Charge!!

Almost got a second face bite!

I fed the moms in the goose house. I was backing out with Muta and Pairin hissing and snapping at me when I slid in that hole. I learned it's deeper than my ankle, and I flailed and fell to my hands and knees. As I was going down, Muta lunged at me, and got slapped hard by the feed bucket I was flailing with.

The next outdoor improvement is gravel around all the coops. My I'm getting too old and fat for my wrists to take a bunch of those falls.

We've had one more hatch since this video and there's another egg currently pipping ❤️

Meet "Mom's Redhead." He's a mix of Easter Egger and Silkie. We're really excited to see what he'll look like when he's fully feathered. He's already got the start of that pretty beard and silkie textured feathers popping out of his down.

So far he's really easy to handle and calm. If he turns out to be a little handsome gentleman to the pullets in his age group like his daddy is (Opie is THE best rooster when it comes to watching and feeding his ladies) we'll aim to hatch more of this combo when the second coop is done and we can more control breeding.

Why is his name Mom's Redhead? Because my mom said she MIGHT want him, which mu husband had turned into "he's moving to Oklahoma when you're coop is done." Along with any other crosses she might want from our flock. David is very enthusiastic about breeding and seeing what we we can produce.

David picked out two zombies Halloween weekend. They've always been a bucket list bird for him. Same Ayam Cemani daddy but the first one's mom is a Leghorn and the second is a White Bresse.

They're definitely starting to get their creep on, especially the Leghorn.

Our pretty girl June synced her hatching with the incubator, so we've got babies all over this morning!

If you haven't given your chickens a pumpkin, do it! They were in heaven.

Happy Halloween everyone! 🎃

The flock couldn't get enough of the pumpkin. Hooray for treats! #...

Maomao is trying to join the Canadians we keep seeing overhead.

That is the face of a serial killer.

Cobra chickens are just puppies when it comes to a hose.

Maomao plays just like a puppy when it comes to the hose. She'd fight the spray all day if I would leave it on. Meimei is more of a fan of water aerobics. Of...

Apparently Pairin truly trusts me. We have those orb weaver looking spiders everywhere once the sun sets, so I did my nightly mapping of their locations before getting the flock in their houses.

Pairin was the last to go in, snuggled up in my arms. I forgot one of the spiders and got a face full of web. I SCREAMED and jumped in circles as I aggressively wiped at myself and Pairin with my free hand. Her only response was to slightly lift her head and dramatically sigh 😅
