Enjoying



The chickens enjoying the warm sun and dry ground on the cement pad. They are really laying now. We are getting over a dozen eggs a day. Now to try to figure out what to do with all the eggs. Taken 1/4/2008.

Shelter



Some of My Darling Wife's chickens huddled up against a building on a cold day. The sun really reflects off this building so when it is cold the chickens really like to group up here. Taken 11/28/2007.

Out And About



The new chickens are really starting to get out and about now. We moved them over to the regular coop and they are integrating with the older ones. The survival rate of this bunch was a little lower than we are used to. We are only going to end up with 12 laying hens out of 25 received. I think Mittens making a snack out of 6 of them as babies accounts for a large portion of that but a couple of them deciding to take a swim in the stock tank hasn't helped the situation. Taken 8/12/2007.

Strange Looking



This is one weird looking chicken My Darling Wife got with this batch. The company she gets them from usually throws in one free exotic chicken with every order and this one must be it. I think it is the first one that has ever survived. Taken 8/1/2007.

Herding



The new chickens are sure growing fast. They are wandering all over the place. Lucky keeps trying to herd them around. Where he is trying to take them is beyond me, but he keeps trying. Taken 6/25/2007.

Two Weeks Old



The new chicks at two weeks old. My Darling Wife says they are at the ugly stage. Far be it from me to argue with her. Taken 5/21/2007.

Replacements



My Darling Wife's new laying chicks came in yesterday. What the hatchery calls a brown egg layer mix so who knows what breeds there are in it. I think the older chickens sensed their replacements had arrived. They laid more eggs yesterday than they had in a long time. Taken 5/7/2007.

Long Time, No Chicken Picture

FROM THE PHOTO ARCHIVES
New not previously published




Two of My Darling Wife's chickens. Right now they are laying over 18 eggs a day. The big problem with that is we can barely even give them away, let alone sell them. We have them for our personal use and sure do enjoy the eggs but I sure wish they were easier to get rid of. Taken 3/16/2006.

Chicken Chasing

Yesterday I commented on the heifers chasing the chickens. Today I have a picture of a heifer running at a chicken to get it. I wish I could have gotten more but the camera takes a long time to recycle between pictures.



This Momma cow is taking exception to this chicken being in the pen with her baby and going to chase her out. The chicken left in a big rush. I find it so funny to watch the heifers chase the chickens. The chickens have no idea what the problem is.

Be still with yourself until the object of your attention affirms your presence. Minor White

UPDATE: I thought I posted this in the morning. Oops, I didn't. Here it is.

New Baby



This calf doesn't seem to know what to make of the chicken going by. A lot of times the new mothers won't even let the chickens in the pen with their babies. It's real funny to see a cow chase a chicken off.

Critters

Hey, I've noticed that it has been a while since I posted any pictures of the critters around here so I guess it's time for some critter pictures.



A couple of My Darling Wife's chickens out enjoying the sunshine yesterday. We are getting all kinds of eggs now.




Mittens enjoying the sunshine while watching me work.




Over where the cows are at there is not much snow or ice left but here around the houses the ice is still giving us problems. Nylon doesn't seem to mind it to much, He's real careful around it.




"Thar be cows!" As you can see there is not much snow left and the cows are really enjoying it. We just finised putting thier hay out and they are busy eating.


Also close encounters make bad pictures because the animal looks ill at ease. I try very hard not to get into these situations. Nigel Dennis

Random Photo from The Gallery

Some of the heifers pairs waiting their turn to be cut into their new home for a while. It always works the best to stop and mother them up as you kick them into the new pasture. Less trouble that way. Taken 4/10/2006.
