Great job! I want a tractor for my chickens. Are there any tweaks you'd make to another one if you were to make it again?

She freaks out, and I think I've developed an allergic reaction to dander. This kept her calm and did the trick. It was hot, so the box dried quickly.

With one hand I lifted this hen with the back of a small rake, while the other hand steadily held my hose on shower mode...long enough to be tired from holding it! She was loving it. It took three 'treatments,' but it worked. She came out of her trance and cooled down in these hot summer temps too.

Life in the Orchard

Oh wow! One of my 14 week old chicks shocks me every so often by trying to eat the mole on my neck! Ouch! I'm sure you'll see your 'chocolate diamonds' soon enough. I just hope they don't 'cut your chicken up' before it's cooked!

Here is my young roo. Is he a Crele? ATTACH=full]1106514[/ATTACH]

Anyone have in guesses what mix my Crele colored roo may be?

Here's my gorgeous Riley Roo. I posted also a picture of the sire. Mom is a silver. There is definitely OEG in the original hen.

Here are my pink eggs! I found these eggs today. I didn't realize my hens were laying yet! My broody lays the pink eggs. One of her girls first eggs look like a pale blue next to hers! Am I right?

Yes, my Charlie 'Macho' did today. He also 'became a man's today as well, lol. I think he's just proud of himself!

My hen lays pink eggs! The outside color is a creamy pale pink, but the inside of the egg is the most beautiful shade of pink. It looks like the inside of a seashell. She is sitting on her first clutch of eggs which are due to hatch in four days! I think the Roo is a RIR. What will come of this...

I am going to try incubating a couple of Charlie Red's fertile eggs. The hardware store is also selling chicks in a week. I can't wait. But I believe my little hen loves her solitary life too! It will be an adventure! I'll let you know what happens!

Update on Charlie Red. She's now quite at home in her coop I bought her in October. She still free ranges in the day, gets visits from a neighbor rooster almost daily, and is laying pink eggs! She's gained weight and turned into a very pretty hen! At this point I'm fairly certain she qualifies...
