Sorry im never here. (Im not on BYC all that much anymore either.) Its because i have a bunch going on. The major stuff (not all) being 5 days of the week, waking up at 6:00, then 7:30 to around 2:00 im at cows (I volunteer and show them) Then i have chickens, prepping the winter coop. Dance 3 days out of the week, etc.

Anyway, i just wanted to pop in and see how everyone is doing.

Good to see you again. ☺

No, it’s just that we all have many of them, and many are getting older. It’s a game of odds

How are yours doing?

Most of them from the original bunch are all dead- except the bantys and two of their "children" that are now laying. Our OG chicken is somehow, someway, still alive and dodging death. I think we are down 12? 13? lives now. I wonder how many are left.
I got some more, I think I already shared a few photos.

On a lighter note
This coming month Tina has been free from the battery cage for 14 months.

It's lovely knowing she's had a nice life here..
Princess is back too claiming her food again, so Tina must be feeling better.
I thought Princess was ill because she was giving Tina most of her food but she was looking after her. Plus she has given Tina her place in the coop and guards her every night. She has become mama princess

What did they die of?

Various causes- some much more sad than others. The worst one was when it spiked to 115 after a few cool days, and they cooked in the box before they were let out.

The dog got better from Parvo, so that is good news- she looked like she wasn't going to make it.

As of today Twiggy has officially hit the "Idiot" stage. Hormones have hit, he thinks he's hot stuff and any hen had better watch her back. Holly has taken great pleasure in stalking and thrashing him after he tried to jump her. A growl from either Bubba or Branch stops him in his tracks thankfully and they have not had to whip him yet. He keeps it up and he will get one though. Here are a few pictures of him this evening. Look at him, they way he's holding himself. In his little pea-brain he's all that.
