Antics of a blind hen...
- I'm having a dust bath. Don't care if full dark was 45 minutes ago. It looks fine to me!
- I found a nesting spot. Don't care if you can still see my butt, it looks fine to me!
I've been crazy busy between toddlers and teenagers, dogs and chickens, work and house, teen driving lessons and digging in the dirt... all the crazy roosts here. I'm in SE PA, how's it up there?
The pretty fabric pattern you see there is actually a saddle. She had lost several feathers on her back before she came to us, so with roosters in the house, I figured it was the better part or valor...

Me too! Mom was a Rhodie, and dad was a Brahma, so he's got this two-tone thing going... Along with the triple row of the Rose comb, with the height of a single comb... He's such a cool mix.
🎶 ...You must be swift as the coursing river
with all the force of a great typhoon
with all the strength of a raging fire
Mysterious as the dark side of the moon.. 🎶
