Pshhh. I don't need to feed three bottomless pits. And I don't need to worry about them getting run over in the road because the property isn't fenced.

Suit yourself

I should probably add that I have lost ZERO birds (free ranging) since having the bottomless pits, but I won't.

You really are making a wise decision by not having them though, they need a proper fence.

These look more like Chocolate Silver Laced. Is that correct?

Nope, no Chocolate. I think the girls desperately need a molt. They should carry recessive white if they came from my birds, but they've never hatched any.

The two broody Seramas hatched their chicks out over the weekend. They are super adorable. I'll have to try and get some pictures of them later today.

Are they as cute as this???
Our silkie witch greeted many trick or treaters yesterday.

Last weekend our serama dressed as a bat for a school's Halloween Fun Run

Oh my goodness how cute! I didn't do any fun fall shoots this year. I guess I could do some when the babies hatch. Have you ever seen Lipstick and Chickens on social media?

She has the cutest photo shoots.

Has anyone else seen this? It's odd that only one bird from each flock has it.

I went and took a pic of the poor plucked pullet.

My past theory was that this guy wants all the chickens to have bald heads and necks - just like him.

I have an Isabel Leghorn like that. Turns out it was a polish doing it

My blue rooster looks like that currently. It's awful. I haven't caught anyone plucking him though.

How strange. I don't think I've ever had a Polish pluck. I didn't even know they could see to pluck.

Why are we sad, sir? Not a fan of tiny chickens that get dressed up and sleep in bed with her? Or sad I didn't dress up the bowling balls? lol

yeahh..... I accidentally trained 2 of my polish girls to be aggressive like that. Didn't scold them when they pecked at legs and hands in curiosity and now they bite the worst out of most my birds. Males included. One will even do that rooster jump and kick and peck if you startle her. The Isabel is just too calm natured (around birds, not people) to really care
