The Rainbow Before Evening : January 2025

We have a pear tree full of pear last summer, sometimes, animals in the backyard stealing them before we pick them all.

If the critters use that pear tree as part of their tree or bush pathway around our yard, they usually will take the pears.

In case of our pears, there are 4 main critters to steal the fruit in our neighborhood, they are including:

- birds

- squirrels

- raccoons

- rodents

We may pick the fruits when their sizes about fist or tennis ball, then store in the dark place for a week or weeks, and they will ripen.

If we are raising chickens, we might not aware that chicken plumage falls down on daily and falling increases at a certain time.

Based on internet resources that temperature is the main factor to cause falling of chicken's feathers.

As temperature lower during Fall and Winter seasons, the chickens are molting, might be like leaves falling down from the trees.

Moreover, another factor that "broody chickens may begin to molt once they have finished caring for their chicks."

So, we no need to worry or wonder, because chickens molting is a natural process. The old feathers will be replaced by new ones.
