they lay the blueish eggs. they took a lot longer to start than the other girls and we thought they might be roosters. happy they are not!
frida really wants an egg 🙂
day 4494: odin’s thrift store Halloween costume game is strong.
post saturday morning soccer game thrifting at goodwill.
theodore, neutered and medicated.
…and apparently veeeeeery relaxed.
theodore doesn’t appreciate a ride to the vet. soon, he’ll appreciate it even less.
theodore is not pleased with the ride to the vet to get snipped. he was calm but his expression said it all.
finally we have definitive proof that at least one of the ameraucanas is not a rooster.
all of the other girls from our new flock of backyard chickens have been laying for weeks, but no blue eggs from the ameraucanas. we were beginning to think they might be roosters ( though they were lacking other very obvious rooster traits ) or they were doing a good job of hiding or eating their eggs.
but, whoohoo, today we had a surprise in the nesting box!
they don’t taste different but for some reason having blue eggs in the fridge adds a little more fun to the cooking routine.
frida and theodore’s friendship deepens? or maybe theodore just likes the taste of dog ear.
theodore has taken to cleaning frida’s ears. i know what it means when dogs do that to each other, but not sure if meaning is same between cats and dogs.
either way, frida doesn’t seem to mind 🙂
today might be the day i learn how to sail.
maybe! i mean, it’s just sitting there at camp. why not?
what could possibly go wrong?!
