How’s your flock doing?

He’s so big. My rooster is tiny bantam breed and he’s about 8-10 months

Hes supposed to be a bantam cochin..

How true is the bantam...idk he seems kinda small compared to some of my ladies...but idk if he's still growing

Last night crow, reaper, yeti and Kia decided to stuff themselves into one nesting box to sleep

They are readily available and free, which is the best part, lol. I use grass clippings and wood chips too (no pine trees on my property or I'd use those too) Thank you! The white ones are my 2 original ladies, Maribel, light brahma and Betty, WTB...

I'm going to use the Betty White name for my sweet leghorn! She was such a cool lady and my bird is my cuddler. Thanks. !

She was! I was watching her show “Betty whites off their rockers” while staying in a BNB, she’s so funny

I've been doing some CCSI (chicken crime scene identification) work lately to identify my soft shelled egg layer/eater! I captured the alleged perp the other day and locked in crate. No GOO in nest box that day! Well today the hen in question was in laying so I grabbed her off nest to see her egg, and Viola , a nice looking egg picked it up and it split open in my hand. I've done the calcium down the throat thing, no luck so off to freezer camp. So my investigation is done now. Yay the culprit has been found

Wow, she must’ve had some sort of genetic thing? Glad you found out who it was!

Sunny had just gone to prove that she is the smartest of my younger half of the flock

While all my other chickens are in nesting boxes (silkies) or roosting while it’s getting colder she was smart enough to realize sitting on the cement blocks with the lamp in it to heat the blocks is warmer then the roost

I guess Peppers cheek fluff is seasonal? She had bare cheeks and chin all spring and summer!

Yves still waiting for the girls (and Kia) every morning I plan to get him a friend soon, she’s pretty big but so pretty and sweet
