Silkie thread!

[Hinotori]

So I have a cull silkie rooster that is the flock rooster for my large fowl. The hens like to play hairdresser with him. Look what they did to his crest (and beard).

At least he likes it. He can see and do his job better.

Lmao!!! That's awesome!! He looks surprised!

He was surprised I was quicker than him with the net.

Want to see my normally friendly chickens scatter? Pull out a trout net. They know I'm after someone

That's great! I just call mine and all of them come running so I luckily don't need a net.

That's so funny. Cause every time I grab the net off the hook mine all go running. It's my way of getting them all in for bed at night if they don't go in on their own

I have a white pvc pole that I use for chicken herding. They can see it well and know it just means go in their pen.

Mine come when I call chicky chicky. I just always said it when putting out food and now they come running.

Finally got to hatch some chicks 6 hatched and more chirping coming from eggs in bator, 4th times the charm, I guess. LoL

Chick, chick, chick is for the large fowl here. Silkie, silkie, silkie is for well the others. They will come running for a treat but I cannot get them back into their pen without actually putting down scratch.

Their pens open to a central courtyard that has a gate. This helps a lot with escape attempts. I take turns letting each pen out there anyway.

Chicks are a week old today. They are doing well. Ended up hatching 9. They are feisty and messy. I had cleaned the brooder half hour before taking these pictures.
