Fowl pox is clearing up nicely. There have been no deaths. Some chickens have thus far been unaffected, so I understand we have a reoccurrence/continuance of the unpleasantness. Appetites seem good, as does general health.

Andromeda and the chickens aren't sure what to do with one another.
The guinea flock has remained stable since the fox attacks. The babies have grown so much that, at first glance, they are indistinguishable from the adults. Their faces don't yet have the "painted" look, but I can see it developing.
Behind them, the orchard is doing well.
I am slowly redeeming the strawberry patch. There is a distinct emphasis on the word "slowly."
We're having the obligatory fall "odd" weather. The wind, clouds, and animals all indicate that mischief may be afoot!

Until next time, remember, this is not paradise. It's Purgatory Ranch.
