And this one made me smile - and remember my panicked call when I first got the chicks, to my niece saying ‘my chicks are have some sort of fit!!!’ Ya silly Kelly they were dust bathing or that time they threw them selves down on the ground wings outstretched eye closed….. ya sun bathing. Chickens!

How does this even happen? Sir Jaffar goes to sleep with a crop the size of a golf ball. He’s only the size of a soccer ball himself, counting his feathers too. But in the morning, his crop is empty and all that feed is gone.
Must mean that my little guy is healthy enough I guess.

You peeps should stop tormenting your silky hens with those crazy decorations.

Installation of googly eyes, Christmas lights for silkies/frizzles . The world has gone crazy .
I’m hoping to see Mr.P with a clean head today. I can’t get that picture of the blood out of my head.

He’s eating well then!

I was looking to see if I had any of this small LED lights for those Christmas sweaters ‘hey Fluffy where are ya girl??’ Hahaha

Mr P’s feathers have dried up and I have decided that since he needs his feathers trimmed anyways to see, I would trim off all the dirty matted ones and clean up what’s left. I did manage to clean most of the blood off last night. But the staining will take a bit longer.

Once it dries and fades it will be rusty brown coloured.

She is looking stunning! So many speckles, do you think she has more than before her molt? We may need a side by side for science!

Your memories are amusing! But sorry not the video - they’ve lost FOUR chickens so far, and they are clueless that their chickens are living in terror. The hawk will be there and take one at a time until they’re gone. That yard offers zero protection, fishing line in such exposed places is worth zero against a determined and previously successful hawk. Her yell was their command to take cover and run for their lives. :sad

Well now that’s an idea! The fanciest chihuahua I know is Paris Hilton’s. I could name her Paris. More dignity than Nacho.

I can imagine the bites that chihuahua can deliver. Fancy bites.
(I also know how to pronounce Chihuahua. I live very close to Mexico).
