Prisoners

The chickens are now under our power. No longer will they jump onto our heads or fly onto the floor (like a certain Jemima incident last night). We have built a netting tablle and put it on top of the bath. Pictures are coming, and the chicks look very unhappy.
Other words, THEY ARE HUUUUGE!! As big as doves. I can't wait untill the chickies are big lady chickies!

EVEN MORE MUCK

When will it end?!? These chickies poop like crazy! The bottom of the tub was almost all brown when we got to it today. (!!!) We had to do the same procedure and it's now one of our daily chores...

Muck, muck, muck

Hey!
Saturday we had to muck out the chickies. We put them in a huge plastic box (no lid) with their food and water. We scooped up all the poop and shavings with a hand broom and dustpan and put in new shavings. They seem very very very very very very very happy! Bella is BIGGER than Rodriguez. Pucca has grown, and Chicken Licken is now the smallest.
She doesn't have to worry about being crushed by the sky no!
Bye Bye,
Marco

The Chickies are Cool

The chickens have had their temperature going down to around 90 degrees. They are bigger and Pucca has started to get whiter fluff/pin feathers! Delia put in parsley for a new treat and the chickies kind of ignored it. Jemima is starting to be the flying one! she flaps everywhere, especially when we put our hands in the tub.

Oh no. Today is mucking-out day...

Box Perch

Roddy likes the tool box that we put in there. I made it when I was 6. Thats all there is for now.



See ya,

Mini Roosting Thing

It's like a thing with a handle so the chickies can roost and prepare for having eggs. I like to eat scrambled eggs and I am now a vegetarian (untill I see a hamburger).

BOY CHICKIES?! NEVER.

Ah! Josie and Roddy might be cockrels! NEVER!

Tonight we were going to have a TV din-din and watch a Dirty Jobs with Mike Rowe (sexing chicks) but instead we looked at The Land of Ice and Fire pictures (Iceland volcano). The chicks got to see my best friend for the first time after school today! She was so funny with them. She was like Mother Hen.

---Ciao for Now, my chickadees
