TIME TO MEET THE CHICKADEES

Cher hatched 4 chicks there are 3 yellow ones and one black one. Black one is the smallest.

Cher is from the first batch of chicks we got called the Chicklets.

This is Cher she is not looking so good. She is taking a needed break from her nest of 10 eggs. She is doing a good job so if the boys did their job than we should get a good hatch near the end of this month. Normally she has a pretty fancy hair do but no time for maintenance I guess lol

We went to auction and picked up our money for the last 4 we sold. We got 10 bucks each so that is ok since they were older and that is what we paid for new layers this spring.

TIME TO GO TO THE AUCTION

Spike, two old hens and one Nigon went to the auction. Not sure what we got for them. Makes more room in the hen house which we will need. Cher is sitting on 10 eggs. So more baby chicks around the 23rd of this month. We still don't know for sure if any more of the Little Rascals are roosters, we hope not.

LITTLE RASCALS ARE 11 WEEKS OLD

This is Peek-a-boo and we think she is female. Their mom Heidi is laying eggs again. Where as Henrietta who is this one's granny is only now thinking about laying again.

Rockie and Rockie 2. The black one we believe is female.

We still can't be sure which are the boys and which are that gals. We should be able to tell but we can't . This one we think is male because his tail is down and he is so colourful.

NOW THATS AN EGG

Danny looked after the chickens while we were away and when he stopped over the other day he brought us one of the eggs he had collected. It turned out to be the only double yolker we have ever had.

LITTLE RASCALS ARE FOUR WEEKS OLD

They sure are growing fast, much faster than the chicklets.

Peek-a-boo and Rockie2 still hang out together although when in close quarters they tend to play fight. They love being outside

LANCE HAD TO GO

Had to say Good bye to Lance. Rocky would not let Tonto do much he chased him off all the time. So Lance had to go to the auction and Tonto will take over Lance's duties . He is very pretty I expect he went to a hobby farm. Man are his hens pissed off.They won't shut up. Marv better get Tonto moved over to their pen.
