The darling boyfriend sent me this link from Huffington Post- 

Apparently, Silkie chickens are ALL the rage this season. Perfect dream pets! Were all feeling so stylish now....





Gotta laugh, gotta smile! Reina has been feeling the star power & loving on the Silkies lately, too.

When it comes to chickens, I am fascinated.
  
People who have known me for a while have learned to tolerate my OCD (obsessive chicken disorder) or just ignore it all together-- trying to get me to focus on other subjects, like work, current events, or where to go to dinner. 
Meh. 

I know those things are kinda important, but sometimes I just want to see photos of cute chickens!!! Especially happy chickens.

And, I also like to hear when humans are happy, too.

I received these pics the other day from a very cool lady who had purchased chicklets last year. I remember when she came to visit, and got some very precious little chickies, but never could have imagined she would become such a fabulous friend & chicken mommy! Yay!


She wanted to give me an update & share the love, which I greatly appreciate. Blessings!!


These photos are ADORABLE!!!!! 


I recommend you look at these pics at least every hour for instant happiness. 

I just can't seem to let go of the littlest chicklets. I want to keep them pristine, sweet & beautiful forever!!  I know it can't compare to actual parenthood, but I am still trying my best to protect them from the elements for as long as I can. Scary things like rain, wind, mud... they are so trusting and adorable. All they want to do is snuggle. So I set up their mini condo outside, yet protected from the rain. I can see them, they are safe, and it's a temporary solution. 
I think I have until Daylight Savings before the darling boyfriend tells me ENOUGH. He has been so tolerant & changed the sprinkler system settings so cutie-pie baby chicks don't get sprayed at 3am. 

The big chickens are well adjusted & used to being outside. Laying like crazy, broody all the time. Yet they still squak! at the geese flying by in the mornings, bok! at the big dogs on their rounds, all in a days work I guess . Today they are in the courtyard weeding...one day these little fluffers will be there "on the job", too. 

Mother hen has been watching the new littles and sent me the cutest photos along with updates on their progress. 


They are learning so much!! Look at Pearl...so polite. 

 

Ive been fighting a cold. Or allergies.
 
Stuffy, sniffly, and icky.


So, this is January.
