Wow he has a pretty unique crow. I wonder if he will be a laughing crower.

Molly looks really nice!
Lil Girl is adorable and Weird Alice has a lovely tuft in the first picture.
I want to see your Lulu.
I need to get more pictures of my Araucanas tomorrow.

I need to get pics of Lulu and the Splash pullet. Oh, and Tim (short for timid), the clean faced mottled cockerel I kept that ACTUALLY KEPT HIS MOTTLING! .
I would love to see new pictures of your girls.

They are so beautiful!
I wish I had a good camera. The one I want is $700. I could get another chicken coop for $700, so if I had $700 to spare I think we all know how that would turn out!

Where can you get a coop for $700?

Where can you get a coop for $700?

There are several people around here that build them for $600-$1000. I have a 6'x5'x6' (the one Mano's group is in) that I can split in two for brooding or an extra breeding coop. I paid $800 for that one.

Well, it looks like I'm going to have to remove Tim from his (and Mano's) flock. I was really hoping he could stay there until the end of Feb/early March when I was going to put him in a breeding pen with Ratchet and T'Pau, but Manolito is no longer tolerating his presence. I've noticed the past few mornings Tim doesn't come out of the coop. Since I have the day off I've sat in front of the security camera in Mano's run observing, and several times I've seen Mano chase him. He never catches him, but runs him like the dickens. I've never seen any blood or disheveled feathers on Tim so I just assumed everything was ok between them. I don't get it - the cockerel I got rid of a few weeks ago (Tim's full brother) tried to crow a few times and tried to mount Lulu a few times and Mano never scolded him. Poor Tim doesn't do either of those things and he has spent the last 10 minutes hiding in the corner under a plastic table.
