Did someone come out and dump him?

We get people who try to dump dogs sometimes. A few cats have been dumped. They don't last long. My cats chase them off in the daytime but my furballs come in at night. I don't want them to be coyote chow.

We do not have dumps like that did have the one bird about 3 years ago walk up to the gate Richard thought it was one of ours walked to the coop like it was so he let it in been here since but lays a blue tint egg my eggs have gone to 1 a day here girls on the molt and Lord forbid I moved the nest boxes a foot

A good portion of my girls look like they are half ready for roasting.

My one chick is a month old and a will be bigger than the quail soon.

One of Raditz's kids. He was a mutant and twice the size of the others. He got to almost 5 pounds. Some of his children were twice the size as well.

Hmmm is he related to my girl ? she is 5 lbs not least bit fat just big girl but she is great with the other three they are a bonded group co brooding all the time now you do not want to mess with their peeps

 

[Hinotori]

Probably her father.

I love how silkies co-brood. They use tactics to protect chicks.
