Butts and Combs, Combs and Butts

Now those are some good lookin' clean chicken butts!

But these combs don't look so good to me.

Susie was a little bit too sassy today.  She had Dixie on the ground...on top of her...pecking away.  So she is spending a little time out in the run all alone while all the other girls are eating in front of her.  Hopefully she will learn her lesson.  My guess is that it is a lost cause because as Michael would say...'that's just how nature is.'

All I can say is that she better what she is doing around me or she might just end up in the chicken and noodles.

I Thought I Was On Top Of Everything

I've been watching everything about the animals in this cold weather.  The rabbits have gotten extra hay to burrow in and water changed about every two hours.  They seem to be fine.  But then some of the chickens have frostbite.

I have been reading all my chicken books and they all say that I need to cover the combs and waddles with some type of jelly.  All I have on hand is my Amish B&W Ointment.  I'm getting pretty good at catching them one at a time.  I am so glad we have a privacy fence because people would think I am crazy going around the backyard talking to and chasing chickens in my chicken suit.
