Lady Elaine and the Chicken Diaper experience
Yes, indoor diapers for chickens is a thing. We’ve gotten a few in a variety of sizes to try them out and see what they are like. This #motherclucker has to do more research about putting clothes on chickens. Somehow I don’t think we are doing it right…looks awkward at…
How much do we weigh?
Melba the cuckoo maran rooster, tops the scale of our chicken flock weighing in at 3# .9 ounces. Compare that to Ebitz at a 1# .3oz, and Little big Bird at 2.0 ounces, and Tiny, our tiniest bantam weighing .7 ounces (smaller than a 1 ounce silver coin). That’s pretty…
Brown Leghorns? Americana? Starlink Green Egger? Marvin/Melvin and maybe Big Bird?

Asian Black Chickens
We have some fun personalities in this group! We have a snow white, all black with white tips on the wings. One with only one white tip (still to be named) and one with no white at all – which would be the infamous KayKay!
Esther – a possible Amberlink?
Esther fits the description of the amberlink – but we’ve been thinking isa brown. She is just so unique, I’m wondering if it’s possible? Amberlink: This graceful white and amber colored sex link can lay eggs like no one’s business, even in the cold dark winters. It is derived from…
