Willie the chicken died on June 14, 2018 from injuries sustained in a dog attack; she was 9 years old

MAIN DOLL:

SIERRADANE

Willie says: It's not my fault I was born so beautiful.  Not my fault those other chickens have to stand out on that porch in the freezing temps. (that's my mom sitting in her HoveRound chair with Willie finishing up her sun bath)

My baby, my daughter Deanie 2010-feb 7 2016

The end of 2015 brought two chicken pa$$ings. Siobahn was a victim of a predator while Timmy the Hen who was 5 years old, died of a respirtory issues.

April 2015:

Jane Louise was born this month. Being an "only child," none of the other chickens liked her so she is now sleeping in my mother's house and has adopted my mother as the one she likes the best. One of Jane's characteristic traits is to raise her leg UP when trying to get DOWN.

May 12 2015 chick update:

My daughter came for mother's day (without her baby, which made me disappointed) and she wanted to know if she could have Oliver, the little crippled chick that had been born on St. Patrick's day.  I of course told her that maybe it was best she took it home and cried. I asked her to NOT tell me if it died, but if it thrived... to let me know. In the long run, giving it to her was probably for the best; no matter the outcome.

The other chicks: Paddy, Molly, Liam, Siobahn and Riley are doing pretty good. They were in a pen by themselves today while no one was home.

RIP Charlie

Stormy & Frosty:

While Rainy loves, loves, loves to pose for me to take his picture, Frosty is camera shy so I don't get as many of her.  Her comb is still pretty small which is a good indicater that this little frozen surprise will be a hen.

Rainy looks like he's saying, "You can do it Mommy, you can lay that egg... I'm here for you"

The Chicken Mansion where the Silver Sebrights live

Inside the Chicken Mansion:

Henny and Willie (the hen) both Silver Sebrights. Henny gave Willie up about this time then she was killed by a predator. Willie tried to sleep in the chicken mansion but no one liked her so she adopted me as her mother. She now sleeps in a box with her adopted daughter Deanie, in my mother's dining room. They will move to my house at Christmas and stay til March. I hope we can build Willie a house for her and her babies, Sammie and Deanie who are Americaunas.
