Wrath's Marans

[wrathsfarm]

Not much of an update really, been super busy trying to get the Marans coop expanded. Then my Brother showed up for a week to hang out and talk chickens... (He's not into chickens, but I am)
The second 12 week cockerel decided he is ready to start crowing now finally, so that's always fun hearing that.

The dominant one of 'the Hateful Eight' crew decided to get into it with Raven with her two little BBS nearby while free ranging. His biggest mistake was not paying attention to how close Kong was, so he got a quick tune up of the rules. I've since noticed he has an interesting perimeter he maintains now.

My mistake was not getting video...

For now, just pics of 2 of the 12 week old pullets who offered to help mow after the lawn is already mowed...typical teenagers

“The hateful eight” I am laughing out loud right now
Also, I feel like all I talk about is chickens these days and my family gets so annoyed with me

I'm a big fan of Quentin Tarantino's movies.

My family talks chickens whether they want to or not...
With my older brother and his wife whose in their 70's it was pure comedy gold trying to explaining Marans genetics and 3/4's of the way thru a week long discussion I hear..

"Wait, the hen doesn't need a rooster to lay eggs?!"

I have a feeling they weren’t actually listening to your lesson

Lol, yep, I'm not exactly outgoing but anyone who gets me talking typically hears about chickens

Would it be wrong if I said I had my own alternative motive by boring them with 'chicken talk' so much to get them to leave sooner?

Edited to add... It didn't work.

So, turns out they actually like chickens and just needed to learn about them? Next thing you know they'll be hatching eggs, building coops, and not have any time to come visit anymore.

You're interactions will be solely for eggs swaps

They would be dragging the coop behind their camper. How many campgrounds allow that?

I bet a silkie would make a great camper chicken!

As much as I should've seen that coming, I hilariously didn't and spit my coffee all over.
