I know! I had to run out and grab up Mark and Roger because these to idiot silkie rooster don't know how to go up, but can go down. So they just stand there in their pen complaining. I think this might be the fastest I have ever been able to get Mark. He usually makes me chase his butt around. Roger, he know's I am going to put him up in the coop. Tonight I was able to scoop them both up right at the same time. SO wierd. Maybe they didn't like that crazy wind. Heck I didn't either. Man that rain was cold... But did my other chickens get in the coop? Heck no. They were still wandering around the trees until it blew over... Crazy birds.


Did anyone do the voting for the calender? I got thru 16 pages and had to quit. HOWEVER, if you did do it, what did you think of those chickens in the swimming pool? They weren't just standing in a kiddy pool! They were IN A POOL! I didn't think chickens would do that. SO cool.

The rain and the wind came in fast this evening, but when it left we got a double rainbow over us and a pretty sunset at the same time.

I voted on the photos for the chicken calendar and really enjoyed the photos! I loved the chickens in the pool although I never would have thought that was possible!
There were many many GREAT photos of all kinds! I can't wait to see the calendar!

I figure its gonna be a challenge to narrow it down. I am so glad its not my job! But I am glad I voted. I loved the natural state chickens best. I liked the ones that people pose, but prefer the natural ones most.

I agree. A posed chicken calendar is a whole different thing. A backyard chicken calendar will have lots of chickens out doing what they do best!

When culling young chicks I use my kitchen shears to behead them - it is instant and for some reason makes me less squeamish than cervical disarticulation. Don't care much for drowning, seems inhumane to watch an animal struggle for life for up to 30 seconds

The D'Anvers did NOT want to go in despite the thunder crackers and lightning flashes. My DD was so worried about them but we had no success trying to herd them back into the run. Crazy birds don't want to coop up either they seem to want to roost in the run all night.
