The Ladies Free Ranging Good Time

If you like pictures of chickens, then you are in for a treat!

Lot 'o chick pics!

This is what I usually see when I go to visit the girls - 2 chunky white girls (cwg) free ranging.

Really, really free ranging.

Chicks on the prairie!

Then the next thing I see - Zela! (pronounced SAY-la)

She always comes running when she sees me.

She follows me around until I sit down and then she jumps into my lap for a cuddle.

She'll stay in my lap until I leave, if I get up she waits until I sit down again and then she jumps back up to get a hug.

Zela is such a photo hog!

Can she help it if she is so beautiful?!?

There's busy (bossy) Butter!

More of the flock - Zela, some CWGs, Lavender (on the right), Butter (way in the back), Zoe, Hawky and some red girls too.

It's funny, but I can pick out Zela, Butter and Lavender's voices from the rest of the flock, even in the dark.

Really Zela? Every picture?

Hello!

I love the CWGs face whiskers.

Hey! One of these things is not like the other...........

Lavender!

A CWG and Butter.

Gossip 'round the watercooler.

This Lady is a real snuggler, but I can't remember her name!

She's sweet, but jealous. When I'm holding Zela and not petting her, she will pull feathers out of Zela's tail until I pay attention to her!

Butter says, "See 'ya again soon and bring raisins next time."

Chicken Adventures and Eggs!

More pictures of the Ladies from yesterday.

Butter checks on the nest box action.
Who's in there?

"Could I have a little privacy?"

Butter to Zela: "Do you have any eggs under there?"

Zela: "Buzz off! I'm busy."

"One, two, three, four..."

Isn't she pretty?

Nest boxes are a good place for a nap.

Lavender.

And

Remember the Purple Girl?

Her feathers have grown in.

Zeeba takes a stroll.

Hop.

Jump!

Lavender: "It's true. I layed them all."

Lots of beautiful eggs!

The terracotta one in the center is Zela's egg.

I watched her lay it.

Goats and Sheep and Snow

These are pictures I took yesterday, while visiting the chickens, sheep and goats at Carol's house.

Bo and Peep (the sheep) are talking: "Don't look at the humaaaan Peep."

Peep: "Oh, sorry Bo. Eyes forward! Humans are invisible....humans are invisible.....what human?"

"Whoa! What's that! A human? Aaaahhh! I looked at it!"

"What human?"

"They are invisible....can't see them....won't see them....."

Goat eyelash batting.

"Please may I have some more?"

Sorry, even that cute pose won't get you more food.

Aha sheep! Made 'ya look!

Chicken Coats

I get to chicken sit again!

Yay!

I spent a couple hours with the girls today.

And made them coats.....

I think this picture below sums up the Ladies opinion of coats.

A few of the girls were being picked on by their sisters.

Now they sport stylish pink fuzzy coats to cover their bare backs.

Warm and toasty!

I cut the holes too big on the first couple.

They are very easy to make.

No sewing!

This one is the right size.

It fits tighter across her back.

Look at little Hawky!

Pretty girl!
