Camera In The Coop!!!

You lookin' at me?

Maran and Wellsummer both about 10 weeks old. They lay the beautiful dark chocolate colored eggs, or they will after puberty!

Very broody! ( Don't even be taking my eggs fool or I will peck you!!)

My Malaysian Serama, White Silkie Bantam (BFF...hehehehe) and a Plymouth Rock.

Plymouth Rock egg, Silkie Bantam egg and the Malaysian Serama egg. (Followed by an inedible penny..hehehe!)

A good size comparision of the hens.

 Silkie Bantam  with her best buddy the Malaysian Serama. I love the wings and tail of the Seramas!!!

Chicken In Hiding and Penny Eggs!

Yesterday, while working in the yard, I was nearly attacked by a Silkie Bantam!

After rooting around the back end of my compost, I discovered my Silkie had moved out of the pen and had taken herself a deluxe one-nest apartment next to an all-you-can-eat buffet (also known as the compost pile).

 Now, I had been wondering why my Silkie Bantam had stopped producing eggs. The little sneak wanted to hatch a brood! All in all, we found ten eggs. I chose my son to kick her off to bring in the eggs.

This morning, on the way to the coop to let the ladies out, my Malaysian Serama was just a-hollerin'. For being pint-sized, she sure does have a howl. She's the second loudest in my flock (the loudest being my Brahma Hen). She was so proud of herself, for she had laid her first egg ever! It's slightly larger than a penny, and I can't wait to do some Pysanky artwork on it. I wonder how many calories, maybe five? Haha!

Ladies And The Stud...

The first picture needs no explanation, he just hopes the girls leave him something to eat. Good dog! The little black lady in the bottom pic is a Malaysian Serama Hen and yes she is full size. (She looks like she needs heels or boots, don't you agree??) If you want to find out more about the Malaysian Serama look here. The rooster are gorgeous!

Malaysia Ayam Serama - or Chickens in my kitchen!

The babies are now teenagers and the pecking order is getting established! I think I may have one rooster in the crowd. I will be keeping a close eye on her/him! The sounds they make are different from any other chickens I have raised. They really sound more like a bird. I look forward to seeing them full grown!
