Unseasonably warm today, took advantage of the weather to clean my fountain. Let all the feathered friends out to play!

Love those on the grass!


Aimee's two D'Anver chicks are pretty much decidedly male. Just look at them. Don't you love the attitude on 3 week old cockerels? I love those teensy bull chests.

Two little cuties!

I wanted them to be pullets for you, Lisa. If they had been, they were yours.

Can, I have porcelain eggs in the bator now.

I guess that meant "Cyn", right, LOL? Maybe Lisa can get a pullet from you when you have a couple extra to sell, Karen.

Yes, I'm desperate for D'Anver pullets! Any and all colors accepted.

Cyn, not sure if you have had any luck in getting Maura healed up, but I read an interesting article in Backyard Poultry about how an ingrown feather could cause infection and create a huge cyst like that. Didn't know if she might be doing any spring molting or not, but it made me think of her when I read it. Poor girl!

If it's a feather, I can't find the source. And I'm leery of actually cutting it open. On a tiny bird like that, it's a big percentage of her body size. I've seen ingrown feathers on other birds, but nothing like this. They are all molting right now, seems like, in that coop.

My porcelain pair is molting. Or at least the roo is. Poor thing is missing his tail.
