Well this is the BEST PIECE OF CROW EVER!!!!



And I just ran down and stuck 2 more chicks with Popcorn... She didn't even notice!!! and one walked out from her wing to the food ..... Here is a pix I snapped....



She was always a scaredy cat bird and I knew she'd find her calling as a mama !!!!! SOOOOO CUTE!!! I want to give her all the chicks :0

Here are some pix of the girls. Mama and her two speckled sussex and an americana (sp). Mama is a RIR, one year old, this is her second brood.
And here is her first family, they are SUPPOSED to be Buff Orpingtons...but I have my doubts.

here are the six week old barred rocks that I had to raise, and everyone comes to heckle...They are in no hurry to brave the great outdoor pen.
And here are the other one year olds.

Kinky Freebird was having a bad hair day and did not want her picture taken.

xs2! I don't care how beneficial they are - I don't like touching them. We had a tiny green garden snake slithering up a crape myrtle tree near where I was mowing and it freaked me out. I thought it might offer me some fruit or something! HAHA!
