Diary & Notes ~ Air Cell Detatched SHIPPED Chicken Eggs for incubation and hatching

[Sally Sunshine]

I nearly stepped on this little guy yesterday. I gave him a 10 second head start to find a hiding spot before I let the chickens out. Not sure if he made it.

NO I hate snakes yuk I pray they at that thing!

Quote: interesting! I have seem mine eat mice, toads, frogs, but never anything bigger. I wish they would get them chipmunks that keep chewing our truck wires!

White CCL Rooster ~ He is AMAZING I could look at him all day, not a spot of dirt on his young feathers! Cant wait to see him grown in a few months! He is already taking care of the older girls, his girls have time to grow yet for that! One of his girls was on the other side of the fence today, I haven't tamed them too much and she was a booger to try and catch!

Thanks Chicks.

The normal CCL roo keeps away from me and I couldn't get a pic! I will try again tomorrow! and of the girls. I have a RIR that looks extremely silly without feathers I need to try for a pic of too!

Mine all have pin feathers coming out of everywhere. 1 girl is still bald and nothing is growing back. She is still laying an egg a day though. Strange bird.

Crazy day today.
I was in the coop, having a perfectly normal conversation with the girls (yes, I talk to my chickens... Don't we all?). And I looked over my shoulder, and the Maran roo was missing! O.O A few seconds later, I hear a chicken screaming in the yard, so I ran outside and there was a huge Falcon trying to grab the roo! I was pretty freaked out, it was so big. In a split second, he grabbed Boo (Maran roo) and flew off! Poor Boo was struggling to get free, and started pecking and grabbing at the falcon's leg. Thankfully, about 100 feet away, the falcon dropped Boo, he landed safely and strutted away, ruffling his feathers. After a few minutes, he strutted back to the coop to finish breakfast with the girls.
So glad he's okay. He's a big roo, but he's a scaredy-cat. He's by no means aggressive. We all love Boo, he's such a cutie.

Yes, I got very lucky. It was so sad, that split second when the falcon grabbed him. But thank the Lord, he's okay.
