When we had 8 and thought it looked empty, we ended up with 21 by the time we were done... good luck!

Haha! I only have a 32sq/ft coop. I really don't want to put more than 8 birds in there. Well, maybe 9....

I know. Such a good subject. When I was uploading the pics I took of them this afternoon, I had over 200. I have some other great ones as well. Duckie moves very quick!!!! Will be sad to see her go but she needs to be with her own kind and lots of water to splash around in.

That she is.

Daughter and I are gonna hit the feed store tomorrow. They said they have various Wyandottes right now. We originally wanted some Columbian and Golden Laced to go with our Orpingtons and Barreds, but I ordered them too early in the season to get those breeds.

Here is a video from this morning. Still looks so much like a hen. Do you think it may be gender confused? Hate to get rid if s/he is a hen.

Cackling rooster and crowing hen come to no good end. A picture of the saddle feathers might clear up the question. What do the feet look like?

Chicken math is setting in on my wife. She saw Cindy's post about the chicks she has and pointed them out to me. She wants me to be the bad guy and tell her no more. We'll see how this one turns out. I have a hard time telling her no to anything.

A question on owls... My Mom has had an owl or two, depending on the morning, perched on her neighbor's roof. She says it was a Great Horned Owl. Are they anything to worry about with the chickens? We let our girls out at 0400 Hours every morning and my Mom is three doors down. My wife sees them on the lightpoles, too, occasionally. There are all sorts of warnings on hawks, buf I don't recall a mention of owls.

Night all. Work comes early for us.
