tandykins Mr Lamington is very handsome and I love his name; he does look like a lamington

Love the breakfast-club pics! I remember when I used to be able to eat breakfast or lunch in the garden without having four vocal gannets dancing around .. I wouldn’t go back to it though; love my gannets!

Love the baby pics and for what it is worth, yep the first one looks like a roo to me also, but take that with a grain of salt, chicken sexing is definitely not my forte’.

Great news on Bumblebee; kudos!

Lamington is the sweetest little crumpet. We call him Lammy Lamington. He's terribly gentle and loves a good cuddle. I want to encourage this as much as I can while he's young.

My hens are getting a bit entitled when it comes to food. The dining table is right next to the back window so when they see me inside eating meals they're crowded around the window wondering where theirs is. I've noticed that chickens fall for the false-food-throw as much as dogs do. >.>

Yeah sexing is hard at this age - especially with crossbreeds when you don't know which chickens made which chicks. The little boy is looking super cute. I'm pretty sure his dad is actually my GSH roo. He's black with a golden spangled spot around his chest and he's getting golden tips on his wings. I'm interested to see how he turns out!




Bumblebee is doing really well - except that she's still so shy she tries to go to bed on the laundry door Every. Single. Night.



Srsly? Come on.

So this is a thing right now. I've found one of these every single day for the last week or so. I'm not sure which bird it's coming from - but I suspect my moulting Silver Laced Wyandotte Buttface. I'm not even sure what this is. A thin-shelled and weirdly shaped egg of some description. They've been on the poop board every day so they're being laid on the roost. She's a bit malnourished (started to moult immediately after brooding eggs/chicks) and I'm wondering if it's thrown everything out of whack. It's -quite- large. I can't fathom the other chickens I've got who aren't laying (too young or also getting over broodiness/moulting) laying something this large as they're both smaller chickens. Buttface normally lays quite large eggs.

Ideas? I'd suspect some kind of lash egg if it didn't appear to be a totally normal egg with a weird, messed-up thin shel (with a weird shell-tail on one end that seems to be made of a strip of shell curled up).

My Speckled Sussex who my dog mauled yesterday is worse than I thought. Found her left side all torn up too.

I've terramycined both wounds and she's seems ok. Eating, drinking and pooping.
She even laid an egg yesterday, found it in the cage with her when I got home.
My poor sausage

Molting now over and the green eggs are back!

Got my first egg from coco today, it was a little olive coloured egg, she mmade her a tiny little nest in the back of the coop, very exciting as she hatched from a brown egg and there wasn't a huge chance sheshe would lay coloured egg.
