Very cool photo!

It was a magic moment and for a change I had my phone in my pocket

Ok ladies now let’s get in formation! Every morning the divas line up on the tomato trellis and stare in at me in the kitchen, cooking their eggs. View attachment 3604660

Congrats on POW!

Not an entry because it's portrait instead of landscape.

But I thought people might enjoy this photo of Janet on the threshold.

It's wonderful these 2 fine ladies are so much better. Very sorry for your losses, that's always hard.

Thank you so very much!

I did not realize the pic had to be landscape… will this one do? Here is another from today… these two are inseparable

Everyone's flock dynamics are different. For myself we are limited to 5 hens/no roos so if there's a bully in the bunch she's outta here!

I'm pretty old now after a dozen years of backyarding and I'm slowly shifting to all-one breed -- Bearded 2-lb Sikies (no Frizzles, no Showgirls, no Satins) just the plain ol' regular Silkies. Their eggs are the same size as our 5-lb Dominique - small-med.

I love the personality of my Doms but in old age I'm shifting to the smaller Silkies -- easier to pickup and hold, sweet dispositions, even a potential Silkie bully in the bunch can't do harm cuz Silkies are skittish and move fast out of harm's way. They are calm to hold, easier to tame, and most are easy to break out of broodiness. I've had only one determined broody out of 5 but she just took an extra few days to lock out of the nestbox.

I have two more DNA-sexed Silkie chicks on order. Here are our current 3-yr-old Silkies and our 6-yr old Dominique. Hard to get a picture of all 3 of them in one area -- they are constantly moving!

They are adorable ! We live in the agriculture area of Plant City Florida. So really no limit on what we can have. I have 19 hens of various breeds, two polish, 5 Brahma's so far my favorite . No roosters!

Lol they look like they are about to go at it. Sweet the grey one looks like my Silva which is an Olive Egger.

 

[Antiocheggers]

Silva and Olive all ways together
