Lydia has taken to roosting on the outside of her nest box because she'd rather not sleep with her mean sisters. Lydia is also very concerned about any songbirds that enter our yard, and chases them with great vigor. She used to shove her face in the corner when she was a chick, to avoid having to look at the Big Scary World. Oh Lydia. I do wish I could make you less afraid.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03932975112078606231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7294106768431510384.post-75703413989772217882012-10-07T21:59:10.746-04:002012-10-07T21:59:10.746-04:00I just visited your blog yesterday for the first t...I just visited your blog yesterday for the first time (thanks to Morgan) and I just love it!! The last picture of your flock tucked in for the night is one of the most adorable chicken pictures I've ever seen. That really should go on a T-shirt, like Morgan said. <br /><br />I had 2 "special needs" chickens myself. As a pullet Alice got buried under a metal gate and two years later she survived a hawk attack. Alice never went back to normal again, but she lived a long, good life.<br />My other special chicken, Loretta, just passed away a few weeks ago. I own chickens for over 11 years and I've mourned quite a few, but over Loretta I cried like a little kid. She was such a trooper.<br />Gabrielehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02575341247403690973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7294106768431510384.post-37700600611781740892012-10-04T06:35:30.755-04:002012-10-04T06:35:30.755-04:00Thanks for the entertainment!

My low totem pole girl, Babe (my only bantam) also waits until it is almost dark before braving the henhouse door. I finally made her a wee next box on the floor for sleeping and laying, since the Big Mean Girls won't let her up on the roosting bar. I plan to get her a couple of bantam pals this spring, so she will have someone small to hang out with.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15239798951473493987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7294106768431510384.post-10874501926360253602011-04-02T11:39:10.136-04:002011-04-02T11:39:10.136-04:00Just ran into your blog, shared by a friend in a b...Just ran into your blog, shared by a friend in a book club.

As of yesterday, I am a proud mama to 3, 9 day old little chicks. 2 New Hampshire Reds and 1 Barred Rock. I had 2 Barred Rock but took one back because it was pecking at one of the little Reds eye all the time. I am excited for this new journey and so looking forward to reading your entire blog and learning from you!<br /><br />You are a wonderful inspiration and story teller! :)<br /><br />Hugs,<br />MaryjaneMaryjane-The Beehive Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10354830882985221688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7294106768431510384.post-36331150539686635382011-03-31T13:21:32.448-04:002011-03-31T13:21:32.448-04:00Wonderful!
