LOL!!!  Little cliques… LOL!!!  And who would believe all the strange sounds that chickens can make when they gossip.  Movie makers should tape that for monster sounds.

Yesterday and today the mixed up crazy sheep dog helped me herd chickens back into the pen.  Really, all he did was literally sit in front of the open door and let themjump over him. Of course, did not have camera in pocket.  He was supervising. 

Mine are laying like crazy, too!   Big girls (8 girls, various breeds) have each layed a big brown egg each day all week. Somehow… three other Bigs turned out to be roosters, who are just about half grown, and I have a 2 year old huge roo already.

I guess the young boys will go to the Feed Store to let the guy there sell them.  I butchered a lot of meat in younger days, but it is just not something I want to do any more.

They are just gorgeous, red and shiny with green lights where the sun hits the black feathers on the tail. They should have a harem and strut around instead of becoming chicken fajitas.

And the banties!!  Eggs on the ground, eggs in the straw UNDER the nest box, eggs in both egg boxes.  Three tiny tiny roosters and I don't even know how many hens.  A friend calls these diet eggs, and actually sells banty eggs as "diet eggs."  They make wonderful one bite pickled eggs.  The roos are all duckwings, a black and white, a partridge pattern in gold, and a blackbreasted English red.

AND… one more and… mama pijjie is about to hatch two more babies!  Spring is definitely popping.
