I'm going to have to make her a snowrooster, aren't I?

How else do you expect to get snow chicks????

Just wanted to share a couple pictures I took today. One of my little OE/EE girls wasn't looking so good when I went out earlier, looked really cold and not active so I came in and made her a little fleece-lined coat to keep her warm. She's dragging her wing a little too but hopefully it's just because she's cold and not feeling good, not something worse.

Anyway, the coat fit her pretty perfectly and she's getting around just fine in it

You could out-cross. You know, with something warm blooded so the eggs won't come out frozen?

Maybe with that nice looking barred cockerel when he gets old enough (assuming the hen hasn't melted by then).



I think I better EE brag a little so the thread doesn't get locked for going off track

Andromeda started with an XL on 11/25, Persephone started on 12/12. There are only 5 days that I did not get at least one EE egg and 4 of those days were before Persephone started to lay. 61 eggs in 51 days and Persephone wasn't laying the first 17 days. They both laid the last 4 days.

I love that chicken jacket!!! I have thought that I need to make a chicken turtle neck top for my EE...all the attention she's getting from the roo is giving her a bald spot on the neck (back and sides, areas covered by chicken saddles, are fine). I haven't even gotten an egg from her in a couple of weeks so all his attentions are for naught. LOL

That is an amazing feat for your birds. All of mine but two have quit for two months. They are not in molt as far as I can tell. Could they sense that a 500mile relocation is on the schedule. In NH where it is colder and darker they are laying ! Well I am happy for you. But sad for me.

Would you call it a Snooster?

Oh now that's good. I'm going to do it this weekend! My Snowhen is already melted and eaten (even the nails that were the eyes, what's up with that?!)

The girls got some free-range time a couple days ago, and I got a few nice shots of my Easter-Eggers while they were out.


Merlin--I think this is now the best picture I have of her. She never lets me take good pictures of her!

Mako under the pine tree. I love her eye color!

Wynne, who was poking around one of the gardens from last year. She got this really pretty slight lacing on her feathers in her last molt.

Betty (and Natalie the barred rock) eating some of the greens that popped up while they could. Betty's head is turning gray in her molt! (Her neck isn't that white, either. I think the camera flashed and it washed out the color in the picture.)

That first picture is great! Perfect shot
