A really good read - thank you for doing that.

Thank you, I'm glad you liked it.

It's now 8 pm and all the chickens have tucked themselves into bed. Every one had a bit of free range time.

I believe the 2 chickens Anna had given to her are actually Pheonixes instead of OEGB. Phoenix's tail feathers just keep growing and growing! Plus Violet has impressive feathers herself.

Ned and Lucky were unsure how to get out for free ranging, so I had to pull up the fence.

Ned is very much like Stanley was as a youngster, very friendly and FOOD oriented!! Rich and I are enjoying a campfire tonight and ordered a Stromboli from the local pizza shop. Well Ned decided it was to good to past up and he stole a big piece right from Rich's plate! I didn't get a picture of it, but I did take this one later...

Tonight's sunset!

kiaa has posted more pictures of Iranian chickens. Given how little known these breeds are and how much kiaa knows about them I would have expected a rather more enthusiastic response.
I don't want to dwell on why this doesn't happen.

Some great pictures of chickens out foraging in the snow at -15C or about 5F in foreign money.

I had a look at his post - thanks for highlighting it for us.

I can say to everyone, those Phoenix chickens are spectacular and they are super friendly. Once Violet was perched on CCCLs hand she would not get off and anyone could pet her. So small, so beautiful, and so friendly.

I just want to make clear that around here Ned never stole food from anyone except another chicken.

So much to love about this post. Starting with Ned's orange legs - I had forgotten how bright they are!
I thought a Phoenix was a mythical bird. If you have Phoenixes (is that the plural of Phoenix?!) that is seriously cool! I am assuming it is a kind of chicken, which is also seriously cool.

I think that was because of the Aunties taking the food instead! I love how focused he is on Rich's plate!

I'm not going to say that couldn't be true. None the less, he did not steal from humans here.

Live trap if you don't want to kill them. Otherwise they are now permanent residents.

Just hope that they aren't pregnant so that you don't end up with more permanent residents!

I've never heard of the Phoenix breed of chicken. They are gorgeous! Now I know what to add to my flock in a couple of years.

That's because Ned is actually a dog in a chicken suit!

Crazy chooklady, wow, I see one of your hens laid a yellow tennis ball. Wonder how much it would sell for Okay, I guess it's way past my bedtime, I'm going nuts.
