Is she one of those speckled suspects?

How old do you thing those older ones are? A week?

Probably a week, maybe 10 days for the most feathered at the oldest. That one is just starting to get lift, but not real height yet, so 10 days would be the most, as by 2 weeks they are usually flying to the top of the bin. This one not quite that agile yet, flight wise....give him/her another day or two, though, and watch out!!!

I used to have a green chicken but she has been replaced by a blue one. Is that the new model? An upgrade? She isn’t saying!

Women are always allowed to change their outfits, you know! I think both the blue one AND the green one are quite becoming on her. Will she try the Royal Violet outfit next?????

I talk to the ones here, cat and chickens and human alike. I speak English, my native language, and they speak chicken, cat and English respectively. Hopefully we understand each other most of the time but I’m still learning chicken so they have a lot of explaining to do sometimes. The chickens are pretty much always talking. They seem to be narrating whatever’s going on and I do my best to follow it. Immersion learning is the best kind!
Our cat talks to us, he’s the most talkative cat we’ve ever had the pleasure of knowing, though nothing like Siamese cats; he’s fairly straight-forward and right to the point. Cat I know pretty well. Big Boy already knew English when we got him.

I had an Arabian horse who was a bit challenging- she didn’t seem to understand “whoa” and other simple commands like walk on, trot, etc.

One day my friends were visiting and Afaf was getting worked up, she wouldn’t stop (whoa) or “stand”.

My friends husband walked up to her and started talking to her in Arabic to stop - ‘bas, bas, bas’… and whatever else he was saying.

The horse settled down - how astonished was I? Well not really - see the mare was imported from Egypt, and I guess she only learnt Arabic commands hahahahaha! I never really thought about it before that so Anywhoo my friend Earl gave me a list of commands to use with her and after that things were better.

(My friends lived in Cairo for 4 yrs and had horses over there - I visited before Earl retired and saw their horses and the pyramids)

Edit - this was my view ever day from my friends terrace My first morning I was so eager to get some photos but my friend told me to relax - they aren’t going anywhere they’ve been there 4000 yrs

Oh yes there is no keeping them in at 10 days ha!

They look like they are all doing ok.

I noticed today that my babies are not babies anymore they are now little ladies.

This photo is of a really cool hyprid of the California Valley Quail and the Bobwhite! If I can find a bobwhite in my area I will definitely be trying to create this hyprid.

Wow that’s very pretty!
