I was checking on my first time Broody and her babies and you can see from the quick zoom in that I was a little concerned! She was just sunbathing but jeeze they start the scare tactics young!

Oi boy! Little monkey! Likely a boy

Well I already have one crowing at only 2 weeks old so I definitely have my hands full! Trying to get that on video, too.

Yep it looks like he murdered her!

Clyde the Brave
Last Autumn he was attacked by a hawk and fought it off! I heard all this ruckus and looked down the barn alleyway to see all the chickens running inside and Clyde rolling around on the ground with a hawk!

I was yelling ‘Run Clyde! Run!’ As I ran down the alleyway tripping over and dodging around chickens. By the time I got outside the hawk and Clyde were eyeballing each other beak to beak - when I screamed for Clyde , the hawk saw me and flew off - clyde ran into the barn as I ran around looking for his sister - who was fine. Everyone was fine. Clyde was fine, though he spent a long time snuggled in my arms after. He’s my wee brave little man.

He’s a frizzle silkie (frizzle silkie feathers), and such a sweetie pie.

Yup, definitely looks like a Sasquatch!
He’s a cutie!

At least I don’t think so!!

There's my sasquatch boy! I'm inclined to give Clyde supervised parole.
