Just a few fun chicken pictures - first is Bossy doing what she was brought here to do: sitting a nest. There is a total of nine eggs under her, seven from Tiny and the Flashy Girls and two from Spikey and the red broilers.

After snapping this pic, I then tried to get a new picture of the two chicks who hatched the other week and are being reared by Pollux the Ameracauna capon. As I pressed the shutter button, the little Wyandotte ducked behind a 2x4 of the guinea pen, while the Meatie did an about-face and put his head down. Chickens ...
So I decided to get another pic of the two black Silkie pullets who are laying, and this time they co-operated! Here is a surprisingly good photo of the two black pullets and a splash pullet, shot through the wire and also through a spider web.

You can also see all the feathers laying around as the splash Silkies do their juvenile molt in preparation for the pullets to start laying. This is about as close as I care to get to looking like snow! LOL
