I have three peachicks! I've got Syrax, Mad Mim & Fin Fang Foom! I am in love with them. Douma, Mina & Irving have made it to spending days outside & they are living it so far! I have to stop hatching eggs - all I end up with are roosters!

The past two months have been a blur. I was forced to resign my job due to disability discrimination, I hatched 3 chicks, and two peachicks (so far, the third is still in the process of hatching). I'm pretty sure this is a male, so I've named him Irving. Not sure about this one, but name...

Ah! Those Sebright babies are adorable!

Been awhile since there was an update! I hope everyone is doing okay. I've, unfortunately, been getting harassed and discriminated at my Day Job and that's been making my disabilities worse than they should be. I've recently gone through a process with HR (where HR sided with me, surprisingly)...

Lucien is definitely the big baby (he's always making complaining noises) & Ronan is the mama's boy. Odysseus has gone full peafowl on me & now sleeps with them instead of with the other chickens.

We had a rather bad start to December and January and my 3 younger guys with large combs all got some decent frostbite. Memnoch (top) and Lucien (bottom) both have finished going through the process with Lucien losing all of his points. Memnoch still has points but they're much shorter. Ronan is...

These have great colours in them!

With the nights pretty much already by dark by the time I get home during the week, the Dramatic Chicken In A Barn series of photos is making a comeback! This time with Lucien and Ronan. And Epiphanhy was the first of this year's new pullets to start laying eggs! She left her first one on the...

Thank you. I'm hoping this incident will get my brother and dad to help me out since I'm disabled enough that I need help. Unfortunately, I was taking their security for granted since we hadn't had a run in with predators until this year. I guess I can take comfort in knowing that the 3...

Unfortunately, my flock had their first encounter with a raccoon last night and Igor was killed. I'm really heartbroken because he was my favourite and it's not a great thing to find first thing in the morning. The other babies had some damage but are still alive. I'm hoping I can get some help...

Got the email from Meyers Hatchery saying they were having a chicken cover and I'm determined to get a good picture of my little handicapped Igor to submit. However, Epiphany and Lucien were stealing the show like some popular high school kids in a John Hughes movie. We also...

Was almost lost to the world yesterday evening. It was like they knew they weren't going to be let out to free range today & tomorrow (I'm getting my remaining 3 impacted wisdom teeth extracted this afternoon). I didn't realise how big all of them have got (except for Igor) until they all tried...

Get a replacement for him as soon as possible. They're a flock animal & are better if they have a other's to live with.

I see an avian/exotic vet for my birds. She was surprisingly difficult to find but has been well worth it for me..

Mazikeen & I went to the vet with Igor today to make sure his quality of life wasn't going to be severely impacted by his hump. Turns out that he basically has scoliosis & it is making his left hip higher than his right hip. We also found out that he found a couple pieces of tiny metal that he...

Well, they had issues with prolapse when I got them (so, shortly after they started laying eggs). I had just been more vigilant at checking them daily and catching it early when it would happen the first year I had them because things were actually improving with my TBI instead of regressing...

I would like to get some EE some day. Good looking bird with a great name. :)

Thank you. Unfortunately, we did end up having to euthanise Athena that same day I last posted. It's really hit me hard since they were my best hens & the co-leaders of my flock. It's been a rough couple of weeks. All the chicks made it to the 3 month old marker, except Igor (formerly...

Really devastated this week. My best hen, Penelope, had to be euthanised yesterday morning. We almost had to euthanise her flock sister, Athena, for the same reason yesterday evening but I'm hoping she'll make it through (they both had prolapsed vent that was really bad). I'm pretty ruined by...

I have PTSD, too. I had it before the TBI & then to a lesser extent after the car accident that caused the TBI. I've lost a lot from the brain injury, but I think losing the majority of symptoms from my PTSD were the only things I was grateful to lose. Not remembering things comes in handy...
