Some pictures I took yesterday-PIC HEAVY

Penelope is a sweetheart, she has never had a problem with her beak. We thought at the very least that we would have to take her to the vet because her beak was getting a little too long, but a few days later we noticed that the tip had broken off itself

She is a fighter, I know that is why she survived. She was never underweight, never had trouble eating. She will beat up her sisters if they try to steal her food

She refuses to be called disabled

I do still spoil her though. I will hand feed her earthworms and crickets because she takes to long to pick them up off the ground and the big girls get to them before she can. She doesn't beat them up, they are pretty mean to the young girls

I was so excited, the day I took the pictures, she sort of half squatted for me! So she will be laying soon! She is a Maran, so hopefully her eggs will be pretty dark

Get one of those pet toenail thingys Pedipal or whatever they are called and trim her beak that way, It is not as stressful on them and YOU CAN DO IT yourself!

Same. I have it set on "continuos shutter" so as long as I'm holding down the button, it's clicking away... I love my camera.

oh my gosh, your chickens are SO CUTE! Your Violet looks like our Fatima's twin!

She does! Where did you get her? Violet came from MPC. There is a woman on here that has a Wellsummer that looks just like Pesca and it turns out her's came from MPC too. I was trying to figure out exactly what she was because for the longest time her pattern hadn't developed. This woman said the same thing, but she was the sweetest out of the group. It's exactly the same with Pesca, so we figure they might be sisters

Fatima's from MPC too! Perhaps they're sisters.

Probably

We also have Tinkerbell who looks just like Violet except the orange is more muted. She also has a crooked spine

I was wondering why she wasn't get longer and her tail was crooked. I finally set her on the table and felt under all her feathers. It feels like a small bump, so I hope it is just crooked not a tumor

She is just as fiesty as the rest of them, she never acts sick, so I hope everything will be fine

Great pictures!
But where is one of the turken?

 

[rebecca10782]

Oh he is, but everyone hates him because he looks mean

He is the sweetest thing, he wants to give everyone kisses but people think he coming over to bite their leg off

Oh! I didn't get any pictures of Josephine that day

We have 16 chickens, so it's hard to get pictures of all of them in one day. But her are some old one's of her

here are some baby pictures of her
