Cheeks' first egg!
Cheeks' first egg! A beautiful blue egg! Cheeks has come online.Poor girl, as the only Ameracauna, we'll know every day how her laying is going, while none of the other hens sign their names to their eggs.
Blondies made it to the house
They're very funny, acting like they're pretty sure they're not allowed to be here, so far from the coop, and darting into the woods when seen.But the big chickens are here (they hang around the house half the day, peering in the screen door and hoping for handouts). So the Blondies have made their way over.The house-moochers of the future.
Oreos and the Cobra mom
The guinea hen is definitely setting.No idea how many eggs she´s got. Easily 20. Perhaps a chicken egg got in there too. In fact, she could be due any day. I don´t know about guinea terms, but she´s got to be close.And since there´s only three birds walking about yet, I suspect those three are the boys, and the other hen has found her own nest site somewhere in the woods. May she walk out healthy one day with a trail of chicks.
Oreo update
Mom and the Oreos are rather wild these days. Hard to catch on camera. I get distance sightings.So far so good.They´re often off on their own, in the pasture, roaming rather farther than the other hens tend to.Once I found the Oreos inside the pig zone, Mom running up and down on the outside of the electric fence.
Instagram.
I may not make a blog post every day, but at least I Insta.
Bite size.
