It's a Chicken Thing: A Bit of a Scare
http://itsachickenthing.blogspot.com/2009/09/bit-of-scare.html
Friday, September 4, 2009. A Bit of a Scare. Today I went out at about 4:30 to feed some scraps to the chickens, and I saw one of the little Silkie chicks floating in the big duck pond! Several hours later it's all fluffed back up and was pretty freaked out of being inside the 'big house'! I think the little fuzzball is going to be fine! That must have been pretty scary. Good thing the baby is all right! Saturday, September 5, 2009 at 12:02:00 AM EDT. Wednesday, October 7, 2009 at 12:17:00 PM EDT. Mille ...

It's a Chicken Thing: December 2009
http://itsachickenthing.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
Sunday, December 6, 2009. Yesterday morning, the coop awoke to quite a strange sight- everything had turned white! The ground (and everything else) was covered with about two inches of snow. That's just about as much as we ever get at one time down here. When I first let the chickens out, they were very cautious of the fluffy cold stuff, but there were several brave birds who pecked around after a while. But of course, by the afternoon nearly all of the snow had melted, save for a few shadowy places.

Saturday, January 31, 2009. I got my wish- one of our Silkies is setting! She currently has about 16 eggs from all our different hens. It will be interesting to see what turns out! As of now, we're at about day 4. I'll keep posting! Here are some pics:. Wednesday, January 21, 2009. We got our first snow of the year on Monday, January 20! Where I live, snow is as rare as a. well, I can't think of anything that it's as rare as, but it's rare! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Rhode Island Red- 4. Red Sex Link- 3.

It's a Chicken Thing: November 2009
http://itsachickenthing.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Saturday, November 7, 2009. The breed that I've wanted for a LONG time is: a Mille Fleur Belgian Bearden D'uccle. But I didn't get one. I got two. We went to the state fair, and these are what I picked out to take home. I paid $10 for one pullet and $5 for the other. After I brought them home, I was beginning to think that one was a rooster. until she laid an egg! Here's a little slideshow of the two. Cluck, cluck, quack! Here are some pictures from around the yard. Cynthia the Silver Laced Wyandotte.

It's a Chicken Thing: September 2008
http://itsachickenthing.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
Wednesday, September 17, 2008. So, when we went to the fair one day last week, we got two new chickens. They are a pair of white bantam Cochins. Their names are Sergeui (Sirgay) and Queen Henrietta Maria (Henrietta for short). I took them into the backyard and took some pictures of the little featherballs. I love them! Okay, here are some pictures. King of the Roost. Look what I found! Tuesday, September 9, 2008. Chickens, Ducks, and Kittens- Oh My! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Rhode Island Red- 4.

It's a Chicken Thing: March 2009
http://itsachickenthing.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
Monday, March 23, 2009. It's finally happened: I went out to the garage today to check on Momma Fluff, and found a little, still-wet Silkie chick underneath her! We were about to give up hope for the eggs, and I'm thinking about naming the little baby 'Hope'. Here are some pics of the adorable. Here are some other pics of chicken from around the yard. I took them with our new camera, a Nikon D90, a very nice camera. Wednesday, March 11, 2009. The other two are Ameracauna and a brown egg. Here is a descri...

It's a Chicken Thing: April 2009
http://itsachickenthing.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
Tuesday, April 21, 2009. I am sad to report that we've had two losses: the white Cochin hen, Queen Elizabeth (Lizzie), died a couple weeks ago of natural causes. Also, my sweet little white Cochin bantam hen, Queen Henrietta Maria, was (probably) killed by a dog. But, I do have some good news: about a week after the first chick hatched, we found another! I think that it is Lizzie's baby; a white Cochin/Ameracauna and white Rock mix. The next day, we found yet another baby! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).
