it's fancy time, people
I have no idea what kind of chicken that is. It's one of Tamine's crazy cross breeds from his jungle fowl stock. That hen with the blue face and white feathers sure is a looker. It's fancy time, people. Look at that bird and treat yourself to something nice. She would.I can't rest the night before a workshop. I'm so excited. I baked a giant cast-iron pan of apple pie from New York's finest, and a braided egg bread with butter and sugar crust the size of a basket ball. Tomorrow is all about chickens here at Cold Antler. The meals are chicken (eggy breakfast of bread, quiche, and pie) and a lunch of chicken tacos. There are 45 little chicks awaiting their future homes in the brooder and a houseful of new chicken owners coming to meet them. Jazz and Annie will camp out in the bedroom upstairs. They "like" chicken.
By like I mean eat.

I would think that's a silkie cross. The poofie feathers on it's head, the blue face, those are silkie traits. I've had some similar to it in the past. Silkies also have five toes.
I want to be there :( Have fun & eat lots of "chickeny" things for me if you'd please!
Lol...we knew what you meant by "like." :D This sounds like a wonderful workshop. Hope it's as fun as it sounds!
how do you keep your chickens safe from Jazz and Annie? I see the chickens free ranging all over the yard. Are J & A not allowed to free range? I'm about to get my first chickens and am worried about my dog.
ps it's not the border collie in my photo i'm concerned about-- my other mixed breed dog who's got a serious prey drive.
Wish I were there, I love a CAF workshop but I'm getting tons done in my little corner of the world.
Wish I could be there!!! Have lots of fun :)
Definitely a silkie cross as it has the black skin and partial crest.
My sibes are never outside off leash, ever. They just aren't that kind of dog. Gibson has never bothered chickens, its about their prey drive, and how they are raised/trained around them.
Looks like an Araucana to me. I was given six chicks recently and they now look very similar to this
Happy Easter! I'm about to enjoy a delicious nutritious breakfast of scramble eggs from the hens I got at your very first chicken workshop!
Here's a glimpse of our new flock, courtesy of yesterday's workshop: http://reachingfornonsense.wordpress.com/2012/04/08/meet-the-girls/
It was a great time. Thanks, Jenna!
