Say "Nevermore".

I miss that show.

Me too. Need to track it down for the boys.

Sunday Morning with the Chicks

Awe, so cute! I am so happy that they are thriving under your care. It will be wonderful to observe their lives from afar!

You could try makeup wipes, or eyelid cleaning pads. Get a Sphynx cat! I also have an interesting fact, that male cats, and black cats, have or shed more of that chemical that people are allergic to.

Doesn't matter for me. They stay outside...except when trying to get mice out of the house, then deep clean after. Castor just climbs the windows trying to get back out. we can even sit with the door open and he won't cross the threshold. live traps for the indoor mice. Castor loooooves his mobile squeaky toys. Thorough wash up after handling him, shower and clothes straight into the laundry if cuddling. Otherwise breathing is a problem.

This summer's the first for major mouse incursions...wonder if they're like BY Bob's squirrels. Chickens started moulting in July....we could use the winter: drought/ fires

Nellie and Cuckoo

..... they are definitely chatty!
The size difference is quite striking - but they both seem active and healthy so hopefully Sylvie will catch up (did I get them the right way round?).

You did get them right and they chat constantly. Even under the heat plate you can hear them chatting.

They are adorable.

Do you have a chicky playpen so you can take them outside with you in the sun occasionally?

This is what I did with Alice and Edwina.

Yes I have one. I have not assembled it yet. I want a few more feathers on them first.

I did actually get snow shoes and perhaps predictably as soon as they arrived the snow melted. There is always this winter!

I want a much milder winter this year. Let's wish the snow away.

That last definitely requires a tax.

View attachment 2823265This is Twirp. Not positive what she is. Best guess: Legbar, but she hasn't popped a crest yet (neither have the sapphires). Probably have to wait for eggs. She looked like a classic chipmunk baby but with willow green legs.

Beautiful.

Well can you

You did get them right and they chat constantly. Even under the heat plate you can hear them chatting.

just imagine? There is so much to catch up on in their little lives!

There is a mutiny happening in the house. My mom and brother dared to utter these words "The new chickens are prettier then the Marans." Those are fighting words lol. My dad is on my side and likes the Marans better, especially the boys. Apparently though its the new girls round fluffy shape that mom and my brother likes. It's good to know, because in a few years when I add a Brahma or two I shall remind them they like that shape of a chicken.
