The Sullivan Six

[AinaWGSD]

Artemis seems to have made friends with the wyandotte. This evening when I was playing with the chicks this evening the wyandotte went over to hang out with her. I suspect these two will be at the bottom of the pecking order.

Everybody needs at least one good friend!

I know, right! I'm happy they are getting along, there are so many stories about odd man out chickens getting bullied in mixed flocks. I was starting to worry a little for Artemis. She wasn't getting picked on or anything, but she also didnt seem to have a buddy.

 

[AinaWGSD]

Ma'am, what are we doing? She lay like this for several minutes.

Apparently it's lay like a weirdo hours

The wyandotte's shoulder feathers are coming in and I thought,finally! She's clearly a black laced red!

But then again, that seems like an awful lot of grey in the wing feathers. So, maybe? She's a really dark blue after all? Guess we'll wait a little longer and see.

Limu has a paler spot on the top of her head. Up to now I've assumed it was a headspot that indicated barring. But now I'm thinking she's going to be blue and that lighter spot was blue down.

Whoops! Last night while spending time with the chicks I accidentally made a predator alarm call. Someone stepped on my fingers with poopy feet and when I whined "whyyyy" everyone bolted for cover! Artemis and Bibu dove under the feeder and everyone else raced to the far end of the brooder. Poor Paprika hunkered down behind the grass for quite a while before I could convince her it was ok.

 

[AinaWGSD]

Took the girls outside for the first time today. They had a blast chasing cicadas!

 

[Callender Girl]

Hurray for the great outdoors!

I know cicadas are harmless. I know that. But, I still hate them! Glad your girls like them; they haven't reached here yet.
