    Chicken tidbitting at owner

    Roosters I've only dealt with 4 roosters since 2023 when I brought home Sussex chicks. Joel was brooder raised, no adult hens. He was friendly with me except as a cockerel, but I don't recall anything besides a peck or so as his hormones raged. He became a good roo, took care of his gals...

    So far I lost Joel at 13 months (seizure) and I found Martha dead under the roost at 2. Hannah and Rahab will be 3 in February, they're my oldest. I don't know their average lifespan, but as they're not a production breed, should be longer.

    When I chose Speckled Sussex I was under the impression that they were quiet. Not mine: :gig

    I gave them looseleaf lettuce, darker green and more tender than head lettuce.

    I do. And I really enjoy them. Most of mine are very friendly, some are "chatty". I've had four roosters so far, and only one was a jerk. Zaccheus is a good roo, takes care of his gals. The SS get more white tips with each molt. Hannah, on the right, will be 3 in February. ETA: Video of the...

    Your 2025 Garden

    I'm still feeling bleh from a tooth extraction on Friday, but managed to water my seedlings yesterday. No rain in sight for this week, at least.

    Or lettuce? The OEGB pullets aren't laying yet, but appear to be integrating in Silas' flock anyway.

    Yes, thank you! I was having trouble envisioning it.

    Agreed. They give me joy. From about 1992, and my first flock. The green leg ring identifies her as "Clover".
