Now he has nothing to say.... go figure!

Here this is what I want to get, I think a hen might give Phyllis a run for her money in the Glam department :

They have a lot of style but that's not glam. This is glam.

Perfectly coiffed. Not a feather out of place.

More tax. Just because.
Anyone else think Eli is looking up for a branch to fly to? That tree is at least 80’ tall.

YES! Or a tasty morsel of bug to grab off the bark.

I figured out that if I do not bring out the camera Chiquita is good with me being around the chicks. Not sure I will do it today seeing as how it is only 30 degree but yesterday I was out with them for a hour. Before it was all said and done I had Chiquita digging to china dust bathing and the peeps on my lap watching their crazy mother. 3 of them finally joined her to see what she was doing and the other 3 fell asleep on me.

How wonderful!

Ask Aurora.

Dear Aurora,
Let me introduce myself. I am the most beautiful, most angry, and most proud little rooster in the world.
My name is Théo and I live in France in the mountains.
Here is my problem. I have four hens who should honour and worship my beautiful self. Unfortunately, I happen to be half bantam. Can you believe that those french humans have the cheeks to call us bantams "dwarves", by the way ? Anyway, my hens are bigger than me and since I live on a very steep slope, I never manage to mount and mate them properly. Because I need to maintain some balance, I must grab their feathers as I would fall otherwise, and this displease them so much that they run away from their duty to my gorgeous self.
Would you have any advice on dealing with this shameful problem ? I trust your discretion not to mention this to any of your beak book friends.
Cocorico from your beautiful Théo.

I took this video 3 days ago and just uploaded it. I need to get some new ones as they are growing. @Ponypoor Chiquita told me to tell you to let Marty see this. She will be broody in 2 days she claims.

Wonderful little leghorn fluff balls. Makes my heart all warm inside.

Like last time Chiquita is not wanting to leave the coop with them just yet. I think when Goose was a baby she was not ready to venture out of the coop with her babies until they were about 8 or 9 days old. I wish all my hens were that way. Instead the rest of my girls insist they have them smack in the middle of the horse stalls as soon as they leave the nest. Well, no I take that back, Raven is different, she takes a section of the back yard near the hay pile that she dares anyone to cross into. I'm happy she is not wanting to leave the coop, Temps dropped and there is snow on the ground. In the coop it is a good 10 degree's warmer and there is no wind to chill the chicks. They have met Branch and he loves them. If he spots me walking in the direction of the coop he is now right behind me ready to go visit.

Good old Branch. Super daddy!
