Shadrach's Ex Battery and Rescued chickens thread.

[Ladies-Eight]

Ex Batts good morning one and all!

Temperature is in the 80s and very hot.

Have a great day!

 

[Shadrach]

Sounds like a wonderful opportunity.

We all like being close to family including chickens.

I could lose a couple.

On the topic of secondary characteristics, this is Miss Pinkie, crowing her heart out. Her henopause has been interesting!

She stopped laying at 3 years old (this winter) and grew out a glorious comb and wattles. She's been crowing 2-3 times at dawn in the coop for a few months. In the past few weeks, she's crowed a few times in the afternoon, so I finally got a video.

She makes rooster sounds but no treading or herding at this point. She tidbits backwards: eats a treat then loudly tidbits a twig or pebble where the treat used to be. The hens ignore it, and rooster Stilton currently seems unbothered. He still herds and occasionally treads her.

From Pinkie's salad days, as a pullet in the nesting box.

Her beautiful pink egg up top (Brahmas down the left, other Langshan eggs down the right). Funny aside that Pinkie's name came from her beak color as a chick, but then her eggs turned out to be pink.

She's got a stunning crow and the comb to go with it. Maybe post it on one of those I'm not happy with my gender threads and mention reincarnation as a chicken might be the answer.

Monday typo day?
Couldn’t figure out “leccy for the tunes thought”

But nowadays you can live “of the grid” as long as you have acces to drinking water nearby.
There are solutions for internet (phone, tv) and electricity (in summer).
Solar panels, a battery, 5g internet, in vitro filter for waste water/regain water for shower, …
What else do you need? …
A permit.

Leccy=electricity. Tunes=my stereo.

I was wondering too...I thought Leggings? Nah, that doesn't make sense.

Wow, so awesome. She is just singing this to the Roo...

A wry grin crosses my face when I read people writing that chickens are prey animals.

Leccy=electricity. Tunes=my stereo.

Thanks for making me improving my (unofficial) English.

And: What does it mean to give a wry grin?
bitterly or disdainfully ironic or amusing: a wry remark. produced by a distortion or lopsidedness of the facial features: a wry grin.

Chichat tax with chicks. The pile Dutch and a Vorwetk on a part of an old terrace table in the second run.

Wow, so awesome. She is just singing this to the Roo...

Funny that they both start singing in UK English at “sweeter” at the end .

Sweet and higher tax main run):

Her beautiful pink egg

other Langshan eggs

I read that Langshan can lay plum coloured eggs, so I guess she is of that ilk of Langshan. Love the video of her crowing!

She's always been a striking chicken with dramatic coloring, but the new comb-and-wattle style she's wearing is very becoming.

Hahaha, brilliant.

You can see the others looking over at her after Stilton crows, like, Pinkie, what'ya got?
