s about the size of my hand. The mother, Bun Bun, was on the other side of the fence eating a fallen tomato. Maybe I should plant them some more green beans?

A little pollinator for my peppers! Half of my garden still has standing water from heavy rain this week. I think I’m going to lose most of my tomatoes. Bummer.

This must be that new right hand rule where the person to the right doesn’t have to stop at a 4 way as long as they give you the finger while doing it…

At first I thought this was just shoddy work on a watermelon bowl but when I held it up I discovered that it was actually their first attempt at a picture frame! My CraftsChickens are so talented! I should get them an agent.

I think it is successfully pollinated.

Snack bar! Rosie is still not feeling well so I’m trying to encourage her to eat or drink something. I think she has sour crop. I plan to call the vet in the morning.

The corn thievery is now a felony! The squirrels are taking the merchandise across state lines! (Property lines = state lines. Squirrels are small.) They ate our entire second planting. Fist shake of anger!

It is really hard to give just one chicken extra treats! Rosie is working on a little cup of oatmeal with scratch and I am defending. I have six chickens exiled to the garden, three locked in the coop, the rooster is corralling two hens and Big Red is over here supervising. Big Red does not jump and is therefore not a threat to the oatmeal at this height. She will take care of any bits that go astray. Please eat faster Rosie! Your sisters are hard to contain!

My Rosie feels a little puny today. She’s laying down, refusing treats and letting the other chickens walk near her. That is a behavior change! I am hoping it is just a light molt and the heat that is getting her down. She drank from the mud puddle I made her (That’s her preferred water source. Clean water is for pansies.) and her breathing is fine. The white on her feathers is from a dusting of Diotomacious Earth I did for #chickenlice. No one else has any issues. Please send good vibes!

The other day I saw a squirrel climb a cornstalk, tear off an ear and then carry it away in his mouth. This is not a drive-through! Or a dine-is establishment! That’s my corn! And if I have to share, we should all wait until the ears are full size. That’s just smart.
