A little chookie update of my new girlies, I've had them 14 weeks now - seems like 14 months!    They aren't laying YET!!! I wish they would hurry up, they look ready to lay and Dusty squats, so she is getting ready. |

Great pictures Shirls. Do they get along with the other girls now as I see them in the background in the second picture. |

I wouldn't say they 'get along' with the Buff 'ladies' jellybean, it's more a tolerating sort of relationship. But they do all sleep in one coop now, and when they are all out and sitting, they all sit together, but the Buffs are the 'top' chooks.  |

I'd love to keep chickens, but unfortunately I live in an apartment in a city that prohibits keeping chooks. Lots of people here keep them anyway, and usually get away with it unless someone complains. I've even considered keeping a small breed like bantams indoors. I'll just have to settle for my button quail, for now. They lay nice edible eggs, but they're only about the size of a large grape. I boil the eggs and feed them to the buds and the rest of the birds.

Here's a good T shirt to wear while tending to your chickens. I think that T-shirt would even scare my chickens weelouie!!! Thanks for that link Hezz, made me smile this morning, I particularly like the one: 'Mess with me and I fight back, mess with my chickens and they'll never find your body!! |
