I was aiming for the St Paddy's day Irish drunk look...

You found the look!

Happy St. Patrick's Day to you as well. Please advise your chickens to NOT drink and fly, as we do not want tipsy chickies in the sky.

I'm thinking barred. That looks like the indicator spot, at least to me...

My heart is ready for striped chickens again

Periwinkle has such a crest floof!
Yeti had to come out for a cuddle

Delft is getting a coppery ring around the neck

Blue is trying to be the leader. The rest don't always listen

Hello to the lovely couple!

That there is a nest...no poops present to indicate she sleeps there...maybe soon she will lay? After she feels comfortable of course.

And look at this beautiful feather Marble gifted me. He's very chill. I can gently guide him around with a stroke on a wing.

We do a similar thing with horses’ hooves, but use heavy duty epoxy to repair bad splits and cracks. They grow fine. It takes a year to grow out a hood fully; wonder how long it takes a beak to grow out….?

Yeah, chicken beaks grow slowly for sure just don't know how slowly. Poor Mr P ~ he needs to be renamed after a disaster like hurricane or tornado or battle skirmish or a war general like Montgomery, Patton or Napoleon. TY for taking good care of the gentle boy

What I like about the X-hose is that I can gather it up and throw it in a bucket in the feedroom. No more chicken poopy covered hoses!

I still need to sweep the barn floor before I haul the hose out so I don’t drag it through poops, and I need to make sure I don’t get in any on it from additions to the barn floor post sweeping usually that’s cecal poops!

But have to say I like this hose, wish I had bought the 100’ one though, I have the 75’ hose.

Yeah, our hose requirements are so different w/ yours having a large property & snow country & many animals while we have a tiny suburb property, brutal hot temps up to 7 months of the year & only a half dozen hens & mostly bantams. One thing about cecals, w/only 6 hens we still have to watch how we step around those smelly land mines!

And they are slippery suckers!

Happy Monday everyone
Here are a couple of mugshots from Pooh. I think she is a very pretty little lady.
And I know the someone said chickens don’t have eyelashes. But in the third picture it sure looks like Pooh does!

She is so cute. Yes, they look like eyelashes for sure. They are actually teeny feathers that make it look like eyelashes. So technically we can call them eyelashes ~ but maybe not in the same frame as these unusual lashes:
