View attachment 3454884JUST 2 is HARD! Horus is very attentive, and Silver isn't all that appreciative. Neither is Jessica (who seems to prefer Hector)

Those are great 2fers!

I have noted a couple of my gals with what I would call “snotty nose” - clear watery discharge, but they are active eating and no coughing. I have heard a few sneezing when eating, I am putting it down to dust, molds and other evil things causing allergic symptoms.

Question: do you take temps of your chickens?

I do not although I do have a thermometer just for that purpose.

Caught ya red... footed.

What do you have to say for yourself?
"I got dust in my eye."

When my photo was selected for POW they also asked me to do a welcome member interview, here is the link.

I will need to google this I guess.

My birds are loud this morning. Gimme gimme gimme! Squawk! …. Cocorico!

Well, my sister's co-worker backed out on the chicks. I listed them about 8 last night and they left this morning. I thought about keeping 2 but cooler heads prevailed. I want silkies this year and I also have 2 broodies set. If I really want some silkies I could not keep these chicks as well.

The Amazing Phyllis
Phyllis was up on the wood pile looking for a new nesting location and Eowyn came over to see what was up. This required Phyllis to take a long flight path down, targeting her landing to be right between my legs. I caught it all in slow motion. Watch how graceful a flier Phyllis is.

I have said it before, she is the only chicken I have had that can fly straight up, hover, and much like a leghorn, she can gain altitude if she needs to mid flight.

Amazing video of the amazing Phyllis!

2fer Tuesday
2 Polish not worried about anyone else taking their snacks. Enjoying the run of the yard with no competition.
