Horns

Louie’s horns are growing and he knows how to use them. I am bruised up everywhere. I do not think he is doing it on purpose, but he is still head butting me and using those horns on me. It is not the best thing in the world. He will learn. I know he is young, but dang those things hurt. 

Quail

The Quail have been out here often. They are getting into the chicken coop to get their feed. They are running around closer and closer to the house. I like to see them. They are interesting creatures.Those birds are beautiful. I am glad we had so many hatch on our property and they have stayed. 

Sunsets

The Sunsets out here are so beautiful. They are just mesmerizing to look at. I like to watch them. The sunrises are pretty great, too.I know I have said that several times, but I am still amazed to see them every single time. 

Mattie and Willow

Mattie and Willow are still two peas in a pod. They do everything together, even being obnoxious and getting in trouble. That is just them. I am so happy they have each other. They needed each other. I sure do love them and so does everyone else that comes around here. They are as curious as cats though. 

Snowflake and Baby

Snowflake and her baby are still doing well. I am happy about that. They are going all over the property together. Snowflake and her baby are now roosting on a higher area together. They are so cute. That baby is getting so big. It really does go fast. 

Tinkerbelle

Tinkerbelle is eating more hay. I am shocked, but it makes me so happy to see her eating more. She has been worrying me a little bit. Prada has been bullying her though, so I do not like that. I wish Prada would stop it, but it is usually only over food. Tinkerbelle is getting old. She is such a sweet girl and will not fight back. I would put her back over with Bill, but Louie needs to get fixed before I do all of that. 

Turken Chicks

The Turken chicks are getting bigger. They are going in and out of the fence. They are doing their own thing. They are not staying in the box anymore. The two that are doing well are running around and learning new things. There is one I am concerned about. I am not sure if it will make it or not. We will see.  I always hope for the best with chicks, but sometimes they do not make it. Around here only the strong survive. It has always been that way. 

Sick Chickens.

I have 2 sick chickens. I am not sure what is going on with either one of them. One of them is wounded and I have no idea what in the world happened there. The other one has been sick for a while. Ronnie took pics to the vet and the vet said she was molting, but I do not think that is accurate and with just a photo, I know it is hard to tell. She can barely walk anymore and I know she has some kind of infection. I started googling things and Ronnie went and got a lot of different kind of sprays and treatments and I am just using them all. I am hoping one of them works. They are both holding on. I am not sure how. 

Photos Sent

I am still sending photos to a certain resident in a previous nursing home I used to work in. She asks for certain animals and I oblige by sending them. I love the connection the animals give me with so many people. They are a conversation piece and they make people happy. They really do. The list she calls the kitty gang includes:  Yeller, Craig, Jeb, Prada, Louie, and the Turken babies now. 

Athena

Athena is still having some problems. I was not sure what the problem was. She went back to the vet. Turns out now she has another urinary tract infection. The vet recommended another food for the cats, so I guess that is what we are going to do. Poor girl is not loving me giving her meds agin. She is harder to catch this time because she is sick of me giving her meds. I cannot say I blame her at all. Hopefully this time it will fix her and we won’t have to do this again. For now she is going to have to deal with it. 

Baby Turkens

Ronnie and I got home to find baby Turkens. I was right, they are extremely cute. I love them already. I was shocked to see them already. I thought I had one more day. These guys might be overachievers. We will see what happens. I can already tell you, one of them is going to be a problem, it was already out of the laying box and running around. I had to put it back in the nest. 

Arkansas Trip

We Went to Arkansas for our monthly trip. We had not been in a couple months due to our Alaska trip. We celebrated all kinds of birthdays and did a little baby shower for one of the girls. It was a good time. I am glad I got to see everyone. I even got to see both of my best friends while in town. I also got to see a lady I have not seen in 20 years. She is such an angel. It was such a good visit. Those trips home may be exhausting, but they are so worth it. 

Turkens On Eggs

The Turkens are still sitting on eggs. I know it wont be long before the eggs are hatched since it has been a while since they have been sitting for a couple weeks. I am curious to see what they look like. I am sure they will be the cutest things. I really do. We shall see.
