Derperella, the (weird) Faverolles, & Friends - Page 137

You guys are the best!
Just letting you know I am still alive, and Derp is well. I am currently swamped with deadlines for work (still) and am dealing with double-foot-bumble-foot Coho in the house! I would put her back outside but she managed to get one of the feather follicles on her feet (feather-footed breeds.. sigh!!) infected on top of that, and we've had quite an adventure in keeping her feet clean and dry so that she heals properly. I've got her on antibiotics and she is doing very well. The trouble is that she is so snuggly-- she has to be sitting with me no matter where I am! her favorite thing is to shove her head into my armpit and sleep. As you might imagine, this makes working a challenge. I hope that a few feather fluffs stuck in my painting won't hurt anything....

All is well, just busy! I will post some Derp adventures a bit later this month. :)

I forgot to mention that Coho also chose this time to molt. Have you ever had a molting chicken in your house before? It sure is an experience! Thank goodness I am already used to parrot feather tumbleweeds drifting across my floor....

I am crazy about a lot of things. Chickens, reading, writing stories, and most importantly my King, Jesus. :D

maybe this will start a new trend in realistic paintings - actual feathers included.

Alrighty guys, I figured you'd be the right people to ask: I have an order placed at Meyer Hatchery and I'm considering adding a SF pullet! I figure, what's one more at this point? So, who thinks it's a good idea? Changing my order will effectively make this chick a 14 dollar chicken roll.png but I'm thinking about it. How do you think she'd do in a flock? I mostly have breeds known for docility on purpose. My breeds are: Red Star, cochin, polish, silkie, OEGB, easter egger, light brahma, buff orpington, and leghorn. Before every thinks I have a million chickens, I have only one of each with three exceptions! They're all very gentle, sweet birds. No one is really aggressive. Oh, and I have ducks. What do you think? Should I add one?
