Sorry, I haven’t posted in awhile — I have been busy playing outside and enjoying the summer weather with my chickens! Everybody is happy and well, including Garretta, who is now laying again! In a previous post I said her butt was completely bare of all feathers due to pecking and molting. Well, her butt is feathering in nicely now and her molting has ceased for the time being. Dali is as happy as ever and still not relocated, although we will have to bring him to his new home sometime this week because we are going on vacation soon. We have decided to bring him to a local petting zoo where he will have plenty of hens to annoy and hopefully be very happy! At the petting zoo, there is a pen with four hens and no roosters. I am hoping the zoo will allow him to hang there with the girls seeing as he loves companionship.
The chicks — er, not so much chicks anymore — are happy and healthy and are growing as quickly as ever! Cinnamon and Saffron (the chicks) are both quite large and I can tell by there size right now that they will outgrow Guinevere and Ginger by a couple of pounds! They are currently living in our garage in a pen, but will soon be transported into an outdoor pen. They are not old enough to live with the big chickens yet, but have already been aquainted with them. Dali pecked them very lightly only a couple of times and mostly just left them alone. He did, however, shuffle around them like he does to the other hens, so I’m hoping the chicks are girls!!
As for the baby Silkies, Mary still does not have any chicks. If she doesn’t have any Silkies by August, we will have to order them from a hatchery.Well, by for now!!
I’ve seen ur chickens and they aren’t small at all
Yes, they are quite large, except for Dali 🙂
