I was going to finish reminiscing about past chickens before I posted my 3 all time favorite pictures but been busy today. I also just got challenged by my brother to a game of Phase 20. Last weekend when we all played, the game lasted over 4 hours. Anyway, here are my 3 favorite pictures.

Toothless. I love this picture of him, it is still my screen saver on my computer.

Drumstick. This sweetheart of a rooster never took a bad photo. Rest in Peace sweet boy.

My favorite chicken is a rooster. Pippi was a single hatch out of 13 eggs that I had shipped. The eggs didn't get here in very good shape. However, I wanted a Buff Orpington rooster so I was happy to see this little guy hatch. Here he is after the hard work of getting out of that shell.

And here he is today.

Ok, the house and barn go up for sale, and we move all the horses out. It takes about a month but we also are successfully able to move the chickens from the barn to our house. I now have a tribe of 4. Yes that is right, those 2 boys, I still have them.

@Bob
My sincere apologies for not adding photographs. I've been hard on everything today mainly flexi but 17 hours almost 18 and I'm done in

Nothing to worry about Marie. You take care of your baby there.

Nothing broken, lots of scrapes and bruises though. The driver fled the scene but was being followed by a family member who knew/suspected he was drunk and was following to make sure nothing happened. He stopped and had his kid in the car, who was traumatised by what happened and because the driver wasn’t breathalysed at the time of the collision, the police couldn’t pin drink-driving on him.

That's all. I'm so sorry that happen.

Ok I’m going to try this again… I see we are all taking our own approach to the celebration photos, and we all know how great I am at taking direction sometimes so, between this and my internet issues and that most my chicken photos are on my old phone.

And a few more for good measure as he’s so darn gorgeous and wonderful.View attachment 3182778
(At least I’m pretty sure this is his baby pic)

And with one feather going rogue in the wind… lol ruining his perfect “majestic” pose (I swear he likes to pose for the camera!)View attachment 3182787

It's Sammy! Great photos! I love seeing him!

More 100,000 celebration photos. Tippie the chicken that brought me back to BYC after an unpleasant first forum experience. This photo is special to me because it is after about a month of Rehab, and the before photos were awful. This is when I started rescuing and rehabilitating hens with health issuesView attachment 3182789
Which of course also means I need to mention Hoppy, who was near and dear to both Sammy and I, one of my first truly free range chickens, a spunky hen and expert spider snatcher (I’d lift her up if there was a bitey spider strung across a walkway for extra spicy treats) also a solid month of rehab getting her able to walk again. View attachment 3182819
These might not be the “best” pictures, but they are some of my favorites because of what they represent in my chicken tending experiences

And Hoppy too!

It's hard to tell, but it surely could be. It is rough when they won't come out. That behavior is much like mine after an attack.

Today they ventured to the other side of the yard and hung out under the lilac bush for a while. That's quite an accomplishment after the last few days of voluntary lockdown. They still want one of us "big people" with them before they will come out, though.
