Chirping
Current chicks are two 3-week-old mutts, Una and Geronimo. Una because she's got one leg, Geronimo because he's more cannonball than chicken.
Also Sugar and Spice, the 3-month-old silkies. Pretty sure Sugar (white) is a cockerel and Spice (buff) is a pullet. Sugar is super chill, I'm hoping to volunteer with him as a "therapy chicken."
Mixed among our other flock are:
Summer, Joey, Nala, and Duckie the Buff Orpington girls;
Twisty, a Barred Rock "donation" from the neighbors, so named because a cat attack left her with a tail permanently tilting to the left;
Lady, Duchess, and Princess, bantam mixes (Princess is Una and Geronimo's mom);
Snow, a gray bantam mix hen who was much whiter as a chick;
Red, a rooster with a very large comb and wattles;
and McClellan, our head honcho Aracauna mix rooster who we have had for years.
Past chickens have included Patty, Bailey, Freddie, Valentino, Henrietta (who turned out to be a Henry), Little Brown, Whitey, Angel, Maisy, Odessa, Jane, Gracie Marie, September Maple, and (my all-time favorite, rest in peace) Chippy, a spunky Americauna who attacked everything that moved, except me.
