Rebock is sorry she’s such a scruffy little chicken. She tried her best to fluff up her scrawny little butt for a picture. She hopes it is acceptable she says.
Bock is indeed very sweet. I can ‘talk’ to her constantly (in her language) and she talks back. When I have them out free ranging she will come over frequently to check in with me. If Cluck or Beaker are on the nest she will go and check on them!
I just love her❤️
Thought I’d add a mug today of Bock. She did something very peculiar today! First, she caught a grasshopper, ate half and brought the rest over to Cluck, the barred rock, and put it down in front of her. Cluck’s no dummy of course, and she ate it. Then later on, Bock picks some seeds off of the...
Hello everyone! Still here , I have my chickens for one extra month-yeah!:)
Still like to ‘listen’ and learn from you all.
I would also like to vote for Sansa! Lilly is beautiful, yet there’s something very sweet looking about Sansa.
Also, since it’s Friday…you’ll all be pleased to know that I’m now giving my chickens supervised free ranging now! The only downside has been that they are always yelling at me to let them out….
Here’s Beaker in the sun 🙂
Well I thought I would finally say something…I’ve been quietly watching all this unfold. First let me say that I‘m sorry for your experience with the shipping of your chicks, BY Bob. Losing those two was indeed heartbreaking and there you were, in the thick of it. Bless you for all your time and...
My Red is indeed rumpled! She’s been like that from day one. This is the first time that this farm has had a rent a hen program, and while I think it’s a neat idea in theory, now that I know more about hens I don’t think it’s fair to them, to be honest. The owners are really nice yet farm...
Just saying hi again-I am still lurking here! I’ve tried to check in once and a while to keep up yet it’s no use…you guys talk a LOT:)
Anyway, when I have time I’m still reading from the beginning, yet only made it to post 1000 so far! Just enjoying the ever evolving story of your hens, BYBob...
I don’t say much on this thread yet this was very sad to read. I didn’t think I’d like chickens so much yet I now understand how they can bring so much joy, and that certain individuals really touch us somehow. I’m sorry for your loss:(
Steal away! I named her after Beaker from the muppets, as she has a little fuzz of feathers on her head, and squeaks similar to how Beaker ‘talked.’ Yet I also call her ‘little’ as she’s the youngest, or Speedy as she is very quick-she has to be to get her food without getting scolded. She will...
Hello! I love B.C. You guys are as hot or hotter than we are right now. This is crazy heat-I grew up in the east Kootenays and it was never this hot! Hoping for some rain.
