Well in Chicken it is probably pronounced BOKBOK

I do know, that she’s a prolific laying little hen!

Oh well then... I love it

I pronounce it "exit". Just saying.

Does this count as mugshot Monday worthy?

When Chickens Attack!

They love pecking and pulling my hair

The water cooler gossip is out of control here.

You peeps, stop picking on my chickens

Her breed is Speckled Sussex

The posture she is doing in the photo is her getting ready to jump off of the picnic table. I will take an update on the table today.

I don’t have any good ones of Belle at 12 weeks to compare.
Roughly 8 weeks

A Celebration of Hattie. (The Chick Days)

Hattie turned 3 on July 17.

I wanted to really celebrate her this year. She is a treasured
member of the tribe. The real rock for everyone to rely upon. The big girl with the little voice and kindness for all (except that one time with Aurora). She spends her days on sentinel duty watching out for all.

What follows is a series of photos charting our three years together.

This first series covers her time as a chick.

Apart from their banana mine are only getting layers mash and dandelions until I can try to work out what's best for amber .

I'm not sure you saw my earlier reply about Peggy's broken liver and the various supplements that have enabled her to thrive?

 

[MaryJanet]

Okay, today I’m cutting back on the treats for the chickens. No steak today. And Emily won’t be getting her morning hotdog but they have a grapevine to ravage (and they do) !
They will have watermelon, ears of corn , and meally worms. Probably some pasta later today, (because I’m making it for lunch) I put fresh feed out for them and a bowl of safflower seeds mixed with black oil sunflower seeds.
(A can of fancy albacore might be too much today)

Alex, your flock are healthy so you don't need to change anything.

In my case, Peggy's liver was fractured and bleeding (hepatic lipidosis). That's why I cut her treats.
