Chickens and Ducks

I have not shared any pictures of our chickens recently.  First up are the buff cochins.  One of the roosters is very chatty.  When he sees us, he makes fast chirping sounds.

These are the Mille Fleurs.



Next is Elizabeth, a Belgium quail bantam.

This is her mate, Theodore.  Elizabeth and he have a hanging perch in their pen, and they love to swing.  They stretch their necks out to get it moving.  It is quite a sight.

Andre the Giant is a gray cochin.  He looks huge but is really mostly feathers.

Pierre is a cochin also.  We will be putting him in the Partridge cochins when they are bigger.

Shaggy is keeping a watchful eye on me and is quite protective of Daphne and Velma.

Foghorn is a Leghorn.  He looks imposing but is a sweetie.

We had four ducks but sadly one passed away.  We are hoping to have some baby ducks soon.  In the meantime, these three keep us entertained.

This is Marigold.  Her penmates were quite mean to her.  Marigold now roams wherever she pleases.  She can go into the main areas of the chicken house or can go out the back with the ducks.  Here she has access to grass and lots of fresh air.  I like to think that Marigold is having the last laugh.
