Silkie thread!

[howfunkyisurchicken]

I just love watching my girls lay their eggs, especially my Tina. She purrs and does the broody food call while she's laying When she's finished, she'll pick up a bunch of shavings (one at a time) and put them on her back and cluck, cluck, cluck her little heart out. Cutest. Darn. Thing. EVER!

Gotta love it that way too

We have a theme going on in our smooth sizzles. They are named after McDonalds hamburgers. So far we only have two smooth girls, and they are named McChicken and McDouble. Mainly because they look like one of our first chickens we had named McDonalds. So they are named in her memory.

what about...Barbie... Barbie Que!

Got to love all these creative names.

A hawk killed two of my silkies. I caught him with one of my hens the day before yesterday. But thought the rutkess i made would keep him away and yesterday he got my rooster. I could kick myself have been free ranging since summer in the day and lock everyone away in the evenings without incident but now gonna have to build a chicken run and in the meantime keep them on lock down. Plus gonna have to clean up the mess the hawk made. She was the best layer,and he was my only silkie rooster.

I'm sorry to hear this

This time of year the hawks are really hungry. If you free ranged in summer, you should still be able to do so, but once the hawks start to migrate, I would keep them in a run.

So SOrry! I should be more careful myself.. We see hawks in the sky all summer. I'm sure they are getting hungry here too.
