Chicken Circus Act

Check out this video my mom made of us with the chickens since the batteries were dead in my camera. My step dad, Shannon, and I caught a lot of night crawlers the other night. So today we fed them to the chickens. Then we turned it into a circus act for the chickens. If I spun the worm I was holding, their heads would turn and follow. If I stood and waited, they would jump about three feet in the air, grab the worm, and swallow it whole! 

Got to go we still have like 20 worms to feed them tonight.

Peace.

P.S. Please leave comments.  And here is a shout out to Sarah Ellis!

Are You Ready for the Coop Cam?

The hens are here! I’ve been so excited about them coming that I almost cried on the bus. Each hen has their own name and personality. Red and Sarah are my hens, Miss. Piggy is my mom’s, Nitrous and Jet are my brothers, and my stepdad just named his Darla for the girl on Little Rascals. The funny part is my aunt is scared of chickens. 

Red; she is the hen with a mohawk and she is a reddish color. She is what I like to call a chubby chick. Maybe that’s why she is also the one my cat keeps an eye on. She lays a lot of eggs already.

Sarah; she is the darkest bird of all.  You might think she was the leader of the bunch. I named Sarah after my friend, she is so sweet just like the chicken. 

Miss. Piggy; she is the fattest of them all.  If you stick your finger in her cage she pecks it immediately because she hopes it may be something to eat. She has a black feather on her back that’s how we know it’s her. 

Nitrous & Jet; they look very similar but Jet is a much brighter red. They are the sisters of suspicion because they’re Brent’s birds. They are the ones with the short beaks.

There will be more stories to come, and EGGS too!

Peace*
