Everyone in the yard, enjoying the outside sun and breeze...before the hot and humid BLAHCH of South Tampa hits us! We're all set, though. Our little mini barn is powered and has box fans ready to keep things cool. Water is set everywhere, Kiddie pool is filled to the brim and has big ol flat...

The more I hung out with Jeanie and her babes, the more I taken by how gentle and attentive a chicken can be. Ya ever seen a hen walk when her couple day old chicks are around? She wouldn't stand right up...more of a soldier crawl scoot walk, chicken style. I had her nest and a few feet fenced...

The twins now had their 1st ear of corn, which they figured out and went nuts for, and their 1st trip to the front run/potato patch. Jeanie still hadn't taken to them. We had hoped that by this time of the twins growth that she wouldn't be so stand offish to them like she was. She'd chase...

I'm ashamed to say and regret it too, that my family and I didn't get as involved with the R.I.R's when they were little. They were fed, safe, the temp in the brood monitored carefully, but we didn't go gaga over them like we did with our foursome. I think, looking back now, that we put them...

OK...so...around the 1st or 2nd week of February, of 2016 now... It was so hard bring Tippy home from the vet. And though it was sad to put her to rest, there was another issue to deal with. Jeanie was all alone now. She'd never been alone before, ever. I have no idea if chickens feel...

Here's Marlin, just about all full grown up. He was my "way to early to be crowing" roo. Got him in the bathroom one very early morning to keep the neighbors from coming after us with pitch forks and torches. Image the surprize that gave my wife in the shower.... Sweet little Tippy waiting...

OK, so, for as many pictures as we take of our chickens and as much as I go on about them I figure why not just start a thread of my own about these little feather headed fluff butts? So here I am. I may ramble from time to time but if that's ok by you, well read on and feel free to let your...
