Seems the little velocirators are learning how to hunt!

And seems those wee dinasours have their fancy feathers coming in.

Kids and baby animals - they are the best.

How many times do we see out chooks glaring at us? We should make note of this!

Mama Hen seems to be weaning her wee ones, but still snuggles them at night.

A duck wing on a chick? what is that?

And photo of said duck wing - looks like Angel Wings.

Grandma The Chicken
-------------------------
Grandma has passed away just shy of her 10th hatch day.
https://www.backyardchickens.com/th...es-stories-of-our-flock.1286630/post-28571354

This was such bittersweet news as GtC also has a couple new babies. Hopefully the new babies will help to ease the passing of the lovely matriarch.

Meanwhile the other chooks are doing well and even laying eggs in unusual locations.

The new coop is coming along well, and a link to a discussion on bedding types.

Such a lovely flock, and the beautiful Felicitas is no exception.

Broody Agathea and Felicitas.
https://www.backyardchickens.com/th...es-stories-of-our-flock.1286630/post-28569971

Felicitas was not feeling well the other day. Poor wee lady.
https://www.backyardchickens.com/th...es-stories-of-our-flock.1286630/post-28572160

Felicitas seems much better a couple days later.

RebeccaBoyd

The halfway point for the incubator eggs has been reached! Seems Rebecca feels she needs more silkies - chicken math at its best!
https://www.backyardchickens.com/th...es-stories-of-our-flock.1286630/post-28564600

And her co-worker who has hatched some of her eggs gave an update on the hatch rate.
https://www.backyardchickens.com/th...es-stories-of-our-flock.1286630/post-28571899

Finally the treatment for the creepy crawlies has arrived, now to treat the flock.

Wee Turkey is very critical at times - but she is adorable I think.

The newest arrivals were seen having a cuddle puddle snooze.
https://www.backyardchickens.com/th...es-stories-of-our-flock.1286630/post-28564144

The older chicklets are really growing up fast.
https://www.backyardchickens.com/th...es-stories-of-our-flock.1286630/post-28564152

One of the newest arrivals is not doing well.
https://www.backyardchickens.com/th...es-stories-of-our-flock.1286630/post-28564961

The others are all growing fast and roosting together well.

An informative video on how to tell a roo from a hen.

It's always interesting to see how others have set up their coops and runs.
https://www.backyardchickens.com/th...es-stories-of-our-flock.1286630/post-28571701

Seems these silkies are pampered with a spa treatment.

And the lovely Bernadette, a truly lovely lady.
https://www.backyardchickens.com/th...es-stories-of-our-flock.1286630/post-28562816

It's nice to see the flock sunbathing, and lovely Pooh is too cute to have a glare.

The perfect Jungle Chicken habitat.

TX Chick Noob
----------------
It was so awesome to hear from TX, while sad to hear of some passing, it was also eggciting to hear of the newest arrivals.
https://www.backyardchickens.com/th...es-stories-of-our-flock.1286630/post-28570342

Chicken math!
https://www.backyardchickens.com/th...es-stories-of-our-flock.1286630/post-28570353

It's babies all around!
https://www.backyardchickens.com/th...es-stories-of-our-flock.1286630/post-28570385

And what is this one's colour? I bet whatever it is, it will be gorgeous when it's grown.

Hope everyone has a lovely weekend and I sure hope I didn't miss anyone!

Thanks so much.

Caturday

 

[SimpleJenn]

Forgot to post these last night

Cadet is getting so pretty

Periwinkle has a severe face like a hawk

Cadet and Periwinkle with one of the...I believe brown leghorn x marans behind.

Cemani keeps to the back but he's great at watching

Blue is MASSIVE compared to little grey Roadrunner.
Also the other one I believe is marans x brown leghorn in front. He's very slender

They all know the mealy worms bag.

She has more of a brown collar than a copper one

Navy with her brown eyebrows

Caught Slowpoke and he's looking good

Cadet and Navy

Blue and Delft.

Nosy Posy sneaking in the middle, and look how round Chocolate is getting!

I love the spots on Cadet.

Ethel still has a black comb and legs. I think she's some sort of fibro mix.

Slowpoke

This marans is getting quite bold. Eats out of my hand and will jump on my shoulder like Red does. Does not want pets or chest scritches though.

Cadet

One of the marans

Slowpoke is very handsome

Missed posting this fluffy red butt on Friday.

Mommy, I’m scared of that (whatever it was)
