It has been a really rewarding experience getting the leghorns. They seemed quite surprised to come home to dirt and grass, one of them spent the whole day taking dirt baths and the others loved looking for scratch and ate like they had never done so before. They dont pick on anyone but can defend themselves. They are great with my pullets, chicks, and elder ladies. I gave them all a bath and they loved the blowdryer! Too funny.

Hey all, haven't been on here in days as so much happening at home. My golden retriever gave birth to 8 puppies yesterday and 2 stillborn for 10 total. long day!
the chickens all seemed quite stressed out -- every single one was twitching its head constantly, even a big rooster that was falling asleep... in contrast, the ducks were all cool as cucumbers, and the bunnies snoozing happily.
the main thing i learned was just how TINY bantams are -- i'd never realized before! definitely enjoyed seeing all the birds, but it was also good to come home and watch my girls running around in the garden.
my only photo:
and replacement chicks for the batch that arrived dead earlier this summer are on the way! USPS tracker says they're currently in Tallahassee, making their way from Georgia to here. hope they arrive in better shape than the last! (they will be two female cream legbars, and two unknown-gender isbars, one black & one splash)
my chickens have been in west sacramento all day. I was hoping to catch them at the post office but not up the hill yet. so tomorrow am. They are big chickens in a small box

Jason asked for pictures of the Partridge Penedesenca's so I rounded them up today. They are going to be a hand full! They are not like the EO Basque chicks....
