Friday and Saturday nights, I put the chickens on their roosts, knowing that they are a bit high for pullets but still hoping to train them. Imagine my surprise last night when I went to close the pop hole and discovered all five pullets roosting on their own! I’m so proud of them.
Why is she opening the big door and flashing us with that bright light?
Maybe if we go over here she'll just take pictures of the other ones.
Why did they move? Are they talking about us? Hey, I didn't poop on the watermelon. It wasn't me.
Girls, why did you move over here? You hurt Blackie's feelings.
Okay, kind readers, how do you view these maneuvers? Recaption the pics!
What, you want a recipe too? How about if I post ice cream recipes next?

Some icecream recipes sounds great. It has been so hot around here we need something to cool us off
How about peach? It’s a bit past peach season in Texas, but that’s what I made last night.
I’ll be hoping for rain and cooler weather for you too. It looks like that last tropical investigation headed into the Atlantic. I was so hoping for it to head toward Texas and then Arkansas.
Hmmm…. your birds are clearly intelligent, articulate and above average. Excellent communicators!
No recipe required. We’re more flexible than you might think!
Oh, but Eleanor, I seem to lose a subscriber with every chicken post (including today’s). As for the chickens, at least they’ve got the smarts to wrap me around their sweet little wings.
Ah…. I suppose ice cream is more attractive to the masses. On the other hand, you have to speak from your heart. If it’s the chickens that are calling you to write, it’s chickens you must write about! That said, I’ll happily read about your peach ice cream too!
I paused in my chores today to take a few pictures of a bowl of peach ice cream.
That means I can post the recipe soon.
i’m getting my chicken cage today. It has been made for me by a friend and I have no clue how he has made it – I hope it looks as cozy as yours. Can’t wait to get my chickens!
How exciting! Do you have your chickens already? What is the most dangerous predator you’re securing your birds from? Seriously, is it lions? That would be scary.
I just skimmed back on your blog and saw that you have birds much bigger than chickens: ostriches! Wow.
New Hampshire Reds…good breed,lay year ’round.No exp. with other breeds,little partik about nesting box…need covered.Roosters can be tough..spur.2 per 20 seems to work and we good hatch out.
Well, as I will detail in a future post (soon, I swear, soon!), we ended up getting more “hens,” two Buff Orpingtons, a Sussex, and an Easter Egger. So far my roosters are incredibly sweet. Again, more to come . . . .
