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!

Marans hen and chicks
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.

Silver Spangled Hamburg chick

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!

I showed up for Wednesday, I didn't say I'd participate.
OMG!
Some days I don't know whether I'm coming or going.
"Good morning?" Just pass the coffee and I'll pretend this conversation never happened.
Coffee ready yet?
got coffee?
Which way to the picnic?
I am SO ready for the weekend.
Thanks for visiting and have a great week!

We would love either one of these. Both would be helpful and wonderful to have. Good luck to all.

I am a first-timer at the whole chicken thing. It was kind of a spur of the moment decision to get them but we have loved them from day one. We have 4 Rhode Island Reds their names are Flufumz, Happy, and Pooh and 1 Ameraucana named Reese. We are in the midst of building their permanent home and would not be as far on it as we are without your page. We have learned so much, from what to feed them to predator-proofing the coop. Thank You So Much and continue educating us non educated ones out here :)

My chicks keep knocking their water over and soaking their brooder. This would be great!
