Adorable silver sebright Bantam!

He's new to our flock and so far he's really made quite the impression on them

This is the youngest silkie... only one not laying. Though maybe that’s what she’s doing today.

She’s so fluffy!!

Hello, everyone! It's been a while, huh? Hope all your sweet little bantams are doing well.

I took a break from BYC due to sad situations.....I've lost many members of my flock recently (combination of old age and predation). It's been settled that we won't be getting any more birds until time and money allow for an enclosed, secure run.

Well I've just lost one to sickness two weeks ago. I understand the frustration. Chickens can drive you crazy!!!

Oh dear....I'm so very sorry for your loss.

They truly can. My heart is absolutely broken each time someone turns up missing. It's too much, and can't continue, simply for my sanity.

I definitely understand...Chickens are supposed to be fun!?
Well here's a rule. Don't get attached to anyone and disease or predation happens..
Having fun yet?

Exactly. It's ALWAYS the favorites who either get killed, or die of illness. Never fails!
Quite honestly, I'm having the time of my life!

But, on a brighter note, I've taken up caged birds.....a somewhat less stressful hobby.
