He's back to the same old Cody this morning. Happily eating his cereal and watching Netflix. HAHA!

Here are my 4 favorite nonChicken peeps at the Air & Space Museum in Dulles, VA - Cody is the one crouching in the window.

Wow I bet that was scary! Glad he is okay!

Yeah! Pics please!

These are sorta bad pics. It's been raining and dark, so a bit blurry and messy. Here are the biological parents (Delaware + Cochin):



And the fuzzybutt:



I'll probably remove the leghorn eggs today-- day 26 for them so...

Our first time letting a broody hatch! So excited. If it's a roo, the chicky will be named Freddy! For fri. the 13th!!!! It's so precious! Nana (the barred rock broody) is so sweet too. She has not once got onto us about the chick or the eggs, but let another chicken come close and WATCH OUT!

Smokey has been taking up to 2 hours to sit in the nest box and lay her eggs each day. I'm wondering if she's just trying to get back in the hang of things - or if she's trying to go broody. The black AM baby, whom some people think may be a pullet (YEAH) now named "Ebony" must have been getting lonely. She climbed into the nest box to hang out too. She started out in her own nest box and moved over to join momma Smokey.

My WL hatched late - I'd leave them at least one more day - or candle and see if there's any activity first.
