I brought the knuckleheaded rooster, Neutrophil, into the house today. He behaved perfectly until he decided to crow, and then he had the audacity to run from me when I tried to catch him. He's so ridiculous.

Beautiful hens! The names are pretty, too. Today, I took angry little Hrutka out of her nestbox -- she went broody yesterday, and I need to break her before it gets too cold:

How handsome! I took some pictures earlier, after they went in for the night: Zapraska looking like the most innocent, irresistibly cute lump: The in-reality-nervous Poppy looking incredibly fierce:

I snatched Simnel off of a perch earlier and gave him a little cuddle. Picked Ran, who is currently limping, up and carried her back to the porch because she likes hanging out there. Sadly missed one of my guinea keets' first escapade from their box. And scolded Spook for being such a baby when...

:lau Did he get scolded by the ladies?

Not too much happened today. Eclipse is mastering his vocal chords and belted out some wonderful crows. Oh, and Marshmallow and her babies -- all of whom are currently house-chickens -- climbed up onto the back of an armchair and promptly cuddled up. I sat with them for a while. Spook remains my...

One the girls from my first batch -- which were ISA Browns -- Su, disappeared somewhere the other night and hasn't come back. I'm betting that whatever nabbed the guineas also nabbed her. Other than the losses, the flock has been doing great. Eclipse has been practicing his foghorn crow, while...

Thank you. I'm glad that I still have Spook -- he's a precious little thing, and I'm glad that he doesn't run off on his own like his daddy and auntie did. I hope to have him for a very long time to come. How has your flock been?

I discovered that Spook's father and auntie -- Moltres and Articuno, respectively -- have sadly been killed. I found a couple clumps of feathers near the driveway earlier, and they weren't in the coop last night. Unfortunately, Spook is now the sole remaining guinea in my flock. Other than that...

I "cocknapped" Eclipse from his roost in the coop, brought him inside for some cuddles, and spoiled him with some cheerios. He's so huge compared to the bantams! Oh, and I also almost fell asleep on the deck with my precious guinea, Spook, attempting to feast upon my feet. Needless to say, I...

Uh... luck? I don't know -- they just didn't seem to have anything ready to go, I guess. One of them -- a little pullet that I named Paska -- poked at my nose... the cockerel, Kirby, was very mellow, while the other pullet, Hrutka, was quite a loudmouth. They are the cutest things....

I almost fell asleep in an armchair with three two-month-ish-old Japanese Bantams on my chest. They snuggled up against my face and chin after a little bit... it was very calming and sweet....
