It was so nice out today that I took a few pictures of the animals. I didn't get many of the chickens because so many of them are in molt and look terrible! Hope y'all enjoy!
This is Oscar, he is a Welsh cross. I have to keep his tail docked, otherwise it becomes so matted he can't swing it. No amount of grooming prevents this..his hair is just that coarse.
This is my Jersey, Honey. We are hoping she is bred. We put her with a nice, young bull in August. We haven't seen any signs of heat since.
Does she look settled to you?
I found this Sid Taylor game chicken in a dog crate on my front porch a few days ago. I'm sure I know where it came from. This person has left many of his chickens on my porch before. He leaves the ones that he feels aren't good enough to breed, but doesn't want to butcher them. I took the last bunch of them to the auction, but won't again. I ran into a man who bought that batch a week, or two later and he told me how well the rooster had done at a cock fight the night before. I guess this one will just hang around my pastures
I'm keeping the dog crate.
One of several barn cats. We've taken in a few cats that have nowhere else to go and spay the females. We have four now! It seems like I trip over a cat every time I go outside.
Excuse the fuzziness, but quail won't be still!
Another barn cat.
This is what happens when your wheaten Easter Egger hen falls madly in love with your BLRW rooster. She disappeard from the laying hen yard one day and we thought a coyote had gotten her. The next thing we know she shows up with a batch of eight chicks. There is no rooster in the laying hen yard. Somehow she was finding her way back and forth from the laying hen yard to the pen with the pair of BLRW. She was laying eggs in a shed out back when noone was looking. The chicks are beautiful..bright red and dark blue. I'm keeping the little hens, but butchering the little roos.
Barred Rocks
Turkeys
A few of my girls
A few of my remaining flowers
He hears something strange
A few of the pigs
These chickens aren't molting
A sure sign Winter is near
