Gee maybe someone could fashion a chicken like cover to slip over a heating pad - for an enhanced "broody mama" effect .

At 7 weeks her comb would definitely be redder and have three distinct rows of bumps.She has one line and it's pale. So I am willing to bet the farm that you have a girl. I hope Illia comes on and sees this. But I think her coloring is called duckwing.Those are great pictures for being able to see what needs to be seen!
Congrats on your pullet!

Ready for cuteness overload?

Brabanters are getting their crests! She has a small one

This is a Black Copper Marans / Allpenhaller Spitzhauben - a tiny little crest =) Looking like a boy if anyone wants to add some variety =)



Sleepy time

I think I heard snoring

This Brabanters has the largest crest - so cute!



This Allpenhaller Spitzhauben / Brabanters cross looks to be a boy. Let me know if you want to add this bundle of cuteness to your flock!


I could go on and on, but I'll be nice and stop there as I need to weed the garden! Badly! Hope everyone has a great holiday weekend

WOW!!! So everyone who says Flash is a girlie, well you have made my son's day! He has been a bunch of nerves.. And so have I.. lol

Today I took the kids on a drive, we went and drove the N. Cascades Hwy. I have never driven it before. It is AMAZING! Oh my heck! We just went as far as Newhalem from Omak, but WOW! The kids were in tanktops playing in 4 foot of snow. Ha Ha! it was great! We needed a nice relaxing drive like this! Then when we got home our newest fur baby arrived in the form of a rabbit. Ha ha!

We also took the kitten with us on the drive so i could keep her fed, she is eatting like a lil piggy now, and being a completly normal spazzy kitty with her Jazz Paws. Ha Ha Ha! Love that stage!!

I hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend!!

Ewwww - I just went out to the chicken coops to spy on the feeder in the banty run (dog kennel at the edge of the woods). I saw about a half dozen small rats and a big one run down the wooded hill and jump down into the banty run. All along, I thought the hens were making all those trails through the woods. It's rats! Or maybe it was a bunch of mice and a big rat, but I'm thinking mamma rat and a bunch of young rats.

Time to get batteries for my zappers and load them up again! yuck. I have not used them since the fall.
