Oh dear. Apparently the word has spread, tonight I found one of the neighbors chickens, a very soggy black Silky hen huddled out in the pouring rain on my porch! She's recovering in a box with a hot mash right now

Thank you so much for your support and advice! Do you think I should add another chick for company? Or can a single chick survive..? (Not that I really NEED another chicken....lol)


I wrote that last night!

Since then, the other two chicks were brought to me, lol. Apparently that hen wasn't a great Mama. @BaaKaaawk my Chicken Math has gone off into addition and subtraction. We had one EE escape, so 45 Babies, plus my laying flock of 7, and now add the 3 parking lot chicks... Since I didn't choose them, they were rescued from a mob of hungry chicken. So.... oh wait! Plus my laying flocks "pet rooster", does he still count? He flew over the fence from the neighbors as well. Yep. I need a chicken calculator!

Do you know what breed the little chipmunk colored chicks are?
We had surprise hatch too this year, we thought we had lost a bantam hen. Last week I heard peeping under my house, and there was the hen with 15 chicks.

Oh dear! I'm guessing a purebred "parking lot" chicken! Part bantam-something, part Easter Egger, part..... tiny pretty chickens! The hen was a tiny thing, blackish-grey with a golden "garter" around her neck, poofy cheeks and a puff on her head. Rather like a mullet of feathers, without the "party in back" (just the poof)
The chicks are absolutely darling. One looks like a tiny Easter Egger, and the other two look like tiny, pretty bantams. Ii believe they hatched a week ago, today. Chichi
SO!!!

Is there anyone near Salem or Eugene, OR who would like to take these cuties home?? Please send me a m love them, but I need to find another home for them. They posed for this picture last night
