It's been a while since my last post, so I thought I'd start with a summary view of some of the things we've been up to during the last days of summer.
All of our youngest poultry are now outside and fully adjusted to their new habitats. (Well, except for our juvenile ducks who still love to invite themselves in whenever the downstairs door is ajar!)

| Dog food? We thought you said DUCK food! |
 |
| Hi, it's us again! We'd like the orange bag please. |
 |
| Knock knock! We know you're in there! |
Now on to chickens. We love all the beautiful and interesting colors our pullets and roos are developing as they feather out and continue to grow. Fully grown chickens look so different from what they looked like as baby chicks, so it's like watching a mystery unfold! And their personalities are all totally unique.
 |
| Exploring their new digs. Safety in numbers until they know it's safe! |
 |
| Couldn't resist getting a shot of this chicken butt lineup! |
 |
| Romanoff always likes to stand IN the food plate. |
 |
| This is our German Bielefelder couple, Mr. & Mrs. Beasley. He also goes by Mister Mister. |
 |
| The Motley Chicken Crew |
 |
| Our three roos: Lewis, Angel, and Mister Mister. |
Also, finally just the other day, for the first time, I witnessed Lewis practicing his crow. Previously I had only heard crows while they were all in the coop, so I didn't know for sure who it was. (Funny, just as I am typing now, I hear him practicing again outside!)
We also have another new addition to our farm! We recently watched
Peter Rabbit on Netflix, and then by the end of that same week I came home to this new bunny.

| Look at that adorable face! |

| Sunshine AKA Sunny Bunny |
 |
| Sunny Chillin' |
This, of course is only a small tidbit of all the happenings that have taken place over the past few weeks, so I will label it "Part 1" of a series. Stay tuned to the next episode for Denali's visit to the Lowe's Halloween display, Jax in high places, and perhaps an update on my gardening adventures.
