OH and ya know what?? NO ONE HAS ASKED.....

WHERE WERE YOU WHEN THE MOUNTAIN BLEW???
What the heck peeps?? Did you forget what today is?? It's kinda like remembering WW2!!! Ok, just kidding! But, I can't help it, every year when I have to write that date, it just stays with me!!

I was just a freshman in high school, glued to the TV as my dad was working in clearing underbrush for the loggers and half his team went too very near St. helens and my dad went to montana, we saw several of the guys my dad worked with being airlifted....on the news in hopes of catching a glimpse of my dad and wondering if he was there. It was like it had snowed on everything but fine dust ash everywhere, the grass the cars etc. And how dark it was.

So tonight I believe the crazy hoarse sound I heard coming from my EEer "Martha" was her attempting to crow; I think a name change might be in order; Marty is quite a gentlemanly name and will suit him/her well if she is indeed a he

Also, as I stood in the doorway of the coop, one of my Buff Orpingtons looked like she was going to jump down to the floor from the high roost, or onto me. I held out my arm. She jumped. She flapped. She landed. Above my head on the top of the door!!

Crazy chicken. I got her down so she wouldn't hurt herself.

Thanks!! I've been dying to know for a long time. She's seriously HUGE compared to all our other same-age pullets but I know EEers are hard to sex. Here s/he is! 7 weeks old:

And I think she was 3-4 weeks old here:

The only thing that makes me nervous though is that if she is a cockeral, Lay-a is too

They seriously look identical except for size.

Oh no! I don't like hearing that! My little "Caunnie" looks a lot like yours. I'm not feeling so good about the chicken home-front right now, either, as one of my three is injured. Last thing I need right now is to learn that I have a roo on my hands. I can't keep roosters.
