It is official, I have 4 of the 6 silkie pullets laying. Both solid blacks and both partridges. I had fears they would pull the stunt their momma did and wait until almost a year old to lay the first egg.

I leave Coco in the chickens room for five minutes, and brought a can of corn out for the other chooks. When I returned, I found Coco watching my iPhone. I did tell her that I would put on a movie for her to watch, but I didn’t expect her to take me seriously.
She’s so smart and funny.

Wish I had a camera to capture that moment. It would be classic!

Sometimes you have to show them who is the boss! Mr Wyandottey shows me that every day!

Well, I went to find her and she was up in the coop. She said “palindrome? I don’t give
a froggy fart about that, now go and leave me alone!”

She’s a redhead. They’re known for their bouts of hostility.

Sweet family

They are from the other side of the family.

Rural King, I have a bone to pick with you.

My brother's friend was finally able to meet him with his trailer and picked up the dog kennel I purchased to turn into the silkie coop. I went with a 10 x 10 that is 6 foot high, perfect for 9 silkies plus Turkey. I looked on their website for product descriptions, clearly states kennel clamps included. It came with no clamps. So I called the store and talked to customer service. They are out of all kennel clamps and have no clue when they will get any in. If I wanted I could return the kennel. They told me to contact the manufacturer since it says the clamps are included on their website. I did, out of the office until Monday.

Tomorrow heading to Lowes first and then Tractor Supply next as a last resort to hopefully find kennel clamps. I need this up now while I have help not whenever Rural King decides to finally get some in stock.

Pretty snake! Did they get it or were they scared of it?

I rescued the snake
