they put the word out for people to send their videos of chicken carvings 
I personally loved it. That is some of the same hawk behavior I see here.WOW that is one awesome Roo! I think Marty would attack before Mr P though. I am just amazed that little hawk would try to grab that large hen though! Did you see that Roo stomp on that hawk?!
Your chickens have some very fancy bowls. Lucky fowls they are.It's another beautiful day here, with 25° and clear blue skies... and no rain forecast for the next two weeks.
I loved seeing the pictures and videos of the new chicks. At that age, they are definitely cuter than human babies!
Molting : I don't have many seasons to compare. The first fall they were here, our six ex-batts didn't molt, and the next year we had one hard molt after Vanille had been very ill at the end of September, and Nougat molted in December but it barely showed, though she was acting very off for a month.
This year we have a crazy molt. It started with Cannelle at the end of August, then Chipie and Théo, and also the four younger chickens who had just got on their adult feathers. It's far from over and Cannelle has the worse of it. They began loosing head feathers, then tail feathers, then wings, and now the body and neck. My other ex-batts are also molting, but not as badly.
I can't wait for it to be over. Like it happened with Maggie I hate not knowing if they are acting off because of the molt or if there is something else.
Thirsty pictures:
I didn't manage to catch it on camera but Gastounet spills water every where when he drinks.

Totally out of subject private anecdote : 15 to 20 years ago, Canada was all the rave in France. Everybody wanted to visit Quebec and move to Montreal. The hype extended to french Canadian folk music, to the point that a french group, les souliers rouges, actually made a huge success copying the reel style and even the accent ! My 26 years old brother at the time was sharing a flat with four girls in Grenoble, a mountain town, and I was spending all my week ends and holidays with them. They were playing and singing this song from dawn to night and it turned my brother totally crazy (he's more the Radiohead /PJ Harvey type
I must say the hype died down when grouchy french people realized it was very difficult to get work and life was expensive.
Out of subject tax : Gastounet and Merle two months old.
