Not really wacky, but I thought it was funny.  These pics were taken within a few minutes of each other.

Abalone and Pearl
Both 6 months
Both female
Pure Ameraucana's

Think she'll notice if we steal her apples?

Who us?  We're not doing anything.  Really.

Damien gets my vote! great pic - I wish I could catch mine while they play football with a mouse or small copperhead.

I have a RIR pullet named Hawk
age 10 mos
has her own dog, Vixey, a Belgian Malinois - dog shares treats and plays with her (no contact, lots of whining and flapping)

Hawk has learned the Play Bow to solicit play fights with dog

This little guy (Bantam Cochin) hatched, and then crawled back into the carton - not sure if he's just waiting for his sibling in the egg next to him to hatch, or just climbed up to get a better look around!  (You can still see the yolk sac on his belly!)

One thing is for sure. The price of a dead hen is a dead pred.
