Working on some chicken variations. Might be a little while till I get them in the shop, but if you have chicken breeds you desire let me know. It’s hard with my color palette, but I’ll try my darndest.
I wanted to add some new hens to our flock this year. I just placed an order to a hatchery in Iowa. In order to get the breeds of chicks I want simultaneously, we have to wait for a delivery of about June 4th. The chicks that will be arriving by mail are two American breeds; Delaware and Silver Laced Wyandotte, and an English breed, the Speckled Sussex.
I lost another chicken today. Oreo’s health had gone downhill for a few weeks now. I thought it was the chronic fungal infection she’d get, but she never got better even with treatment. I’m thinking she may have developed cancer. There was nothing I could do for her.
Oreo was my two and half year old Silver-laced Wyandotte. Her feather pattern was so pretty. She didn’t let us hold her, but she would come up behind me and peck my back when I sat on the ground. She enjoyed the corner perch in the chicken yard. Her and our silkie,Puffy, had some kind of rivalry. Her last good day was Saturday. She walked around the yard all day and free-ranged when she had the energy. RIP Oreo 🖤🤍
