Whoah that's quite a bit..lol

Yep. Chickens are my hobby though, like how other people enjoy camping or traveling.

Kinda. Bantams are too small to be worth processing for meat usually, and my big birds get tough before they get big enough

More pics of Samwell and one of Peaches. She doesn't like to show off as much for the camera

The Buff bird, Golden Child, with Samwell is a pheonix/Sebright mix I'm using for one of the pheonix projects.

Here is Chuckles (Gold Neck D'uccle/White Crested Black polish Bantam) and Giggles (Buff laced sebright/Pheonix)

Bishop (Barred cochin/Pheonix)

Sumalta [Sue-mall-tah] (Gold neck D'uccle/White Crested Black Polish Bantam)

The D'anvers looks like she's feeling a bit better.

I think something tried to get the sexlink when she was out at some point the last few days. That or she ran Into something sharp. She's got facial swelling pretty bad and seems like she can't see great now and when I went down last night, I saw a bunch of blood on her neck. I obviously grabbed her and there's a giant puncture on her neck, deep enough the Qtip end fit inside while I was cleaning it out.

I'll be trimming the area tomorrow if she's still okay and she's in a kennel in the barn to keep her seperate so nothing picks on her or picks her off while she heals. I'm hoping the swelling is wound related and not that she's sick from something.
