I know they can float (we've already tested their swimming skills in the summer when it was really hot and we wanted to help them cool down), but if they fall in a pool from which they can't get out, then they might not float forever :(

I must see this! An indignant floating chicken.

Chicks are here. Rusty is highly concerned.


That is wild that they ship them like that. Could you hear them peeping when you got the box? I guess the packing straw keeps them warm?

Tried to get some pictures of blue onion but they all turned out fuzzy due to humidity fogging up everything.

Shes nice and white with shades of blue on her butt puff and wing.



Blue wing



You should dye her blue and tell the judges she is a new type of cochin. A blue cochin.

Rafe was the biggest and heaviest, taller and broader than Dinner. He weighed about 15 pounds I think. He was the Brahma roo we'd just decided to keep, we and the hens loved him. :smith:

Why is it always your favorite?

I'm sorry to hear this :(

All chickens do this, it has to do with keeping their equilibrium.

Yeah, even though she had recovered from her bout with Cocci, was eating, drinking and carrying on normally, yesterday evening we found Peepsquire dead in one of the nest boxes. :(

I think she had just been too weakened, had lost too much weight and her heart just gave out, poor baby. We put her next to Rafe.

This has been a really lovely week.

:(

Peepsquire was a favorite of mine. How is the rest of the flock/gang taking it?

Bear is the very definition of 'chickens are dinosaurs'. She is what confirmed this for us before she was even one year old. This was long before it was popularly known like it is now, the confirmation of our suspicions was very :pwn:.

Was Bear the badass who scarfed down a lizard?

c355n4, yeahh~!! The guinea fowl!! XD

Lynza, awww little fluff ball~!

Those guinea fowl are some odd fellows. I don't have a picture of it; but, they were plucking feathers from the butts of the turkeys. The turkeys didn't seem to care or notice. Like full on sticking their heads in the turkey's butt. They also yelled at me from the roof of the nearby house. Weirdos
