It was bound to happen eventually. I now have my very first rooster. He’s just a six week old teenager at this point, but his prepubescent practice crows are coming out like someone is pinching him on his bum bum. It’s god damn adorable. Please welcome Uncle Iroh to the flock!

I sadly lost my funniest/quirkiest chicken the other day, Ziggy Stardust. There was no predator attack or illness, she was fine one moment and then just dropped dead the next. A natural and instantaneous death is the best you can hope for a chicken, but I’m still going to really miss her. She was a consummate escape artist and I was constantly finding her inside stealing the cat’s food every opportunity she got. Rest in peace Ziggy. You were an original.

This is Jujubee. For a Barred Rock, she’s on the smallish side but she’s got sass. 💃

Yesterday, while I was at work, Jujubee was attacked by a hawk. I know this because my landmates messaged me and said they heard a terrible noise. When they went to investigate, a hawk flew up from the brush, but they didn’t see anything else.

When I got home, there were actually three chickens missing. Eventually two of them emerged from the brush unscathed, but still no Jujubee. I was absolutely crestfallen. There was no indication of her anywhere. There’s usually at least a pile of feathers left behind. There was nothing. 🪶

When it came to bedtime for the other chickens, I started to hear peeping and a rustling, and lo and behold Jujubee emerged!! She clearly had been attacked. There were wounds on her face and patches of feathers missing, but she was alive.

Jujubee is officially the only chicken I’ve had to survive a predator attack. Much like the real life Jujubee, this chicken will come back again and again and again. All hail the queen without a crown 👑 🐓
