The Evolution of Atlas: A Breeding (and Chat) Thread

Ah, but it's not the size that matters with chickens! All my adult hens are scared to death of my Belgian D'Anvers, both the tiny hens and roosters. That little Aimee is a pistol! She loves to bully those big girls.
 
I found another silkie with fly strike. I think there's a sore. I soaked and washed his butt and cut away the feathers. Then I sprinkled him with Sevin and wait til tomorrow to see how things look with the area cleared up. While I was checking the butt of my black silkie roo, he had his beak latched on to my arm! Ouch!

Sounds like my porcelain D'Anver rooster, Aubrey. At over 8 years old, he still thinks I'm the enemy. As I always say, dumb as a box of rocks.
 
I have a crowing hen this morning. My 9 yr old Black Rock, Emily, was crowing her heart out and doing a good job of it, too. I've never seen/heard her to that until this morning. I was out there much earlier than normal. She did it three times. Good crow, too, but sounded like I had a teenage cockerel in the barn again.
Today, Brandy is on day 7 of her incubation and we are having a major heat wave, much worse than I remember here, today through Wednesday. Tomorrow, I have to take Tom to the hospital to get his shots and Wednesday, I have to go myself an hour south to my own doctor. She didn't need to see me for a year so it's been since last August for me.
