The chicks I hatched from P. Allen Smith‘s flock are getting big- almost too big for their adopted mom to accommodate underneath her, but they are blissfully unaware of it and she remains very patient with them. She and her little ones feature prominently in this week’s Flock Focus Friday- they’re just too photogenic to resist!

Roosting practice began in earnest this week! I don’t know what the little Dorking on the left did, but ellen deHeneres is giving her the Mommy Stink Eye if I’ve ever seen it.

Despite being less than half their size, this Silver Spangled Hamburg chick holds her own with the two slightly older P. Allen Smith grandchicks that ellen deHeneres rejected. All three of them were moved from my office to the big coop this week!

Meeting at the community watering hole.

Thanks for visiting and have a great week!

Question ? Why are my young Batams so mean they peck and bite and fluff their feathers like dogs furl their necks and backs I call them the Evil Twins could they be young mean Roosters? I know that all roosters are not mean.

My chicks are scheduled to arrive tomorrow, if the USPS tracking page is correct! I have my brooder box all set up, ready to go. The kids are so excited (and I admit, I am too)!

I like the idea of plants around the coops. Makes it look like home :)
