New chickens alert!

1 each: coronation Sussex, French black copper moran, and 55 flowery (which is a wild name)

Will be named shortly. Will probably stick with our rough theme of r&b/soul singers, though there's been talk of adding jazz representation...

Adding three new young chickens to our crew this afternoon. Can't remember which types we picked out and my spouse is picking them up -- so it will be a surprise!

Here is the #chicken who just mysteriously disappeared yesterday.

No feathers anywhere around my house or yard; no idea what happened to her.

Just gone.

She was my first blue egg layer, and she would've been five years old today.

I haven't even had time today to mourn her because I've been doing so much stuff for other people. 😭😭😭

Rest easy, Miss Anne Bonny. I will miss you.

I just took this photo while tucking the youngsters in. Turns out that headlamps are almost as good as extractor hood lights. 🤭

Not much has changed from the last #chicken update, though the chickies are growing like mad. I hope they'll soon learn to head into the henhouse and claim a spot on the perches at night, as they've nearly outgrown the laying boxes (where I've been putting them every evening). 🫣

Quelqu'un s'y connais en poulettes malades ?
Une de mes rousses est patraque depuis samedi, un peu amorphe, trébuche en marchant, samedi elle a même comme vomit (un liquide brunâtre très fluide)
Je l'aie rentrée au poulailler et elle bougeais peu mais buvais mangeais et pondais. Aujourd'hui elle sors à nouveau et marche mieux mais elle est toujours comme crispée tête rentrée dans les épaules et elle a la crête très pâle.
Est-ce que je peux faire quoi que ce soit pour l'aider à se remettre en forme ?

New babies added to the backyard flock today. Two Easter eggers and a gold laced Wyandotte. I always stress over the possibility of igniting pecking order hostilities with new additions to the coop, but miraculously, all is peaceful tonight. #backyardchickens #chickensofmastodon
🐔 Chicken update! 🐔

A few random snaps of the whole gang. They're pecking, they're chasing each other, they're scratching, they're shitting everywhere (OMG, so much!), they're squawking away. The old ladies are laying, the young ladies are growing. All is as expected in CHICKS OF OUR LIVES. 🍿

Henna chilling in the sun for #FluffyButtWednesday 🤭

All #chickens are doing well, by the way! All six now sleep together in the henhouse with no bloodshed, yay. I still have to put the young ones inside at night, but they'll learn eventually. The younglings spend most of their time on top of the henhouse but bravely venture into the coop and run occasionally. Will post more photos soon!
