It is one of the all time great pictures that one - I am so glad they chose it.

Look at Mr. P all proud of himself. He should be, he looks great in that picture!

And finally, a mug in a duct tape boot. Russ has a abscess that has blown.

Poor old boy - but have to say abscesses in hooves are amazing they act like they are dying and then one they pop open they walk away like nothing happened!

I love that photo of Chiquita with her chicks - please submit to POW, it's so cute!

No one hopped up for a close up today but I did some cute pics.

Awwww such a cute wee ladd! I am sure he will gain his trust back. Such a charming photo!

I love how they gather around, when I’m sitting outside in my chair. View attachment 3423948

You are part of their flock - they trust you

POW !! Congratulations.

Thanks I was very surprised - so many wonderful photos! Some days I just cruise through all the photos looking at them.

Finally made it out to the coop today with my offering of left over salad. I see the neighbors had already offered them a bread course! Glad my offering was healthy. They'd left bread, but went right for the veggies, smart little birds.

Meanie was looking rather disheveled, with feathers out of place. But her muffs a so fluffy and she's getting a luxurious beard, not that I can ever get a good picture. View attachment 3423767
And since the only poser I have is Manny...here's his mugshots. Look to the left...View attachment 3423771
Look to the right!View attachment 3423772

He's being a GOOOOOOD boy! Picking out choice bits and calling the girls to come eat the lovely stuff he's found!

Eli laid in the middle of the run the other day because ‘there was no room in the nest boxes’.
I have 9 nest boxes. NINE! That is three each for goodness sake!

She's testing comfort/safety of assorted locations as she doesn't have a rooster to show her good/safe places to nest.

 

[bgmathteach]

Nope. She is in vacuum cleaner mode because I just tipped the dregs of one of the feeders onto a log and all the yummy bits need cleaning up.
Such a tidy little thing!

You know, @RoyalChick , despite all the lamenting and such. I have to say you do seem to be enjoying your happy little flock atm, even though you don't yet have a lap chicken.

I am truly happy for you!

I have an inside my jacket chicken rather than a lap chicken. She is nice and warm so she is very welcome to explore under my clothing on a cold day!

 

[Pastel the Rooster]

Awwww! that is so cute! You sure do have a lap chicken there in that case!


Was she trying to leap up on the window sill? She sure is a pretty hen isn't she? How many eggs a week is she laying now... ?


Awww - so sweet that they still listen to their mum - love it!


I wonder what had in such a tizzy? But sure am glad you're back safe and sound


In the mean time if anyone wants the 'rough draft' to get a feel for what's up you can PM me


That is wonderful, good for you. Let us know how it all went. I am sure you will be egg-cellent at this!

The school thing went okay. I was mistaken, there were only a few special ed classes that came out, and the rest were normal. I needed to send some children who were holding the chicks (my adviser decided to bring babies) incorrectly, like my the neck, foot, or wing, away. I sent them over to the rabbits to pet them, all while grabbing the chicks from them. One chick hurt its leg, as I don't have 9 or 10 eyes to watch them all, and after that I went on goat duty to let people pet the goats. The hurt chick is fine, we separated it, and it jumped out of the bin, so we put it back in with the others. After it got hurt though, it was a no hold only pet type if deal.
