Well on a very sad note we recently lost our big girl Rambo. She was a lovely Buff Orpington Hen. She layed many eggs for us and gave us lots of love and laughs. She was a big fluff ball of love with lots of personality and little fear. We truly miss her. She was part of the family and will never be forgotten. We had a funeral for her last week. She is buried under a Hydrangea in the back yard behind the chicken run.
As one life ends another begins though. We could not leave our last chicken standing, Merdle, alone. We now have an array of chickens. We have two new chicks. A Light Brahma, Bianca and a Buff Orpington, Rocky (sticky with the Sly Stalone theme). We also have a 8 week old pullet named Opal. She is a Cuckoo Maran. She is a darling loving bird. The little chicks crawl under her wings as if she is there mother. Bianca chirps and chirps if Opal is out of her site. Rocky seems bold and curious like Rambo was. Opal is very happy falling asleep on our laps as we watch tv. She'll even fall asleep on her back if we flip her over to rub her belly. She was a true score. In the pictures the fluffy footed chick is Bianca. Enjoy.
