As you can see, Jimette and Karène are not bothered at all by the slushy mess on the ground right now!
Neither is Sophie!
The chickens have been complaining that they aren't getting enough airtime on the blog...
Penelope and Emma settling down for the night. Emma left her nest in the barn today. :( I guess that means no Christmas chicks for us! She was off it all day, then came into the coop at bedtime.
And have I even introduced our new rooster?
This is Zydeco, the Partridge Chantecler. He came to us as yet another prize from that rooster crowing contest back in September. I was offered two Partridge Chantecler chicks in the spring, but then Laurie the breeder called me to ask if I wanted a rooster now.
He is the biggest chicken we have. He is also a TOTAL horn-dog. He especially likes to jump on poor tiny Georgiana. I was afraid he'd smother her the first time I saw THAT happen. He was with a bunch of roosters at Laurie's farm, and probably thinks he's died and gone to rooster heaven. Well HELLO, ladies!
I like seeing everyone settled in for the night... that window opens into the duck coop. Not sure if they enjoy that view or not!
And here is my lovely Charlotte!
And here's Cupcake, snuggled down in an old apple box...
Tina is is the filling in a Sherlock/Lord Gaga sandwich! Wait, that sounded a bit naughty.
I think Lord Gaga is Sherlock's Dad.
The line-up!
Good night, Charlotte!
I'm speechless, and anyone who knows me knows how unusual that is.

DeleteGood night, Knatolee.
ReplyDeletePretty fancy looking birds. Neat idea to go out and take photos when they are roosting.
ReplyDeleteIt's nice because they actually sit still for photos!
DeleteWhat a world they have!
ReplyDeleteI shall be having a word with my gals, they're such a scruffy bunch compared to your lot.
ReplyDeleteOh Cro, I have a few scruffy ones! They're not in the photos. :)
DeleteSuch beauties and not one will be dinner!
ReplyDeleteI love that in the line up,one chicken is facing the other way. REBEL!!
ReplyDeleteJane x
I didn't even notice that. Hilarious!
DeleteGeorgianna is my favorite hen of the bunch, so seeing her in the lineup was a treat. I'm so sorry to hear that she's been the target of Zydeco's predation!
ReplyDeleteI knocked him off her again today. She is such a dignified little chicken. Very sweet!
DeleteWhat a darling bunch of chickens you have. I love that they are each distinctive enough that you can name them. My turkeys are so similar that the only one I have named is the little late-comer with a limp who joined the flock. I call her Priscilla because it was around Thanksgiving. She walks much better now but holds the leg up when she's standing still so it must still hurt. Thanks for the visit to your chicken coop!
ReplyDeletePriscilla is a great name for a turkey! I'm glad she's doing better. :)
DeleteI love the little ducky footprints in the snow!! :D I'd like to see a close up of just those.
ReplyDeleteI´m missing the cold weather... enjoy!
ReplyDeleteThey are all looking very happy and healthy.
ReplyDeleteYou'd think those little duck feet would get cold in the snow.
Pretty, pretty chickens! Everyone looks so content!
ReplyDeleteWow, I guess I wouldn't mind coming back as a chicken if I was guaranteed a spot in your coop!!!
ReplyDeleteThey have a pretty good life here!
DeleteBeautiful pictures of your cute chickens.
ReplyDeleteHugs
Glorious pictures! I love the "ribbons" created in the snow in the second photo. And, from here, the snow and slush is really beautiful.. From HERE...
ReplyDeleteI think that was done by the carpenters who installed our new bookcases. They backed a trailer up there.
DeleteI love the chickens; they have so much personalty. I bet you're wishing you were in Tabago again with that slushy stuff. We're wet, but for now the snow is staying in the Cascades, which is okay by me. XOXO
ReplyDeleteOooh, Susan, my dirty little not-secret is that I LOVE winter. :)
