Brings it to Holly's attention that she is supposed to have a full copper hackle. This was taken yesterday to celebrate her 3rd hatchday.

She ponders it a second, would a full hackle go with her awesome fluffyness and house slippers.

Nope, sorry peasant, not interested, what you see is what you get. Now stare in wonder at the glory of my green sheen and count yourself lucky you are my slave.

Happy belated hatchday pretty girl. The rest of the flock did not know, but, you were brought inside to have the last little box of raisins all to yourself.

She is right she is beautiful just as she is Happy hatchday.

It’s not so much the kiss that trains the rooster, but more like you, proving your control over him ( gently but firmly ) he will get the message that you’re the boss of your tribe. He will submit, because Zeus is a good rooster.

No no, i mean’t liking EVERY post. From the very beginning.
That would be annoying because people would be getting notifications from years ago. I have lost motivation and decided against it, though!

I think there’s a way to adjust your notifications so up don’t see “likes” notifications, tags and quotes…

He is a good rooster and is so protective of his girls. I know he will be top notch in the end and I am willing to wait it out. I would love to give him a kiss like I have my other chickens but he just wont let me close yet. He is super fast for a rooster lol.

New Coop

Well it happened. I had to build a new coop to accommodate the new peeps that will be arriving for Easter. My granddaughter Eve and my daughter were here to help me with it this weekend.

There are just not enough for this post. It’s amazing how much she has grown!

Mine is the opposite. He’s a weenie of a rooster and runs at any site of danger. He’s great to humans but not so much to the ladies.
