Baby chicks not so little anymore - photo session! :)

She is a living teady bear...

This is one of my Easter eggers, Dotson, all she wants to do is snuggle... and, snuggle, and snuggle, and snuggle, and eat, and snuggle, and snuggle, and snuggle, and... yeah, you get it. She will come over and wait for you to pick her up. Once she is on your lap, she will wiggle her head under your arm. I imagine that this reminds her of being under her mother's wing or something. A reall big baby.


Sometimes she will jump on you shoulder, which isn't always the most pleasant. Dotson will also follow you and come when called. Confetti will come when called too, but not follow you.

Awww!! She seems so cute! I would love to have one as snuggly as her! We once had one who would jump on your shoulder too! Not the most pleasant experience. EEs are the BEST!

This is Ruby, my "blue laced red wyandotte", but I think she is a little too light to be considered "blue". So I call her a splash laced red wyandotte. I sometimes also call her by a nickname, Squeaky, because she makes the same adorable squeaky clucks as Confetti. She is kind of flighty, but when picked up, she might stay in your lap forever. She started crouching, so hopefully she will lay her first egg soon. Ruby also tucks her neck into her body, and YES, it is SO CUTE! (Especially when combined with her adorable clucks)
She comes when called, and will sometimes jump on my arm if there is food involved.

She is always going where we don't want her. She has the most adorable cluck, but will not let you touch her. If you touch her she will squawk and give you this terrible 'NA-A Don't you be putting your big grubby hands on my beautifulness!" Ah, it's just that look that is SO ANNOYING. But I think the reall reason she doesn't want to be touched is because she is the bottom of the pecking order, so the other's will swarm her if she gets any attention.

Do you remember when she started laying? Mine is six months old and no signs of laying (Brahma and Hamburg not laying yet either). Maybe the hurt leg is a problem though. Nothing slows her down, she skips all over the yard now instead of running. I have no idea how she hurt herself.

She isn't laying yet, haha! Confetti is exactly 27 weeks today!


...Although I got a first egg from our wellsummer, Spark, today! ... and one from Ruby yesterday!
IT IS SO HARD TO WAIT, but luckily my girls have finally started. (Some of them, five )

This is one of my welsummers, Spark. She was yelling the egg song at the top of her voice the whole day, yesterday, and she layed her first egg! I see why she was making such a fuss, though, the egg was the same size as my golden laced wyandotte's eggs! (My GLW has been laying for around a month or two. She is in the second photo behind Spark.) Spark is not exactly friendly, but she follows the others when they are called, so atleast she comes! Spark will also follow me... but then, practically all my girls follow me accept the wyandottes. She was sold as a speckled sussex, but obviously she is not one! She likes to scream a lot... but I think that's just a welsummer thing.
