Little Loosey Goosey just had me laughing until it hurt. My neighbor and Rosie's best friend Maddy has 7 little dogs inside. 6 chihuahua's and 1 tiny maybe 2lb if soaking wet chi x terrier mix. The little mix lulu is a escape artist and when she gets out poor Maddy has to chase her all over the neighborhood. I'm doing the dishes watching chicken tv out my kitchen window, everyone, including the boys were out there. I see Lulu sneaking around the back yard and then she starts mingling with the chickens. Now I have absolutely zero fear of this dog attacking the chickens, she has never bothered them at all. Goose spots her and stops eating. She then starts stalking her from behind getting closer. Lulu notices her and starts to walk away and Goose full on attacked her. I saw her chase Lulu out of sight with the poor pup shrieking. A few minutes later Maddy came knocking on my door. Goose chased her up onto her porch. The escape artist who never wants to be caught was begging to be let in. When they opened the door Goose was still in hot pursuit and chased her inside. Maddy had a very proud and squawking Goose in her arms. It is official the rest of my hens had better watch out, this tiny spitfire is going places when she is older.

I want chicks in the spring. I hope some go broody!

You will likely have a good chance of that!

Hopefully your gals won’t be as naughty as Rebecca’s though!

I have mice. I miss my cat I think I need a new one. The neighborhood cats arent doing their jobs!

yes you need a new moggy!

I'm beginning to think this is payback for all those months of calling her a "broken" silkie. Chiquita it is winter, can I please have my broken girl back.

Hahahaha

I had Marty here months before she decided to be a broody silkie! The lady I got her from said she was always broody!

Same with Chiquita. She turned 3 this spring. I was told that before I got her she had already been broody 10 times. I get her in January and she waits until July to go broody.

I didn't manage to get drinking pictures today, so here are two from sunday and monday of Blanche who escaped the hawk.
She's a bit of a mess still from the attack and I think the stress got her molting, if that's possible.
She's a brave little thing- she didn't hesitate to go outside and under the laurel tree where the hawk got to her. On the second picture you can see some of the pecks on her eyes and ears. I'm a bit worried that she still seems in pain even though they were very superficial and have healed well, I hope there wasn't internal damage.

She's the craziest smallest of our ex-batt, and she has already made it through quite a few issues, I would be very happy if she heals up.
My partner finds it ironic that this hawk that will eat chicken's brain, got our one hen that doesn't have a brain !

That was such a lucky escape! Such a pretty girl. I sure hope she is still ok and just has the scratches.
