I finished reinforcing the janky Little Red Henhouse and "The Seven" have moved in! Sof is clearly a beautiful Black Copper Maran, but the other birds are bizarre looking little mutts. We know for sure that two are Cockerels. Since Ginny was sitting on the nest Im guessing that she is likely the mother and something tells me that Jerome might be the dad of a few of them

Today was spent repurposing and recycling random pieces of wood, some from broken coops, to restructure and resecure the Little Red Henhouse that was destroyed in last winter's storms. I desperately need to move The Seven out of the temporary coop in the barn and get them into their own home. I plan to, but cant start yet, build coops from some crates we got. Ron can't get the crates off of the trailer yet, and I also still need to finish Uni's house so I can move her out of my office space. Since I cant just go buy a coop, this will just have to suffice.
Bellatrix and Amber hung out to make sure things were going well and Im pretty sure the silkies were judging me, but I got most of it done by myself. Im the first to admit that it looks kinda janky, but its sturdy and critterproof and thats what matters.

Just when I thought she was doing so well, we lost little Beaker overnight last night. I'm heartbroken but not surprised, and Liam will be devastated when he gets home from school. She was back up to 8 ounces, but nowhere near the 1.5 # she should have weighed.
Im told that before death we all have bursts of energy and feel at our best, so maybe that was yesterday. We got to play in the front yard where she romped and jumped and cuddled. Those will be good memories.
The other 3 silkies are clearly mourning and Hiccup was desperately trying to keep me away from her. Hopefully Linda will hatch another egg and we can have a new healthy baby for them.

Little BeakerBeaker is doing much better, despite needing hand-fed every day. Im pretty sure that the big malformed bump on her (yes, we've decided her) beak interferes with her vision and finding food is already more challenging for a cross beak.
Today she hung out with me in the front yard where she roamed and explored, did some sunbathing, and followed Erebos around.

Tough day today. If afraid we may lose little BeakerBeaker. I've never had a cross-beak before, but Im not sure that's the only issue this little one has. When it tries to eat it misses the food, which makes me think it might be a neurological issue. By 5 months old Beaker should weigh about 1.5 #, but we cant seem to get past 7 or 8 ounces, which makes me think it was a runt.
This morning Beaker did eat a decent breakfast of scrambled egg and drank quite a bit of Vitamin B water when given by hand, so we'll see how the day goes...

Little Beaker-Beaker got a beak trim yesterday and is going to getting a special diet of mushy food and extra protein for a while. Most 5-month old silkies weigh about 1.5 pounds by that age, Beaker only weight 7 ounces. Gotta fatten this little cutie up!

Uni spent some time outside today. Looks like she was getting some important life lessons from Bruce

I was starting to get worried because ChocoCocoa had not laid any eggs.
And now I know why.
