Eye Candy from my Village, Village chickens I saw while dropping off my library books, and picking up ones on hold.

Such a handsome boy, wish I could take him home.

Not sure the breed but these birds where fabulous as well.

I was working so couldn’t get a picture of the stunning Game Fowl Rooster and Hens I saw earlier in the day by work.

It’s weigh in day and change the bands for new ones, they are coloured zip ties so it is important to monitor them and make sure they do not get too tight as the chicks grow. I check the bands daily.

They are all steadily growing.

4 Weeks

Peepers D’Uccle Cockerel

He is a bold boy who loves to fly up on my iPad, very outgoing lad.

2 Week Pullets

Pepper Barred Rock

She is beginning to show barring, and she is also starting to fly.

Blanche RIR

Very active girl who is much more outgoing than the other RIR.

Aveline RIR

Very mellow lady, much more relaxed and quiet.

Note on the French Maran’s we are presently uncertain on which colour variety they are… blue something… could be solid blue, cuckoo, or blue copper.

Maran #1

Very healthy active bird… still waiting for a name.

Maran #2 same weight as #1

Also full of vinegar and she seems a bit bigger boned to me.

Elvira Black Australorp

Sweet girl, surprisingly small.

1 Week Pullets Ameraucanas

Chick #1

Billina (Dorthy’s Pet Hen from the Oz Books).

Chick #2

Ozma (A Princess from the Oz Books).

Chick #3

Glinda (The Good Witch of the South from the Oz Books).

I’ve been living dangerously for years, gardening and keeping chickens. However I checked this book out of the Library, Gardening with Chickens… first thing it says is chickens can’t fly! Nonsense mine can! Some of my birds could easily fly the length of a football field! It depends on breed folks. I clip wings now to squash the long distance flights, but they all can hop up and over fences… anyway just started it. I am sure there will be some good ideas to try.
