I got 3 eggs today, all from the comets. That is definitely a cochin fluffy butt! I need to get some new pictures! Clarabelle' s babies are nearly as big as she is! Everyone is sleeping on the roosts so that is a good thing!

such a gloriously wide and fluffy fanny... I can easily imagine this one with lots of chicks... they'd be so cozy and warm tucked up in all that fluff... she needs a name. her face reminds me of the Chimpanzee, Zira, from Planet of the Apes...except with a beak of course... it's the low brow and small cheek feathers that does it... Zira might stick... we'll see.


4 Eggs again today, thought I was only going to get 3... but I just went out to help Sillie up on the roost, and did a last check. final egg is a tiny Marans Egg.

Oh my, she is sure a keeper! I laughed so hard I had tears when I saw that pic of Zira!
I was a kid and was so amazed by that movie and totally in love with charlton heston

1 quail and 5 pekin eggs, we laid 6 TODAY

the Cochins are finally all named! Zira is at the top, the blue is Delilah, the bearded is Josephine, and the Zelda is the beardless black at the bottom front. Delilah was sporting a slight cross beak... remember a while back, I posted a pic... I did nothing. it's gone. her beak is perfect. wonder if she tweaked it somehow and it healed...

Been doing more lurking than posting here! MC, sorry for your troubles. I know how lonely it gets. I am here alone too. I do have lots of animals to keep me company, but it is not the same as another human to talk to. Luckily you have lots of friends here to talk to!!

Cheeka, how is the house coming? Any lookers/tire kickers?? Loved the pictures of Mylee.

Love all the new babies! They grow so quickly! My little guys (the Forgotten Ones), are already in that fugly stage with the fluffy heads but the feathered bodies. They look so funny! Unfortunately for me, when they start getting feathers, I start getting impatient for eggs!

I am trying to figure out who has just started laying. Do BR's lay light brown/pink eggs?? They are 6 months old, but so is the Delaware and the Buckeye. The freeloaders, I mean 8 month olds (CL's and AM's) both lay blue, supposedly. But, on a good note, I am up to 3 and 4 eggs per day! The brown ones are finally a large to the XL weight, and the pink ones are just smalls for now. Woohoo! I can start saving them up instead of eating them myself!

Also, when does it click with the chickens that they live in different coop? I hand carry 9 chickens every night (for a month now) to the coop. The go into the run every morning with everyone else, but they don't go into the coop at night with everyone. They like their old pen or the stairs! Go figure!

Weather here now is why I moved here! Still in the 80's during the day, but no humidity and cooler, in the high 60's at night. Just lovely!

I have to say, I love seeing the creative places my chickens find to lay eggs.
