Hello! I cut my own bangs at 3 a.m. with late-night energy. Thank you for watching Chicken Paradise Hawaii! Blue skies again today.
The farm is a mess
The goats panicked and ran around breaking all sorts of things, including the frame at the water spot. That uncovered the grass underneath, and the chickens, who love anything new, crowded in — there were bugs. The ducklings have grown, so I put them in the playground, and their mother Julietta decided she was done babysitting. Now they all do their own thing. I also changed the very dirty pool 30 minutes ago. Please stop!
The grey rooster who looks like Sonata still has no name — for now I just call him “Sona Grey.” He fit in surprisingly well, as if he’d always been here.
Team Charles and the bald heads
I call this group Team Charles. The biggest one is Charles, who once ran up to me as if to say “Please make me your child,” so I raised him. He’s joined by a bunch of mystery chicks who hatched or appeared since, plus the grey hens’ chicks. They’ve all moved into the medium “kindergarten” cage together.
When I moved them in, Lilikoi — who is the same age as the others or older, but only about half their size — got out, fell into the duck pool and nearly drowned. I took Lilikoi home to dry off and warm up, and in the meantime someone pulled out the feathers on some of the others’ heads! At least there was no blood. Another one fell into the outside pond, so I call that one “Ike-Pochako” (pond-splash girl). They’ll graduate soon.
The cat room
Our newest cat looks just like a wildcat. He’s actually the father of Genki and Denki. Something behind the feed store kept tearing open chicken feed bags and making a mess, and the staff kept complaining to me about it. I said I’d take it if they caught it — and they did, with no warning. If I didn’t pick him up by closing time, they’d dump him somewhere, so I went to get him.
He’s truly feral, and I know he hates this, but it’s better than being dumped. He was neutered and brought here. He’s much bigger than the other cats, so I worried about fights, but it’s surprisingly peaceful. When people are around he flattens himself; alone, he stretches out. I can touch him, and when I scratch his forehead he makes a little sound. Denki, his fluffy son, has the same glare. Hana has settled down and gets along with Kanata.
Thank you for watching Chicken Paradise Hawaii! See you in the next episode.
