Sweet Crowley is back in lay! Very exciting. Why? Because a laying chicken is an extra friendly chicken. More hugs!

Castiel needs to up her game. No roundest chickie awards for her! Cutest, maybe?

Pippin and Mithrandir would be house chickens except they roost on the door, wake up early, set off the burglar alarm, and poop on everything.

Cute though.

Ron looks so mean, but she's a real sweetie. I love that she's staying to enjoy hugs

Every night Crowley likes to play How Round Can I Get. I think she beat her record last night.

Trying to watch TV with Tiny Kevin is a bit of a non-starter. She thinks her butt is more interesting than Néro The Assassin.

It's not.

Since Gizmo died on Christmas day, I haven't felt like posting much.

But everything is awful, so have some chickens.

I found this picture of Elspeth from 2019. Elspeth was blind, and very sweet. Then she'd go broody and be very angry at everyone and everything. She would peck you. Hard. In the face.

We've rescued so many disabled chooks over the years.

Moth decided it was rubbish outside and had decided to make the kitchen her home while it's snowing. My sweet girl is almost 11 years old, and has mellowed enough to accept the occasional hug.

Throwback to when we still had Black Noir. Yet another sweetie-roo, who loved his mama. He also loved Noot Noot, and was a very special boy.

Tiny Kevin is getting a tiny bit spoilt.

Sorry. More spoilt.

Noot Noot was my best friend.

She was a huge personality and if you ever wronged her she would show you The Butt. One way to upset her was to tell her she couldn't sleep on the kettle.

Who wants to see one of Gizmo's baby photos?

This is right after I stole him. It was thievery, or let him be snake food.

I backed up all my phone images so I can delete a stack to make more space. In doing so i just came across this gem of a shot from NYE 2023.

"Paint me like one of your French Hens"

I miss my baby boy.

My sweet boy passed peacefully in the night.

Rest ye well, baby boy. May flights of angels sing thee to thy rest.

I love you Gizzy boy.

Poor Gizmo. He was getting better. I thought he was OK, but he's sick again. I'm keeping him inside for warmth, but I'm worried. Send healing vibes for my baby.
