Fowl life in the Greenhouse

pb200018.jpg

The Silkie chicks are in their semi-independent stage (now they have pants).  They aren't always with Mom, but they are always together.  The Chanticleer teenagers are now very large, still growing every day, and coming into their gender.  White one on the left is the fastest developing roo, and he is refining his crow.   So far he sounds like Frankenstein laughing with marbles in his mouth.  The guineas on the header. And experimenting with their special sticks (they do roost on their sticks most nights.   The Silkie pre-teens sunbathing. The hens are enjoying their designated dust bath.  Note the approaching teenager - Oh, I might get in here... getting rebuffed- Snarl!  No you won't!  That hen wants it all to herself.She'll share it with a guinea hen though. It's so cute when they share. There's the keet right by the door and plywood, up on the hay bale. Usually all the Brahmas stand on top of the chickery, most of the day.  Haybale sunbathe! On the ground sunbathe...What's in the bucket?There's the chicks.  Alas, the brown one was lost.  Two healthy white chicks. The Oreo hen chilling under the coop.Guineas chilling behind her. There's fleece jacket, feathering up magnificently.  She never goes outside, preferring to stay warm.  Her fleece jacket must agree with her.  But the black really shows the dirt!
