Leading with the Beak

Any closer and I will totally peck at your face.

Oh, hai! The girls have begun determining their pecking order in earnest, I believe. They have these ginormous beaks now, so, hey. They are very funny and cute, still, even though they’re getting all scraggly around the neck. When I come sit by their bin, they all stop and peer up at me and they’ll hop into my hand without hesitation.

under the heat lamp

Muwhahahahaha, peep peep peep, mwhahaha.

They’re scratching at their food and taking “dust baths” and they are still trying to fly, even though the netting is over the top of the bin. They FREAK OUT if we’re doing something over the bin, to which I call out… “the sky is falling, the sky is falling!”

Silly little bird-brains.

    Those are the purdiest chickens I’ve ever seen. I cannot WAIT to get my urban chickens when we get settled in our new house in West Seattle. Thanks for the chicken love today. :-)
