Traded chickens

We found a new home for the roosters, and she actually gave us some hens in trade, plus the option to get some babies when the other chickens start laying eggs since I really wanted cochins. These are supposedly Buff Orpingtons.

Police incidents can be too close for comfort!

Today, as I was leaving to pick up big brother, I saw the end of our road blocked off by police. They were there until about 10 pm. The people who live past the end of our road had a hard time getting home, and a few ended up parking in front of our house.



After this picture was taken they set up a pop up shelter, I guess for a command center. She was curious and went to talk to the cops.

Chickens are grown up!

The chickens are starting to crow. It's not a good thing. I think both are roosters. We have to find them a new home...


We have these curly tailed lizards all over the place. Too bad they're too big for the chickens, they're invasive exotics.

Knight Anole

Found this Knight Anole at the data center. It's so cool and pretty big, too bad they're invasive exotics.

Fully feathered chickens

The cutest chicks are now fully feathered! They are cochins, not silkies. Still not sure whether they're boys or girls.

2 chicks and a kitty

The chicks are getting bigger. They're starting to feather out, but I don't think they're silkies.

We got chicks!

We went to buy food for the quail and brought these two chicks home! I wasn't planning on bringing any home, but another woman said they were silkies because they were feather footed, and I had it in mind that I wanted silkies.
