Fear the Chicken!

I'm not sure if it's a "male" thing or Jessie can smell fear, but he has certainly taken a liking to attacking Brian. I too have taken a liking to it because it's funny to hear Brian yell obscenities when a critter that's not even half his size dominates him! In the last few days the attacks have escalated. Brian talks big, but I have a feeling that he won't do anything to fight back.

Once again, the chickens prove to be therapeutic...for me not Brian.

Production Lull

Egg production is at an all time low here at Linda Lane Farms. I should actually say egg "consumption" is low. Jessie has a little congestion that he can't kick so we've had to put him on antibiotics. We tried to separate him from the girls, but he went a wee bit cuckoo! He was trying to fly out of his coop...which means he was hitting his head on the top of the run. It was pretty sad. So, I did what every mother at the grocery store does as her child screams for candy...I beat him. Haha! I kid! I kid! I gave in and put him back with the girls. So now they are ALL getting antibiotics which means we have to discard all of the eggs for now. Seems like a waste, but t least Jessie will feel better soon.

A Day to Celebrate!

As of this morning we have NO store bought eggs in the refrigerator! From here on out we will only eat what our working girls provide us. Pray they keep putting out! Haha

Words of Wisdom

I like to think this applies to more than just hens and roosters...I'll let you interpret this as you wish. By "you" I mean "men." And by "I'll let you interpret this as you wish," I mean, "What exactly IS your role??"
Hahahahahahaha

This is hanging at Babe's. They feed you full of chicken and some may say they feed you full of bull too.

Friend or Foe?

Polo is trying his hardest to infiltrate the Chicken Clan. He really wants to be friends (I think). After the Great Chicken Eating Scare of 2011, I just can't be 100% comfortable with the dogs and chickens hanging out. Tes and Polo are only allowed to have supervised visitation as of now.

Polo tries to get as close as possible without getting pecked. This picture was taken when the chickens were in a trance while sun/dirt bathing (more info on this topic will be issued later).

Photos from a broad...

My cousin, Shawnee, sent me pictures of her wee one playing with chicks. Such cuties!! Maddox isn't bad either. Haha.

Shawnee's raising up a new generation of chicken farmer!
