I bet Barbara is looking for a suitable place from which to survey her kingdom and all who adore her. She is preparing for her assumption of the throne. . .

Wouldn't doubt that! LOL.

I'd love to see a picture of them!

Their Daddy, Leroy has really been deflated, too. He hangs out with 2 other "outcasts", Marion (who is recovering from her too enthusiastic ex-Lover, Bob, Leroy (still has no feet feathers to mention and the rest of him looks like a bad blonde bleach job) and "Bobby", Bob and Marion's son who is so sweet and laid back that even the Wyandotte boys pick on him. The three of them hang out with Poor Little Frizzy who is still trying to hatch a golf ball. They are a sorry looking group.

I do not know how I would handle more than 1 rooster, as long as we keep Tyson in check we will just doing how we are doing, seems to be working. If he gets too aggressive, I may have to make other plans, but as of right now he is okay. I will get you some photos of Tyson and all of his girls. They are in good moods today as they have got to be free ranging almost all day today. They have hit all the "hot spots": Defoliated the kalirahbi, they have broke down and dusted near the iris, hung out under the willow, over to the BBQ area that has small pebbles/rocks, hung out under the Japenese Maple. The only bummer in today is that me (the person) has turned on the sprinkler on the tomatoes and bell peppers so they can't go and take all the ripe fruit. Oh, well, every day can't be perfect.

Just a quick note to Barbara's friends out there: There has been a major computer crash at the Chickendads, and all emails prior to yesterday have been lost! If it is the drive, I am in deep chicken poop. My hair is standing directly on end! I have birds to ship on Monday, so if you are Deb F. and reading this, please email me w/ phone #. I am using Chickendad's antique computer, and the hamster on his wheel is getting tired.

Gotta get that computer fixed, so we can get our Barbara "fix"!!

September with Barbara

Barbara was so happy to see sunshine yesterday. A few weeks ago, it was too hot and she stayed in the coop on the roost holding her wings out to cool off. Then it rained. And rained. Back in the coop for Barbara and the Chickie Girls. Every time they stuck their heads out the pop door, the rain gave them “bed head” and they spent a lot of time preening their hairdos back in order.

Then it got cold. Barbara didn’t mind the cold quite so much, but the other girls wanted to stay inside and inspect the nail heads in the walls in case they might be bugs. Barbara went outside and practiced looking pathetic so that Mrs. Chickendad would bring treats. It worked. Scratch came raining from the sky.

Barbara is suspicious of Bob, her new husband. At first the four Sussex Girls took most of his time. Barbara thought there must be something wrong with them because they were covered in spots, and they kept disappearing. Pretty soon there were only two Sussex Girls in the main flock. Barbara did not know where they went, so she kept an eye squinted on Bob.

Meanwhile, a lot of the Little Chickens had gone to live elsewhere. Some of the Little Cochin Girls went all the way to Massachusetts to live in a Poultry Palace. They were now enjoying the sattelite TV, hot tub, and catered meals. They were delayed a day in their trip, but arrived safely with grapes to spare in the shipping boxes. There were a lot of worried phone calls back and forth trying to find out where the Little Cochin Girls actually were. The Little Girls had taken advantage of the dark, quiet boxes to sleep during their trip and were glad for real food and water at their new home. That airplane food is awful.

Mrs. Chickendad’s computer went fffffftttttt!! the other day. It is the logic board and they want nearly the price of a new computer to fix it. Chickendad found a similar one on Craigslist for a LOT less, so Mrs. Chickendad is back online, but without Barbara’s pictures which are on the other hard drive. When the cables arrive she will be able to illustrate Barbara’s adventures again.
