Dixie Joins The Molt

Poor Dixie.  She hides in the nesting box.  I think these two are having an issue with their internal clocks.  Why would you have a molt in the middle of winter?

I think this is the best that EffieGrace is going to look until her next molt.  I am giving her extra everything to help those feathers pop out and come back to their full glory.  Nothing is working.  Mother Nature is at a standstill.

Playing In The Rain

EffieGrace and Keithetta Renetta having a little discussion...probably about what happened to EG.  And looks like someone has poopie butt.

Esthelle looking like she is on to something.

Ethel looking for Chickie Pa and his treats.  Just standing in the rain looking up trying to figure it all out.

Dixie running around like a crazy chicken.

Crispy checking out the camera.

RayJeana looking not so happy about something.

This is he dirtiest chicken on the farm.  her face and head are always covered in something.

I think Judy is stretching to see if she can be as tall as the big girls.

 

 

She's A Real Sweetheart

I'm thinking she might be Pappy's favorite.  Dixie has always been a lover.

The Best Layer On The Farm

I got an old ladder from a yard sale and the girls sometimes use it as a roost.  Well, if we put them up on it they do.

This is her Skinny Minnie pose.

So my tail feathers make me look fat?

Looking for tasty bugs to eat.

She Came With A Name

Unless we have the Golden Comet and the Dixie Rainbow mixed up, this is our Dixie.  I have never heard of a Dixie Rainbow chicken.  And I really can't find too much about the breed.  All I know for sure is that this chicken is the queen in the Little Girls coop.  Because she is our consistent egg layer.

 

She is really friendly and will eat anything that is not nailed down!

 She loves Luke.  Or maybe I should say that Luke loves her because she is so easy to catch.

 

I caught her on the nesting box yesterday morning.
