Who layed it?

Wednesday, February 24th, 2010

Another 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?

Thursday, February 18th, 2010

We 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!

Lady Sandstorm layed an egg!

She 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!

Today 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!

Diapers!

Wednesday, January 6th, 2010

That’s right, diapers!  Some relatives got me and Lord Firestar a purple butterfly extra small chicken diaper!  As you may (or may not) know, I really wanted one!  I’ll take pictures of it tomorrow!  Cross your fingers that it will work right!

We gave the Seramas milk today and Lady Sandstorm drank a lot.  Then her head got too low and it all trickled out of her beak.  It was gross.

Oh, and here’s some weight statistics, cross-posted from blogger Plain Old Chickens:

Lady Sandstorm weighs 13.2 ounces.
Chipmunk is 15.6 ounces.
Egglantine is…. 8.6 ounces!

Funny little Eggie.

My Seramas

Monday, January 4th, 2010

I have six Seramas at the moment.  Two from Jerry’s Seramas and four which were hatched from said pair’s eggs.  They are:

  1. Lord Firestar, rooster of the flock.  He’s heroic in the sense that, like a hero in a book, he fears violence and bloodshed.  A gentle rooster.
  2. Lady Sandstorm has an obsession.  She loves hair!  The little creep would spend her life eating the stuff if we let her!  Lady Sandstorm is also a good mom.
  3. The best way to explain Chipmunk’s personality is to say that she would fit right in as one of the three stooges.
  4. Yellow is sort of in love with Lord Firestar.  They hang out together quite a bit.
  5. Help is a little bit dumb but very pretty.  Her body is mostly cream colored and her neck a head feathers are reddish.
  6. Egglantine is the baby of the family!  She’s smaller and younger than the others.

Yes, I’m going to post pictures!
