So Eli is steadily getting better and even seems more energized than before.
He will be getting the snippity snip soon - he has been feeling so good, his buck nature is coming out and he has been head-butting Jason and the 'About An Acre' carpenters (who came into the fence to get an idea of what to build for the little booger to climb on, and where to build it). It is a GREAT sign that he is feeling so good, but not good that he is behaving this way and the manhood of Eli will be leaving us as soon as his face is completely healed....
On another note, he is climbing anything and everything and has an appetite that I haven't seen in him in a long time.
The cows out there have gotten wind that I like to give treats, so they decided Saturday morning to wait for my arrival down to the acre. These cows were the most evasive creatures a couple of weeks ago, and after the black and white cow got snacks last weekend, I am pretty sure she spread the word to her little herd. Funny but a little scary that they are totally unafraid of me in the least bit.
All of the chickens now know to use the ramp to come and go, and most of the girls are laying where they should - in their nesting boxes.
I walk around the field everyday to gather the few eggs that are scattered here and there and usually find only about four - and they are all blue....hmmm....wonder which chickens those are coming from....those Americaunas....they make me feel like I'm on an Easter egg hunt every day.......
The babies (Milly, Misty, and Ellen) are getting bigger everyday and so cuddly. This morning I held little Milly for about thirty minutes while Misty tried to eat my hair and Ellen did spinning jumps around me and Taco was using my knee as a scratching post. I will post pics soon of the little ones - I left my camera hanging on the chicken coop down in Eli's field...
