What an amazing summer we’ve had! The warm days just feel so great and the cooler evening made sleeping a breeze. Life in the coop is going well. Lost one of Ladybird’s babies. It got stuck under the palette and suffocated. It was sad, I knew something was wrong when I couldn’t find her. The other one is still clinging to mama who really is done with all that but seems ok with having her around.

Watched the eclipse from the coop, as I had heard many birds go to bed when the eclipse happens, I was curious. It never got that dark and noone went to sleep. Oh well. 2024 looks like a full eclipse for us, so I’ll try and see what happens then.

Fall is in the air. September is here and the cool nights and sunny days are just lovely.

Here’s Tiny, my Millie De Fluer. I just love her she’s so adorable. And Teeny my Dark Brahma bantam. ( she was supposed to be full size) Both were so small I didn’t think they’d survive but they did ok. Teeny has won my heart, she is so friendly and sweet, I pick her up and she just loves being around me.

Here is Sunshine and Butters. I lost Buttercup to pecking, it was really tragic. She was clearly the biggest hen in there but a gentle giant and I tried to save her but she was too weakened by it. This year has been a rough one at the Fallensky.
