In my case they're sparrows, or wrens, not sure which. Little brown and grey things. They make quiet, cute little noises and breed like rabbits lolbaronrenfrew wrote:QR_BBPOST Sparrows or starlings?

Wrens tend to be solitary with a pointed beak, horizontal shape and perky tail!

Good Morning!
Good morning everyone!
last weekend i built and installed the tightest fitting door that i dared at the top of the stairs to the loft. And yesterday i chased out 3 birds in the morning (1 starling and 2 sparrows) and yesterday afternoon there was just one lonely little sparrow up there, and this thing was hiding under feed bin trolleys, getting behind the studs anything to get away from me shooing it out. i finally got it out, and this morning there were NO birds other than chickens up there!!!! fingers crossed!!!!
beautiful morning, even if it's COLD. BRRRRRRR. Friend of mine got a 10 point old old big old buck last night. she was out hunting in that cold...paid off! she's a very happy camper today! and today is my last day of work before surgery. tomorrow i work from home doing some writing and then it's getting everything packed up that i'll need and hopefully the snow isn't too bad for monday early morning to drive in. it's time...definitely time to get this taken care of. then i'll be off work and at home for at least 3 months, healing up. hopefully doing it right the first time! LOL
and amazingly the waterers are all liquid again this morning! whoohoo! a nice balmy -18. so. hopefully the new thermostats are working just fine and will last the winter. Have to find my other heated hose though, looks like the one in the barn gave up...it was definitely not heated yesterday! and yes, it was plugged in (i checked) LOL. just have to find the spare one....
if people are not able to see the reindeer on the PTO site (like i wasn't able to!!!!) i figured it out....you have to clear the cookies from the board (scroll to the bottom of the PTO site, and beside the colour picker there's a clickable link "clear site cookies". click and say yes. Then if you use firefox you also have to clear the PTO cookies in the options for firefox-click on the menu bar (top right corner, the 3 horizontal lines, options, privacy, and under the history section "removed selected cookies", the search for poultytalkontario.net, and select all the cookies with that in the name, and delete them by clicking "remove selected".) then exit firefox, reopen and go to PTO, type in your username and password and the entire christmas theme should appear.
Hope everyone has an awesome day!!!!!

OC that's soooo nice to see. We used to have a family of 3 sleep in our backyard until one got killed on the road. Haven't seen them since.

Yes. The eggs were from Kyle and are ameraucana/light brahma crosses. They both look different, one looks wheaten ameraucana the other light brahma but both have feathered legs.
