He’s so excited! It’s springtime! He wants to chase and peck and crow!
The only problems is, he isn’t allowed to crow because we’re in The City and he isn’t exactly welcome here. Poor Lord Firestar, he doesn’t like being put in his cage.
Poor Lord Firestar
March 5th, 2010Who layed it?
February 24th, 2010Another egg! This one is darker than any of the eggs we’ve gotten so far. Who layed it? The plot thickens.
Hopefully I’ll get some pictures soon! I keep forgetting!
Suspects:
Yellow
Chipmunk (possible….)
Help (I doubt it)
I don’t think it was Egglantine or Lady Sandstorm. Egglantine still looks like an overgrown baby and Lady Sandstorm lays a lighter colored egg. Very puzzling!
Chipmunk….laying?
February 18th, 2010We think she is! We’ve gotten two eggs on the roosts so far and Lady Sandstorm never lays in the roosts! Best of all, we got two eggs yesterday! I’ll try to get some pictures in the next few days!
Lord Firestar has been crowing a lot. He’s also been dancing for his wives more than usual. I think they all know that spring is finally here!

Kooshie may be my Backyard Chickens username but she’s also my adorable Easter Egger! Don’t you love her?
We had scrambled eggs today!
February 4th, 2010We ate the two Lady Sandstorm eggs today! That means today was the first time since August that we had real eggs! They were really good and extremely orange! Pure happiness! We thanked Lady Sandstorm, of course.
QuackStar
February 2nd, 2010QuackStar was a funny duck. He decided to join our family on May 31, 2009. We were pretty startled when a day old duckling ran up to us! We quickly became good friends. He would follow us around the house, feet slapping on the floor, bill vacuuming lint and crumbs. He loved water!
Baby QuackStar:
This is a photo of him looking cute:
Here is the last picture taken of him. A friend took it the day he flew away to be a wild duck.
I miss him!
Lady Sandstorm layed an egg!
January 31st, 2010She finally did it! That’s our first egg since August 28, 2009! That’s a long time to go without eggs. But there’s more: Chipmunk and her sisters keep sneaking into the Eglu and sitting in the nest! Maybe they’re going to lay soon. Yay!
A beautiful day!
January 28th, 2010Today was a perfect day to take pictures. The photos I took were so clear and bright that I didn’t need to use any filters to enhance the color!
Chipmunk and Help hang out.
Lord Firestar. This picture is beautiful!
Explanation
January 22nd, 2010I haven’t been able to take new pictures lately because it’s been raining! Last night the wood pellet bedding swelled up so much that it lifted the roosts! Poor chickens. Eglus are fabulous but they aren’t the best in wet weather, they’re too low to the ground.
Commenting:
I have been getting a LOT of spam lately! I had no idea how sheltered I was on Blogger. I would love it if any human readers would leave a real, intelligent comment! However, if you do, please do not put any URLs in the comments! Not even in the “your website” box. Thank you!
Poultry show!
January 16th, 2010We went to a poultry show today! Here are a few of the millions of pictures I took!
This Call duck was adorable!
A true Ameraucana (bantam)! She was very interested and alert. Lovely to see.
I just loved this Delaware bantam!
I have plenty of pictures left to post but resizing takes time and not resizing takes space so you’ll have to be patient.
