The Famous Chicken Alfalfa in the House
Named for her fabulous hair do of course. I still cannot believe that one feather has never moulted off.
Trying to show her 'one feather'. Why the hell am I using a white background?
And yes, she was really in the house...
I See A Helper
Kiedis is learning how to put away the dishes, and today he took it upon himself to re-organize the pots and pans cabinet. Talk about self motivation, I was impressed. Afterwards he built a fort for him and Stryder to play in. Stryder was gone to a birthday party and it was really sweet to see how much Kiedis missed him.
He even made a card for Stryder for when he got back home, talk about Brotherly Love. They are 14 months apart in birth, and best friends. I actually can't believe how well they get along considering how much time they spend together, my brothers and I fought like cats and dogs!
I See All Kinds of Weather
Hail
A flurry in the afternoon.
And some sunny patches, great for chicken catches. (Above: Eddie with Hercules)
Buddy Scissorbeak with Dawn King behind her. Both ladies looking fabulous today if I do say so myself. Strut your stuff girls.
James Bond looking dashing by that mossy rock.
I See Some Beautiful Cockerels
Peter Parker with his mini lion's mane, colours just do die for. He got his butt whooped by his Dad, Mr. Pendock yesterday. It was really really sad because Peter doesn't hurt no one and Mr. Pendock made him bleed!
Touch my #chickenbitchez and pay the price. Parker knew the rules before he played with the big boys. -Mr. Pendock (The Villain!)
Big Smokie didn't try and help Peter Parker, he just stood by feeling so relieved that Mr. Pendock's wrath was focussed on someone else for a change. What a coward. I shouldn't call him that though, it's just the nature of abuse. Smokie has been victimized by Mr. Pendock since he was old enough to mate, we can't blame him for being weak.
I See Stryder is Home
With some pretty interesting party favours from the birthday...
More Flurries In the Early Evening
Spring Break in Nova Scotia...

Meester Pendock wasa workina ona my instruction, capishe?!

Don Poltryoni - Loan Shark and Chicketta Family Patriach
Ahhhh thanks for letting me know Don, it makes sense, Parker always had a gambling problem...
Nice clicks. Chickens are looking good as usual.
Alfalfa is a good name.
Oh my, those boys remind me so much of choen and benny <3 same age difference. I hope they have the same love for each other as your boys <3
Poor Peter Parker:( Mr. Hendrix attacked Gerald the other day and it made me feel so bad for him. Such bossy Roo's!! <3
Awww, Benny and Choen will get along this good, it may be easier because they are boys xoxoxo
It's hard to not step in with the animals hey???
Boys do have strong bonds <3 <3 <3
Ya, it's so hard! I know you are supposed to leave it alone so they can sort the pecking order but sometimes they are the biggest jerks!! I've broken up fights...they get scary sometimes!!
Poor Peter Parker! Taking abuse from his father no less! You have a problem, Lyndsay! You either have too many roosters or not enough hens! Time for more?
We are planning on hatching Silkies very soon here, yes we will have more hens soon, but looks like nature took over because little Parker didn't live through the night. :'( :'( He was just too little to be able to handle the fight. Something internal must have been damaged because his head, wings and legs were fine...
Awww! I am so sorry to hear that, Lyndsay. He was a favourite. May he rest in peace.
Wow!Excellent photography.You are really creative photographer. Please stay with photography. how the beautiful natural view is! Very color full also
Good morning,,,
Looks like you could be having Mr. Pendock BBQ soon. The snow looks beautiful, especially against the thought of sun. I can almost see it peeking through.
.....pendock bbq, do u really think so?! 😰
There was definitely talk about that, Eddie especially is very protective of little Peter Parker. But we are attached to them all so probably no bbq lol :)
At some point you may have to choose between which one you'll lose if Mr Pendock keeps being a meany face. Although from an evolution standpoint, you'll probably want to let them alone and the winner gets to live. Then your chickens will theoretically have stronger progeny. I'm not an animal biologist though... I only play one on television. :)
Ah man you guys really remind me of my family .. we're always bringing our animals and chickens into the house! Last night we had a guinea pig having a haircut! the week before it was a sick duck .. and I've lost count of the amount of abandoned chicks we've raised by hand. Alas you put us to shame on the baking front .. but we're working on that! :D
Awwwww, how did I not know that you have a bunch of farm animals???? I knew about your cute DOGE but ducks and guinea pigs...and chicks.... Oh My!!!
I've been away from my Steemit feed for a few weeks and this post was one of the first to come up today. Nice to see chickens given the dignity of names. Peace.
How are they surviving in this cold weather? :o
it is awesome.
Building forts was my favourite pastime too. Glad to see kids still doing it. 💜
Post #seewhatisee perfect @lynsaybowes thank you for sharing.
Awwww....... I was so touched by this one. Brotherly love indeed, I can feel the bonding so strong, it's beautiful. I had that bonding with my sister Juliet before she passed on and I miss her so much.
James bond is so regal looking, I think I am meeting him for the first time.
I'm hope the weather is looking up over there? Hahaha. Here in the tropics, it is so so hurt and we eagerly await the rain.
Thank you dear for sharing.
Ooh I've never heard you mention Juliet before, I am so sorry that you lost her :'( :'( :'(
I hope you get that much needed rain soon Sister!!
Thank you so much sis, I really appreciate your concern. And yes it did eventually rain a day ago.
Sorry for the late reply, demands of work.
Hmmm.... So glad you continue to create quality and interesting contents. I am so proud of you ma.
During Spring break do you get all the goodies if Spring of just something in-between? The chickens are doing so well.
I want to appreciate you for all the goodwill messages to me through @edith4angelseu. I am stronger now, I really missed you. Thank you so much ma.
I'm glad hearing that you are feeling stronger now, are you home then?
Yes I am home now. Thank you ma.
The chickiesss always lookin so gooood ♡♡♡
That's so cute about Kiedis and Stryder, making a card for him? That's so beautiful. I love it ♡
Kiedis is just too sweet and thoughtful hey? Melted my damn heart...
Sibling love <3 The sweetest.
@lyndsaybowes, Beautiful rooster come to platform. Welcome one feather. Another foggy day I saw with droplets falling. Most of springs there in Nova Scotia.
Whole chicken family came yo steemit platform via your blog. See y'll. Mr.Pendock take care your self. Peter Parker handsome very closely with his colors. Thank you for shared. Stay Blessed.
Could you see her one feather sticking up on top of her head?
Heyyyyy Momma 💖💙💜
Great to see you here in my feed! That's always a fun treat. Alfalfa. What a cute little flocker!! Love your sweet kiddos too. It's fun to see what you see.
Hope you're doing great 🦋
Heyyyyyy Sis, yeah almost midnight here, good to see you too <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 I'm glad I stayed up late!!
Wow Dawn King is so FLUFFY! Poor Peter and Smokie! Pendock the Jock is like the villain in a 1980s teenage movie. Was Alfalfa in the house for fun or was she unwell?
Love to you and yours. What's the chicken equivalent of headbonks?
Alfalfa was just in chilling, no injuries thank goodness. Every once in a while Eddie will bring in a random chicken or roo to hang out for a bit and have a treat, no wonder they like him the best!
The equivalent to kitteh headbonk would probably be a little chicken wing flap. :) :) Or like the Punisher, a peck, that takes a chunk of your skull out.
LOL well okay flapflap at you and yours! The peck of doom is probably more like what I call "love nips," because yeah, Yuan will love nip. It's not an attack, it's affection, but don't fight it, because snatching your hand away can mean blood. Just go with it ...lol.
I love that Eddie randomly brings in chickens. This must be the secret to his chicken whisperer skills. I wonder what they think of the house? I read this tumblr thread about how humans must be like fae to animals: sometimes, we rescue them, sometimes, we spoil them with love, sometimes, we hunt and murder them. You never know if the fickle human is going to bless you with their magick powers and get you unstuck, or murder you and your family. Our technology being incomprehensible magick, of course. So those stories of wild animals asking humans for help or at least trusting them to do it, is like a human approaching a faerie mound and asking for the Gods' assistance. Maybe they'll help you, maybe they'll smite you, who knows? ¯\ _ (ツ) _ /¯
Alfalfa perhaps returned to the flock going, "YOU GUYS I WENT TO THE OTHERWORLD WHERE THE HUMAN LIVE!"
I love how you can get into the minds of the animals...I sense another book!!!
😂
I wish there was a way to get Mr. Pendock and Peter Parker to get along as well as your sons! We need to develop some kind of chicken therapy, but as you said he DID know the rules before he ventured into forbidden territory. Some lessons are harder to learn than others, I guess!
Yes! Hopefully the situation resolves itself. Peter is being pretty somber. Just standing around listlessly with his head and tail down. 4 roosters is a lot, even with 30 hens...sadly nature may be taking Parker out of the equation...
pity peter parker who was hurt by his father mr pendock. hope he does not do that again.
I really hope so too... :'( :'( :'(
nice chicken comrades, I also like the same chicken. good post friends. i upvote and resteem yes
