NomNomNomNom.... Strawberries!

We brought our Silkie hens, Holly and Stella, in from the rain last night, and while they sat to dry, we fed them some juicy strawberries. Boy, did they like them!

Peeps Has Got His Crow!

Mr. Peeps crowed for the first time the other day, and yesterday, I thought I'd try to capture his earnest if not fully realized attempt at a crow. Like a teenage boy, his voice is changing!

Videos-- Penny for your Dreams, and Mr. Peeps Comes of Age

Penny, our Delaware pullet, was sun bathing today, with her neck feathers all poofed out, and I had to get a video of it:

Then, I was watching the ducks and chickens free range,minding my own business when, to my left, a ruckus was occurring only inches away.
When I looked to see what the fuss was about, I saw Peeps and Buddy squaring off:

Buddy was chased off, Peeps turned around and I turned my camera off. IMMEDIATELY after that, I had to turn it back on again, because Oreo came up and it was on again, like a gang scene out of a 50s musical.
Oreo and Peeps face off, but with comic results:

Peeps, our cockerel Delaware shown in the videos, has been coming of age lately.
He crowed for the first time three days ago, and his feathers are really starting to mature. I can imagine that in a few short weeks, he'll be the proverbial cock of the walk...
