Hello! If you haven’t noticed, in Illinois, Mother Nature hasn’t seemed to have her head on straight! This past Monday, it was Snowing! And there was a good inch or two on the ground. But finally, today it was in the 70’s and it was AMAZING!! I spent some time wandering around the yard, documenting what I could! Here’s a few pictures and stories I got! Enjoy! (Caption of picture above the picture!!)
Edit:Wow. I just noticed there are a LOT of typos here
Pretty birds had a nice 20 minute field trip! After being in a pen in a garage all winter, they were very happy!
My brown reds were happy as well! They had more time, as I was taking for pictures of random things while they were out! (I don’t know WHY I thought August would be kind and let me easily catch him...)
My birchens were much happier! They flew around, and dusted in the grass! The one hen to the left had gone broody, but left her nest a week before hatch day
she still seemed broody though, and has that broody sound too. She seemed less broody after this, although she kept calling to the other chickens like a broody mama. Hope she comes out of it!
then there’s Devil Chicken!(His wattles aren’t to be removed, we’re reselling him, and don’t want him bloody and scabbed when we got to sale, so he even looks evil!) You cant even water this chicken without him attacking you!! He glares at you too...
My Moderns are being weened off heatlamps! First night without, hopefully they can be moved outside soon!!
She REALLY likes dog food!
These chicks just got kicked out of the chick house! (The final brooder of 5 brooders they move through) and they don’t seem to know what to do! I had to round up 3 of them last night becuase they found roosts outsid eof the coop!
August’s favorite game! Ring around the Propane Tank! His catch phrase “Catch if you can, stupid human!”
Then there’s Toad, begging for some attention!
Pete’s mad that I yelled at him. He was stalking my chickens...
Donald doesn’t like Pete, and was very aware of when he ran across the yard!
Finally, my sweet healer brothers, Dusty (blue) and Walter (red)! A rare show of affection between the two who are always arguing!
