In memory of Frenchie, the robot vacuum cleaner riding chicken, we all rode the vacuum cleaner today.
Our baby chicks say hi. They say they really appreciate us giving up a bathroom for their brooding space. Little cuties will make a great addition to our flock come spring.
How would you like humans to talk when you were the victim?
As silent as possible?

#Chickens are intelligent, curious and affectionate creatures who love to forage and explore.
Mo The Magnificent, aka The World's Greatest Chicken, has passed. I felt you should know.
I'd been treating her for ascites for a couple of months. She was delighted by this, mainly because she was then allowed to wander round the kitchen and eat copious amounts of sweetcorn. She had taken to pecking at the back door to be allowed in (so naturally, we let her).
But it all got too much for her yesterday, and I had to step in. We are in mourning.
Spring & new life arriving. Our first flock of new chickens brooding in the chirping rave cave, getting taller by the hour and more feathered every day.
These are Naked Necks, with another flock of Rhode Island Reds to be our foragers in the mobile coop coming in April.
Best thing I've made in a while has probably got to be this chicken condominium (or CondoChikium)
The hens are loving the extra living space and helping me out with lovely fresh eggs! The gray brown eggs in the last photo are from our Sasso silver named Nieve.
My goal is grow the coop bit by bit until we're picking up more eggs than we can use and then sharing them around the neighborhood.

Instead of just using all available nests, all three hens crowd into one and annoy each other while laying eggs.

Since we’re all talking about the price of #eggs, know that male chicks, deemed worthless by the egg industry, are gassed, ground up alive, or have their necks broken on day one of life. Consider egg alternatives and go vegan.

The colours of light scattering off a chicken's feathers. This lady is 12 years old, and laid a huge total of 4 eggs last year. But she still loves to come out every day and scratch around in my in-laws' garden
