The Self Quarantine Edition

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!!!!
