The school hens are pecking back. Popcorn and Diamond stick together. Sara is still hiding. The bunnies are still in their small cage. Mosquito is worried because it looks as if they don't move around at all.
I hear loudly then see a Red-whiskered Bulbul in the yard!!!! This is a bird is native to tropical regions of Asia, including India, Nepal, Bangladesh, Myanmar, and the south China coast. I wonder if the big storms have blown it here off course. I report it to the county bird compiler and he tells me it may be an escaped pet or may be moving in our county from established populations in southern California. What a beautiful song! I would love to have bulbuls in my yard more.

Sara escaped in the morning so I clipped her wings.
Sara tries to be very still so no one will see her. She has found the darkest part of the chicken yard and stands still in it all day. It is covered with mallow hibiscus and next to the palm. She is pecked by everyone. Definitely at the bottom of the pecking order. I set up a separate bowl for her food because she won't eat next to anyone else. She stands very still if another chicken comes. I think she thinks she is invisible.
The school hens are getting pecked. Everyone is so noisy all day. Since we already have a chicken named Penny, we renamed school Penny, Diamond. Diamond is a Silver-Laced Wyandotte like Coco. We decided to rename Speckles too, because of the school Speckles that died last year. We named her Isabella after her benefactor.
We made a run for the bunnies because their cage is really small, but they escaped. It was really hard to catch them and it took a long time. We were all tired and dirty after. We renamed the bunnies, formerly Tara Bunny and Chen Rabbit. I could never remember their names or tell them apart. They are now Founds (black nose and ears) and MacKenzie (gray nose and ears).
Shei Shei Mosquito and Mei Mei (Younger Sister) Cob-weaver Spider rake the whole chicken yard.
Sara roosted outside on top of the coop. I moved her in the coop.
I started clipping Coco's toe nails after the chickens went to roost. They are really long and curled. I can only cut a little at a time, otherwise I will cut into the quick of the nail and it will bleed a lot.

Garden Math Problem: I have to cut 1 inch from Coco's nails. I can cut 1/16th inch per day. How many days will it take to cut and inch from Coco's nails?
