BARN NEWS:

Big News- we have seven ring neck pheasant chicks.
They are one week old now and living in the bathroom at home. The bathroom's temperature is kept at 95 for them. A bit of misery for the humans.
We hope to release them at 8 weeks or sooner if the bathroom gets too small! They are exercising their wings as of this morning.
Alan is busy building an aviary for them.

WORD OF THE MONTH:

A group of pheasants is a bouquet (I love that idea). Spring is a perfect time for a bouquet. The group is also called a nest or a nide. In art, the pheasant is the symbol of elegance and word origin is from the Greek for bird of the river.
