Chickens are the most beautiful birds.

They take my breath away.

We're getting even more storms!

Thankfully before the storms hit Jackson and I were able to get in a walk.

Jackson has discovered grasshoppers and crickets in the yard, so now he's even more serious during our walks.

He's on a mission.

I know it's natural for chickens to hunt, but it's hard for me to see.

I remember last year when Jackson discovered slugs.

I tried my best to see them first and detour him, but it's very difficult to out see a chicken.

Their eyes are designed to see bugs in the yard way better than ours are.

Their eyes keep an eye out for predators AND hunt at the same time.

They focus on two things at once.

Chickens are amazing in so many ways.

Thankfully Mike was able to save a frog from Lucky this morning.

I was glad about that.

I've been working in The Mason's attached run doing finishing touches on their predator proofing.

Mason keeps a close eye on me when I'm working in their space.

I turned around to head inside, to cool off for a few, and there was sweet Sam.

I squatted down to take her photo and Mason, who was watching me from the perch, said "oh heck no you're not squatting down that close to Sam!"

You can see him springing into action to let me know I crossed a boundary.

Mason is so fricking fast.

It took him maybe 1.25 seconds to make his way to Sam.

He moves as fast as lightening when it comes to Sam and Patsy.

Roosters are protective of their family.

It's a natural as natural can be to them.

I've never cared for a rooster who is as protective as Mason though.

He's super overprotective with them.

He was taken away from his family when we took him in.

He will always make sure his family will never be separated again.

Morning meds with Mason.

Mason gets his heart medication twice a day.

First thing in the morning and right before bed.

I carry Mason out to the run first in the morning, give him his medication and then I bring Sam and Patsy out to their run.

He gets all excited when I carry the girls out.

Mason's meds are out of the way, he's ready to greet Sam and Patsy and they start their day. ❤️

Look at it human! It's perfect! It's just sitting right there saying "I belong in Jackson's belly!"

It really does human.

I can taste it.

I can't reach it human so will you please pick that beautiful strawberry that belongs in my belly?

You will?!

Great!

Thank you!

Jackson got his solar fan today!

His feathers are a flying!

He has a nice breeze flowing in his run and that breeze is because of you!

Your donations helped us to be able to get this fan for Jackson.

Jackson and I say thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Your support means everything to us. ❤️🐓

If you need a Friday smile, hopefully Myles can give that to you.

One of his nicknames is Smyles because no matter what's going on in life, Myles always makes us smile and that smile is often accompanied by giggles.

He also has the nickname Mini Moo.

Myles is small but mighty.

He belts out the loudest crowing songs and he takes the best care of his family.

In the evening he gets tucked into bed last.

Once we get Cyana, Lucy and Lucky tucked into bed, he gets some time to himself before we tuck him in.

Myles walks around the run snacking and grumbling (he grumble talks like an old man). "Those ladies. Those ladies wear me out. I need some space to wind down humans. Grumble. Grumble. Grumble."

It cracks us up but we tell him we totally get it because he's a very busy roo taking care of his family.

Without a doubt, Myles is a very old soul.

You can see it in his eyes.

I think he's full of wisdom.

I tell him he's a chicken Yoda.

Chicken town closed early tonight because we have another storm rolling through.

The chickens weren't happy about it (especially Mason), but they are tucked in, dry and safe in the chicken barn.

Beautiful Mason ❤️

Yesterday he did the predator call. Jackson joined in and they were really upset.

I went running out and that's when I saw her.

A beautiful deer behind The Mason's run.

I don't think they've seen a deer before, so I imagine she was scary to see.

But then again, they've had me running out in a panic only to see a little squirrel running across the yard.

Chickens are very sensitive.

Especially Mason.

He's ultra sensitive.

I just realized a couple of days ago that Mason has been here for a year.

Last month was his gotcha month.

Every day I am grateful that this ultra sensitive roo found his way to sanctuary.

I've never experienced a summer like this before. The heat just won't let up and the humidity is awful.

Myles and Lucy were showing signs of being too hot, so the Myles Crew is in with the AC.

Thankfully, so far, Jackson and The Mason's are doing just fine.

I'll be constantly checking on them.

Since The Myles Crew is in with the AC, I moved Jackson over to their run for the day.

That way Jackson has their fan if he needs it.

We are out of ways to run more power cords out to the runs. Today I had to order Jackson an outdoor solar fan for his run.

Thank you for your support.

I couldn't do this without your help.

I said thank you to you as I placed the order for Jackson's fan this morning.
