They all sleep like they are dead. I still have a pullet called plank because she held her legs out still while sleeping was very stressful.

LOL! She is doing that too! Legs completely stretched out while on her back. Funny little chick! She's with the group now, it must have been the move after all. I just got a great pic of her, will upload it now...

my four-monthold kitten Pearl met the chickens for the first time today -- lots of curiosity and apprehension on both sides, and LOTS of clucking, but it seems to have gone well!


face to face (nose to beak?) with one of the cuckoo marans



the two half-grown Basque hens were QUITE curious about this new interloper!

I am going to put this recipe into my Drop Box Recipe file!

Quote: I need to figure out when the sourdough french bread will be finished and then start the marinade and grilling process so they finish close to the same time. I will start kneeding the bread soon. I made the sponge for the bread last night and it is very ready!

And here they are...

You have a couple of real chickens and a couple of real eye candy!

amelia is doing great, as are the rest of the younger flock -- today was actually the FIRST time they free-ranged away from right around their coop, and actually hung out with the Big Girls during the cat-introduction!



here's the whole flock, except one is missing (one of the basques, i think) -- amelia and her half-sister/cousin CL are the two closest in the foreground



and i took this just for Deann, so she can see how the basque she sold me is doing! finally blended into the younger flock, still a bit picked on by the Big Girls but getting better.

and Pearl the kitty came from the animal shelter, so i don't think she's any particular "kind" -- her coat is a mix of blue-grey tabby-stripes with some blotches of blue/cream tortoiseshell thrown in -- a most lovely mix!

oh and one more photo -- i've been training the chickens to like thistle sprouts/seedlings, as there about a million popping up with the recent rains -- and it's working! i've seen them selectively peck the thistles out of all the various grasses and other sprouts -- but they still prefer to eat them out of my hand, like Eleanor here:
