Sadly we lost two white chickens this past week. One seemed sick for a couple of days before she passed. The other passed quickly, and may have been heat related.
Meanwhile Gimpy, our crippled chicken continues to thrive. She has learned to half-fly/run to get where she needs to go. She has been crippled since she came to us. I keep her leg bandaged, so she doesn't get sores on it. I really didn't think she would survive to adulthood, but she is surprising everyone.
George (our Silkie) was featured in a local video this week. I'll give the URL to watch later, but it is top secret until it's local release.
Leopold is getting his tail plumage going, and is learning to crow. It is sooo funny to hear, but he's getting better and better.
The two little ducklings are doing great, despite the intense heat this past week. We have named them Hansel and Gretel. They are starting to get their white tail feathers in, and are about 3X their original size. One is even attempting to quack now, instead of peeping all the time.
No eggs yet...waiting with baited breath.
