A Small Chickam Update...

Because some of the chicks were being little snots during picture time and refused to come out from under the bushes. I don't blame them, it got hot early this morning.

But anyway, here's pictures of the ones I could lure out with frozen watermelon. Ishkabibble is the red chick on the left, Sunshine the little blond on the right. The gray hen center back is Rainbow. Garnet is the big red girl in front.

One of last year's chicks, Sticky, is on the left, caught in mid-leap with one wing extended. That's because Apricot, barely visible next to her, had pecked her away from the watermelon. Mjolnir the buff Orpington roo, and Cheerio watching.

  

 

Ishkabibble lookin' tiny next to Nyx, our Midnight Majesty Marans. Mayhem, one of the Russian Orloffs, is behind Nyx. 

Another mixed group. In the back on the left are Lemon Zest, Supernova (black and white), Enzyme (gray) and Zigzag (red/black/white mottled). For the older hens, Blazikin is on the front left, Garibaldi (blond), Peanut and part of Apricot.

Sticky on the run, Lemon Zest behind her.

Eggroll, our blue laced red Wyandotte roo and his impressive dinosaur frills, with Supernova behind him.

 

 

Sunshine and Huntress having a dustbath. 

 

  

Enzyme, Sunshine, and Huntress. And Huntress' ORANGE legs.

 Nothing much can dislodge a chicken that is dustbathing, not even Mace Wingdu.

 

 

Rainbow the gray Orpington, Doughnut (I accidently typed that as 'Douchnut' and spent about 5 minutes laughing) the chocolate Orp. Don't ask me what Rainbow is doing with her legs.

It's pretty much a given that the best picture you get of your chickens will be in the most cluttered part of the yard. Zigzag's head far left, then Doughnut, Rainbow, and Mayhem.

Moose the Salmon Faverolle in the foreground, Yeti, Huntress, and Enzyme eating.

 

 

Criminy, they were really serious about it and refused to come up for air. 

All the chicks are doing well, the rooboys will be rehomed soon to GOOD homes.
