Happy Chickens

The Best Nest

The Blue Hinge Coop

We cleared out a place for a house and moved in. (Still with a heating lamp) They were only 4 weeks and I wasn't sure if they were ready. Thank you Papa for the lovely coop deville and for EVERYTHING! If not for you I wouldn't have my biddies and therefore would not be as happy as I am right now.

A Peak Behind the Curtain

Meanwhile, living the life of the Never a Care

No job, no schedule, no 7:30 a.m, no drivers licsence and no money (except that which isn't mine)

Love Beards

It get's sweeter everyday and so do the Beards. (I like to call them the Beards cuz it draws attention to one of the characteristics they have differen't from most any other chickens.) They fly VERY well as you can see in the picture of Fauna on top of the cage. The two used to be twins (Fauna and Minerva) are in my lap. And Henry looks quite strange. I can't figure out if she's just faded or if she's supposed to look like that. They are on the tail end of three weeks.

When I Grow Up

She's BEAUTIFUL! Actually no. They look quite awkward right now. Their fuzz is starting to resemble possum hair and it soars around the room like big gnats so they snatch it out of the air and swallow it. Tasty!

This is Minerva. They are three weeks now and their personalities are practically screaming from within their little frames. She has a very pretty feather design sprouting out of her, very different from Fauna who was practically her twin for looks. Minerva is the sweetest. Then Dragon and Henry and then they all sort of go down hill from there. Though I am determined that it shall not last! I love to feed them from my hand and there little paddy feet are so soft. I'm not sure if it's good but they are CRAZY for shredded cheese. I can't wait for them to start actually looking like hens and not little colorful crows.

Let me introduce you: From left to right it's Gwideon, Mimmir, and Dragon. Dragon was named for her fierce looks, but really she's kind of sweet. They are the three gold ones but Gwideon is a slightly differen't shade as you can see. These were taken the first day. They were exactly a week old. Born March 10th the same as my cat and my aunt! While trying to find names for them it struck me that Goddess names fit there funny little figures and faces so I have named them all after Greek Goddesses! Except for Dragon...

Minerva

Minerva is the biggest over all.
Minerva: Goddess of War
Ha!
