You've always got the best pictures and stories!
And, the best chickens. <3 them!
Wow your chickens are PLUMP
So cute. Have they molted yet?
They seem to eat alot more when they know winter is coming up. They gotta have their "blubber" to keep them warm, LOL!
and Blubber they haveFat little things, they are.
Yeah, we're finding feathers all over the yard, but I don't think they are in full moult yet. Mostly the feathers are golden, not barred or black, or golden laced yet. But it'll be happening soon!
Oh yeah, that thought got pushed aside. She was just a late bloomer, when it came to size. Now she's still the smallest of the flock, but she's normal size for her breed.and Blubber they have
Lucy is really big now. So much for the bantam thought
Everyone still laying? I can't wait to see Gloria in full molt. You better post her picture to the contest this year
I do too! I would take them in a heartbeat. Whats their storys? When I get back from FL (we're leaving in a week, and staying 2 weeks down there) and get the new coop renovated, we have 2 special needs birds around us that need a new home. Blind ones. Anytime you're planning a vacation, come to massachusetts!
Much, much better. We have been applying blu-cote everyday to it to keep it clean, atleast until the first snow (we'd have blue snow, LOL!). Then we'll wait and see how her leg fairs without the blu-cote. She still limps, she must of got stepped on by a horse, or something happened when she was young and it will probably never heal.
But we're doing everything we can for her, feeding her plenty of treats to keep her nice and plump, and letting her live a relaxed life w/ her chicken-sister, Penny.
I have a little silkie with a leg issue, it's a bit splayed, but she gets around. Not as fast, but she manages. I also have an Easter Egger who has scissor beak. He/she also had splayed leg as a chick, but we corrected that. Now the beak is all crazy and we call him/her (still not sure about that) Edward Scissor Beak. I also had a barred rock with wry tail (kind of like Sophia did, but not as severe).Oh yeah, that thought got pushed aside. She was just a late bloomer, when it came to size. Now she's still the smallest of the flock, but she's normal size for her breed.
Yup, she usually looses all her feathers around her rear end.... not a pleasent sight, and must be awful cold to her, LOL!
