Guess What

Chickens butt...that's what!

 

This was a favorite saying of my husbands grandmother.

I couldn't resist taking this photo of a very fluffy butt as those words popped into my head the other day!

 

 Also, fluffy butts produce lovely eggs!

These flowers are the last of the summer flowers that are sitting on the porch steps.

They have made it through one hard frost, but still have a pop of color left in them!

Phil Figures It Out

Phil is my Australorp rooster.

He has been separated from the "girls" for several months now.

Over the weekend, he figured out how to get in with them.

I managed to wrangle him out of the coop once, but within a day, he was right back with them!

 

 

 

He wins for now!

He seems rather pleased with himself! 

Net Walker

 

Meet Phil.

Phil is an Australorp Cockerel.

He is also a net walker!

He loves to show off his new talent!

 

And he refuses to get down when I tell him too!

"Talk to the fluffy butt, cause I'm not getting down!"

Cheepers Peepers

They arrived yesterday.

After a scare with the post office, some phone calls to locate them and irate words from me!

These little cuties ended up being hand delivered to me!

Sometimes it pays to be the squeaky wheel or in my case the irate, annoying crazy chicken lady!

 

In a nut egg shell, they were lost in transit.

They had been scanned out of their final sort area and supposedly were headed to our post office.

They didn't arrive!

After many phone calls, they were finally located at their last stop.

They had been scanned out for delivery, but never made it on the truck.

They were sitting on a shelf in the cold!

 

Long story short, one of the postal employee's that works in our local PO was in Reno for training.

She somehow heard about what had happened and called me to let me know she had my chicks and was bringing them to me from Reno.

 

They arrived safe and sound yesterday evening.

All sixteen little chicks greeted me with excited peeping when I lifted the lid on the box.

 

It has been eight years since we have raised chicks.

I had forgotten just how cute and fluffy they are.

And all that peeping....

So cute too!
