Sylvia isn't a Marans, she's a Naked Neck

Dakota, Basil, and Angle are Marans. Sweet Pea and Vony 2 are EE's. Tina is a White Leg Horn, and Rosy (short) is a Minorca? (I think she is a Plymouth Barred Rock).
the other 4 are Georgia is a PBR, Ginger is a RIR, Coney is a SL Wyandotte, Gloria is a GL Wyandotte.

Oh yeah, I forgot about the little naked neck!

Really nice picture!  Including the teensy miniature birdie!

The fly looks like a little puppet, just waiting for the bird to snatch it mid air!

Ok, I'm a dad mama, Sweet Pea is no longer with me, she is in Mary, Lisa, Louise, and Tipsy. I think Louise is the baby snatcher.

This morning my baby's were making a lot of noise, I got up, turned off the alarm and went out side. They were quite, I counted them, the ones that could not get out of the brooder and the other 6 that can...... Only I counted 5 not 6. Sweet Pea was missing. I checked and they couldn't get out of the pen..........???? I looked all over and lessoned, nothing. Then I saw a chase in the fare back corner were the "gang of 4!" Had been huddled. One of them had a leg! How?

I just found out. I have been just setting and watching, Louise!, got on top of the pen, slipped down throu an opening. :cd I got her! I closed up the entire top, made the pen smaller but now she can not get in. I am going to have to be very vigilant from now on, now that 4 of them have tasted blood. I have been growing grass in the big grow out pen, I do not know if I have that much time. In about a week the brooder will be to small. The worst thing is I have no idea just how she got out of the brooder??? She would have to have jumped straight up 30" and hit the hole on top perfectly to get out. I have a rug over it now.

There is a reason papa chicken keeps all the other hens a way from Mama and kids!

omg, so sorry, LKD. Dang, that's rough. Sweet Pea was almost 4 weeks old? She probably flew out of the brooder. Even the tiny ones can get pretty far on flying on fluff.

Love the dog snacking (presumably) on chicken poo! The patterns on that one EE are so pretty!

LKD , no matter how perfect your setup is, loss just happens. Try not to feel guilty.

Agreed. If anyone remembers, a few nights again, Procelain, the d'Uccle we got from RedRooster was looking very bad. Well, she's doing significantly better, but when I went to put her back other my other chicks, Oreo, my Splash Marans is mysteriously dead! She was perfectly fine when I locked IP last night.

At least you have an explanation for yours.
