Day 140 - Just another day in the coop

The girls like to crowd the front gate as soon as I step in

Onxy - "Whatcha doin mom?"

Day 119 - Heat Wave!

It's been over 100 degrees this past week - so the birds got a small mister to add to their run. The bigger girls aren't very fond of it, but the silkies don't mind looking like drowned rats!

Day 115 - Silkies - Moving out day!

Today the silkies made the big trip outdoors!  They are going to live in a dog kennel for a couple weeks to let the other birds visit and get to know them. Then they'll join the flock!

Silkies aren't sure what to make of this

Hey mom - I think we'll hide in here for a couple days....

Ruby is very curious as to who is moving in

Pearl just wants to hide from all the action

Day 82 - Mommy's Turn!

Day 80 - How High Can I Go?

Tonight - all of the birds decided to get into the action of landing on daddy's arms when it came to bed time. Everyone fought for the highest position and it became quite a workout keeping them perched!

Day 80 - Silkies fugly stage

The silkies are 5 weeks old now and have really gotten into that awkward teenage stage that makes them just fugly!  They are much more feisty now and don't like to be held. Hope that changes soon!

Day 68 - Parrot?

Onyx now has this love for sitting on our arms when we go out to visit. She better be careful and no peck her dad, or he won't allow it anymore!
