Chickadees

The Chicken And The Hawk

I lost another chicken to the wildwoods in my backyard. This time it was a hawk. Very sad, but the hawk was so beautiful.
The hawk got tangled up in the chicken fencing after he killed my Dominique chicken.
I watched him spellbound until he got loose and flew away.

New Chicks

This year we got 8 new chicks from http://www.mypetchicken.com They arrived healthy and lively. They are great egg-layer breeds, 2 Buff Orpingtons, 2 Speckled Sussex, 2 Delawares, 1 Lavender Orpington and 1 White Rock. Below are videos of them at about 1 week and the second video is at about 3 weeks. They are growing fast!
