Getting harder

It's strange, but birds don't ever do what you want them to...especially, posing for pictures. Today was pretty bad. The mother and babies are still posing...but, not the roosters.

I was very sick...sorry for the absence

If you have ever felt poisoned...then you know what I've been doing since I was here last. I finally made it outside this morning. I noticed the baby chicks have really gotten bigger. There is a picture of them. I am still not completely well, but I think this update will feel like a victorious cure for the weak one...(me)
Also, I owe a first rate thank you to my beautiful wife for keeping our beautiful chickens fed and safe while I was unable.

Misc.Wednesday

No major events...coyotes in the morning
hawks in the afternoon
and some fresh evidence from the bobcat...
it's just another day for these beautiful roosters and chickens...
Survival is the key to all of life's locked doors!!!
So, count on these guys...they will survive!

These hens are all peeking into the cage to see the new baby chicks!!!

                                                                                 

                                                                                 

Hi, Mom...(again)

More pictures of Mom?
Well, why not?
She loves us without end...
and would die for us in an instant...
There is no one greater than Mom!
And, there is no warmer place on Earth...
than under her wing!

Beautiful feathers never rest

Beauty is everywhere...but most of it is in the plumage of roosters when they flap their wings for the ladies! Egotism is probably most of it, but it is impressive, too! So, "mucho macho en este mundo" might be the theme...but it's for the ladies and that can't be bad.
Flap, flap, flap, hey gimme your phone number, flap, flap...

Let's do what Mom does

When Mom is happy, we are happy.
So, let's do what she's doing. Even if you're on the wrong side of the fence. She seems to like it when we stay clean and neat...
And, if possible fly up and sit on her back for a better view...
