fuzzi's Chicken Journal

A chicken with its head cut off?!?!?

Oh, wait. It's Rahab. She's working on some preening.

We had a visitor while I was sitting with the chicks...

"Did you invite this, this...thing?"

She was just poking at Naomi.

The cat is one of a couple strays that I have been feeding. Once I get an appointment at the spay clinic I will set the trap.

Oh, and I got an egg!

Cute kitties!

Yay! An egg!

Went to Aldi's this morning, picked up a bag of grapes on sale.

I neglected to cut the grapes in pieces, so when I dumped them and some leftover pot roast bits on the flock dish the chickens appeared confused. I pulled out my pocket knife and started cutting up the grapes, but not before one of my boys grabbed a whole grape and ran with it... guess he didn't want anyone to snitch it!

No eggs since December 1...

Overcast, rainy day, expecting strong storms later so I headed to the coop after dinner (lunch).

The pear cores were accepted, but Martha and at least one of the Dominiques came up to me, making query noises. I snapped off several collards leaves, which the chick(en)s eagerly ripped to shreds and stuffed down their maws!

Spoiled!

They do love collards!
When I give mine collards you quickly hear the crunch crunch of them munching.

And collards are so good for them, too!

Spoiled!

Eyup.

They got another scolding this evening...still zero eggs.

Days will start getting longer soon. That should help with the egg situation.
