We had an intruder in the yard yesterday. Fortunately the girls were in their enclosed coop patio area. How did we know about this, you ask, cause the girls set up such a ruckus you could hear them up and down the street.
I have been under the weather, but Cal ran outside and chased the damn cat away. Frankly I think Barbara could take any cat, but don't want to test that hypothesis.We never leave them out in the yard when we are gone.
Today they cruised all over the yard, clear over to the east side yard and found a hiding place in the bushes causing Cal to think he had somehow lost them. He scoured the yard to no avail until finally hearing adorable coos from behind the bushes. There they were hunkered down bathing in the dust, having a great time. Mable scurried out and made a break for the deck, hopping up on the hedge, running along is then jumping down and heading for the coop.
My Mom came by and went out with me to see them, she even threw some scratch for them, See she is afraid of chickens, but is warming up to them.
I spent the day in bed and the girls frequently sat on the door mat outside the bedroom slider resting, lucking, and just peering in at me. I did venture out to cuddle with Mabel, and Barbara laid another egg. She is a mechanic in the egg laying department.
It was a basically quiet day, well except for the cat that is. Damn cat!
Hoping to feel better tomorrow friends.
