I'm averaging one bantam egg a day! Only 2 of my little girls are laying and the rest are on winter break.

And then there was one... I've lost my special girl Bitchy. This morning she was grumbling at me to hurry up and lift her down from her perch like she always did. This evening I found her laying down like she just went to sleep. Bitchy was 8..a great age for a chicken, I know. But she was so tough I...

Mmmmmmmmmmmm
I could be in the neighborhood if I left now
Have a great time. Sounds delish!

That's all of them! I did this because people often ask me what this breed is like and I have a hard time answering because they are so different from one another. They were all raised here except Sherman but their personalities are as varied as ours.

20191019_132623.jpg The fact that I hardly had any photos to choose from for Lulu says it all. She does not like people and she prefers to go unnoticed. She pecks me if I manage to grab her but she knows that i am also the treat giver so she gets close enough to get her share and I finally have her...

20190904_183735.jpg Pearl is lowest in the pecking order among the 8 that were raised together. She is a big girl but gets picked on and I always wondered if it was because she's the only white one. She's a quiet girl but she picks on Teeny badly. I think because Teeny is the only one lower than he...

20190824_214522.jpg Honey is the chick that I had to help hatch. You would think she would be grateful but she hates me. She screams if I pick her up. She is the alarm clock of the coop. She lets everyone know when I'm coming to open the doors in the morning. She LOVES Sherman and Sherman loves her...

20190819_152122.jpg Gracie is the pretty, spoiled girl of the group. She demands that the roosters cater to her and she picks on a couple of the other girls but mostly Teeny. She's one of the tiniest of the girls and one of the noisiest. She likes to hang out with Sherman when she gets the chance b...

20190908_121118.jpg Frankie is the biggest of all of my OEGB. She used to be standoffish but she discovered that its warm in my coat and she needs to be nice to me go get in there so she changed her tune. Frankie gets along with everyone. She was my worst and most determined broody last summer and ...

20190930_165804.jpg Pebbles is a poop disturber. She is jealous of Teeny and is always trying to get to me before her. She will also challenge her mother at every opportunity. Pebbles went broody twice this past summer. Pebbles does not like Spanky. I've seen her pecking him to get away from her. S...
