I couldn't help but just be happy when I saw these feathers sprouting out of Minerva. He's like an unknown flower you've fed and watered as a seedling and felt desperate at times as to whether it would bloom to be a blue bonnet or a rose. You see, I wanted the rose. And I've grown one!

Jiggity Jog

The chickens have feathered out sooo beautifully! Dragon here, is one of the three prettiest, and she looks comfortable, doesn't she?
I do worry for the heat factor though. Today I sprayed down the chicken run in hopes that will help some. I've asked Pop (for the third time) to get them a mister, so that will be nice for them.
They still don't have any roosts! Poor biddies! Oh well, SOON!

A Wedding

This was my bouquet! I could have crushed it, I loved it so much.

Rupert

Minerva is becoming more and more to me like a Rupert, so for now that is what I shall call him. He is still sooo sweet and very patient. A long time ago though, I noticed he has a few problems and I can't understand what they could mean. He constantly flops down on the ground holding himslef in a sitting position. He'll sit and eat, sit and drink,... and also when he is up and about he kind of drags his wings at times? Other than that he seems a very fine rooster. Rupy's on the large side and has a handsome coloring. If you look under his feathers, you can see some bright orange and red ones coming in! I'm speaking from the time this picture was taken, before I went to Virginia for Autumn's wedding. Well hopefully it's just growing pains:)
