A free range flock of happy bantams. Silkies, Wyandottes, Pekin. Sometimes some young ones for sale.

Newest flock members Elsa and Anna exploring the garden.

Hooky the cockerel is less than impressed by the new little interlopers, but they are faster than him so still get the sweetcorn and worms.

Some of the flock having a preen and generally winding down at the end of the day.

Nearly bed time for the chooks.

Polly’s newly hatched little ones just a few days old and hungry!

Stellar Rock Chick and chief flockchick Gaga has sadly died tonight. She was the first of my chooks and always the favourite. She will be enormously missed. The rest will be competing for her space tomorrow, as the chooks are nothing if not ruthless! So I wanted to celebrate her here. These couple of pics kind of sum up her loveliness and fearlessness.

Some well camouflaged chooks sunbathing and dust bathing on a lovely late summer day, plus Hooky the cockerel.

Nice to see everyone chilling in the shade… including the two young chocolate babies who are now almost grown up. One girl, one boy who will be the new cockerel for the flock once he finishes growing up.

These lovely chocolate chicks are seven weeks old now, hanging out in the greenhouse until they are old enough to meet the rest of the flock. Got them as eggs for hatching to add a bit of colour variety, and it’s been an interesting experience hand raising them with incubator then brooder, as none of the girls were broody at the right time to sit them, but they are doing well as you can see.

Just realised it’s been ages since the last post. Here’s a tiny film of a pair of chocolate coloured babies brewing under a brooder. None of the girls were broody at the right time, so I’ve had to go high tech with these,but the new little ones wil be out and about as soon as allowed. Plus there are a couple of Wyandotte bantams to come which I am rehoming due to lack of space in their previous home. It will be fun to watch them all playing out once they can!

Some better pics. I think two of these are probably boys, the white one and the pretty pale grey, slightly cuckoo-patterned one who inexplicably has a very non-standard yellow beak. So if you know anyone who would like a lovely Silkie cockerel please do let me know.

The three eldest Silkie babies all in a row. They are enjoying the warm weather.

Miss Fluffy Bum. AKA Ms carnivorous terror, AKA Paloma. She likes leftover cat food, has been known to chase said cat off to get it, and I strongly suspect she would eat the actual cat too if she stayed still long enough. I keep my doors and windows closed to avoid being pecked to death in my bed.

The chooks are really enjoying the dropped rose petals. Apparently a chicken luxury food!

13/05/2022

Dinner for two… nice to see Gaga’s fox experience hasn’t left her with any lasting fear of red four-legged creatures!

10/05/2022

It’s been a while since the last post! All chickens now out and about and these are the newcomers, Polly II, Belinda and Madge. Sadly the original Polly was the victim of a bad fox incident, which was a massive shock. Gaga too was badly bitten but survived like the bad-ass she is. Coop security now much increased!
