We start this post with the sad news that Brutus the Buff Orpington rooster died this past week. RIP to a good rooster in that he never 1) attacked our dad or mom, 2) never bothered us, and 3) took care of his hens every way he could.
The hens will carry on with what they do best, however:
Looking like one of the newer chicks is bigger than their sibligs and developing spurs so the replacement rooster might already have joined the flock...
The teens--3 Buff Orpingtons 3 Australorps
The newest 3 Blue-Laced Red Wyandottes
The teens have already transitioned to the yard. The youngest will likely move in next week and we can reclaim the back room!!!
This Corona Virus lockdown has challenges for we perros piraticus though:
Beany plays dead in the backyard
Leny reading dad's book Ducks, Newburyport
Nothing else to do
Cheeky's bored and napping
Then there's the cat with the hashtag---#henrilechat---either taking up all the available space or contemplating an escape:
Look at the size difference between Henry and the Keliosaur
Checking the dog/cat door to see if the coast is clear
Are you speaking to me????
And I can take up the bed or the chest!!
Stay indoors, stay safe, wash your hands, and don't touch your face!!!! And no, we don't carry the virus and you can't catch it from us!!!!
