December 7, 2009 - A Death in the Family

We lost one of the Buff Orpingtons today--our first death. I found her out in the pasture with no signs of 'fowl' play. She was very photogenic and had unusual green eyes--Buffs usually have amber eyes. Here are some pictures of her happy life.

October 17 , 2009 - Molting

Most of the original flock are molting and looking very ragged. The worst looking by far are the Barred Rocks--they seem to drop all of their feathers practically overnight. The first photo compares a molting Barred Rock with the same hen with feathers. This is a good thing in a production bird because it means they will have a short molt and get back to laying sooner.

October 3 , 2009 - Life on the Farm

The first photo is the Black Australorp who seems to have receovered from whatever ailment she had--too many worms?

The second photo is my Columbian Wyandotte. Notice her comb--there is a little point developing!

A few of the other also girls posed nicely.
