Peekin' Chicken

Susie comes and knocks (pecks) on the door! Drives my corgi crazy and she'll growl and shake since she's afraid of the chickens. She comes up to the door looking for a handout and, when the opportunity is there, comes inside to peck little crumbs off the kitchen floor.

Then everyone tries to come inside too.

Sulky Suzie

Suzie looks better than when I took these photos in December, but she was looking pretty bad for a while. Still no eggs. Ku'u Ipo is pulling the weight for all of them at the moment.

Time Change Tail Loss

Because of the time change I only see my chickens when I take them out in the morning and put them to bed in the evening. I finally remembered to take my camera with me so I can show you what my girl looks like without her tail!

She has been molting for a while and her tail is gone!

At least the silkies are laying again. Nobody was laying eggs for quite a while.

The chickens don't like wind ruffling their feathers. It was very strong today! And while I was taking this shot Susie and Bea were running away to find shelter.

They come back for food though!



And I promptly came inside for tea. Notice ginger man and the chicken egg-cups.

Halloween Present

I brought home some extra pumpkins from work and the chickens were feeling festive...
Here's some pictures of them, I tried to get one of them to peck the pumpkin but nobody fessed up.




And of course I carved a jack-o-lantern this year. Mom did too :)
The berries Bea is eating in the photo above dyed this yarn! It's such a great color!
And since I'm here I'll put up photos from the Mill-In (open house) we had last Saturday.

Halloweens Past...


This was my costume last year. One of the best I've had in a while. :)

Lovin' Leftovers

I call it chicken rugby


 They steal it from each other, run with it and eat as much as they can before it gets stolen back.
