That is so sad to lose all those chickens.In one year, (a heartbreaking time) my chicken numbers, went from fifteen down to five.
In one year the social dynamics of group functions, ie church and civic groups, dwindled to practically nothing. Masks are a normal accessory now. (Even if some people, still won't believe or accept the necessity for them). "That was run on sentence, wasn't it"? Oh well, We all must make due, and persevere !
Yes. I thought they were supposed to be smallish chickens but they are huge. They still fly very well so I don’t think the flying is just a baby habit for them.
Looks yummy to me!
Absolutely beautiful! And the color difference it’s quite clear.
When I give away my eggs I always have to explain to 1st timers that the blue eggs are fine for eating & perfectly normal inside. Even my mother, who grew up on a farm, thought I was pranking her when she got her 1st blue eggs.
When I was growing up all eggs were white ~ though people seemed to think brown eggs were healthier. Our blue eggs, being smaller & denser, are heavier & richer than most of the bigger brown eggs.
Beautiful.
I was able to access the link about her life, but I couldn’t find the story of her passing. I was wondering what happened to her.
I understand. I lost all my 1st entire flock in a matter of weeks. They were rescues & past their use by date when I got them. They got some extra time with us & a much better quality of life but we went from 8~0 in a couple of weeks.
That is very sad. You must have been traumatized. I’d have bawled my eyes out.
