Of course we are all forced to drink out of this mud puddle. The fresh water in the containers you provide is literally TOO FAR away. (The waterer is visible in the background of this photo. Monsters.)

Please help me name this baby! She is a #SicilianButtercup. She is very inquisitive but a little shy. She is both a chaser and chasee. I am partial to historical, punny, and long names. Not Goldie – too easy. Let’s go!

Chicken play in three parts: Becky wants down but is very bad at jumping. Miss Hawkins is giving advice. Then there is a chase going on off to the side so Sonia and the #SilverGreyDorking get closer to me for protection. Finally, Becky manages a jump! And, scene. All drama, all the time.

#Driveway #gate modeled in #fusion360. 8ft tall 53ft wide. The movable section will be cantilevered across the driveway and roll to the side to open using a modified garage door opener. #Cumaru is currently winning the battle of the Brazilian #hardwood species for the body. #drivewaygates #fabrication #woodworking #ipe
New name alert! This is Kahlo. She is named after Frida Kahlo, the famous Mexican artist most known for her self portraits. Kahlo the Chicken is also very into selfies and, while I do not think she has eyebrows, makes a strong hair statement in her own way. Welcome Kahlo!

The first minute of The Merge! I opened the small door between the two runs and now the adults and babies are interacting in an an enclosed space! Turn up the volume! Vi and Big Red are hiding in the corner complaining. The babies are using the excellent strategy of staying on the high perches. So far, no fights. They’ve been interacting in the yard for about 2 months so I am hoping this is not too much of a struggle. Fingers crossed!

These two nimrods figured out how to fly on top of the fence but now can’t get down! The chickens on the ground are freaked out because their sisters are on the fence and the chickens on the fence are yelling because they can’t get to the ground.

0.78% of 26.4 gallon tank minus probably .5 gallons in the filter, pump and lines times 15mpg = 3.03 miles. It took 25.01 gallons with the filler neck so there is room to go further. Sometimes it’s good to know just how far you can push things. #donttrythisathome #runningonempty #mercedes #sprintervan # ultragauge
The tag says Rumex Raspberry Vinaigrette. Last year the deer ate it to the ground in the fall and it sprouted back up in the spring! I replanted it this year and hope to eat some. We’ll see!

Dear Sonia,
I am concerned that you have a large comb and wattles that your sister Ruthie does not have. However, you show no signs of being aggressive. Just a fashion statement?
Please be a hen.
Love,
Jesse

Oh my god Vi! I’m on the ground trying to take pictures. I am not distributing treats. Get out of the frame! (And how cute is Donna in the back left? Did someone say treats?)

This is Wilga! I choose to pronounce it with a Germanic bent – think Vilga. She is a #Faverolle, sporting the trademark beard. She is named after Wilgefortis, a female saint of popular religious imagination whose legend arose in the 14th century, and whose distinguishing feature is a large beard. Her name is thought by some to derive from the Old German “heilige Vartez” (“holy face”). Thanks @wikipedia! So, this is holy face the chicken! Love her!

Big Red Chicken gives excellent side eye! My four big girls are now 6.5 years old. They are still laying about two eggs a day between them. They are as spunky as ever. I assume they’ll live to be 100.

Nature walk! These flower clusters were each the size of a pencil eraser. I didn’t realize they were individual flowers until I looked at the picture! The #LancasterCountyPark has excellent trails, waterways and wildlife. Highly recommend.

Can you see the Blue Tailed Skink? Bottom middle. Swipe for a zoom in. This cute guy lives on this log and survives by hiding under the bark when a chicken comes around. I caught him sunning this morning when I went to give Becky her antibiotics.

I was trying to give Becky a little alone time with the feeder. She had to go to the vet today because she seems to have an inner ear infection. (See my last video for her dizzy and ear scratching symptoms.) Her alone time lasted about 30 seconds. Glo thinks she has rights and will not be denied!

Hey @chickendvm, can you tell me why Becky is so wobbly? She steps on her own feet and constantly wants to sit down. Can you see the calluses forming in her knees? Does she need vitamins? Maybe a thighmaster? Anyone else have any ideas? Also, at about 20 seconds when she steps on the #SilverGreyDorking? That’s awesome.
