I haz new chickens!

[tripperfunster]

Wow, I'm sooo cool, I know that my whole flist is squirming with envy, but I went out and bought some new chickens on Saturday! I belong to a group of amazingly kewl people who breed exotic poultry, and every year they have a big sale, and damnnit! I had to buy me some!

I think I now own waaay more roosters than any one person should. Rooster + Rooster does not equal chicken slash, it equals feathery bitch slapping in the barn yard, people! It also equals a whole lotta crowing in the morning (and day and evening).

Oh well, on to the pics of mah new birdz!!! Image heavy, so be warned. There is also a pic of my new bunny rabbit and my piggy and my barn cat.






Okay, these guys are called 'Frizzles' (de shizzle) and they are soo freakin' stoopid looking that they should not be allowed to live. I don't know if it shows up in the pic, but they look like those old style bathing caps that old ladies wear at public pools. Too funneh!



This boy did not want his pic taken. He's sooo purty, that I think I'll name him Lockheart. He's a Leghorn, btw.



This boy (and his girlfriend) seem to prefer to roost UNDER MY KID'S WINDOW thank you very much. Hubby locked them in the barn for the night. I forget what kind he is, Plymoth Rock or something like that.


This dood is a Jersey Giant. Super Friendly. We've had him for a while now, and we call him Fee and his girlfriend Fi. (as in Fee Fi Fo Fum)...giant...get it??


We take a break from our regularly scheduled chickens to bring you NORBERT the rabbit. He's a new addition and soo cute! I've never owned a bunny before. He lives in one of the chicken coops and really enjoys scaring the crap out of the chickens, by chasing them around.



These are the ones that he scares the crap out of lives with. "Up" and "the girls".

This is our barn cat 'Big'. No. I did not name her, and no, she is not big. (I also did not name "Up."



"Toopy" A polish crested, who some Rooster has plucked. Ah, chicken sex, you gotta love it!


And finally (before I crash your computer with too many images) here's Hogrid. I tried to get a flattering picture of him, but erm...I don't think he has one! He's such a sweet, honey ham, and loves his belly rubs! There's lots of other guys in the barn too, but we'll leave them for another day! :D

*is very impressed* I love birds but I have been given to understand that chickens are a whole lot of work...

WOW bunnies and pigs too.

I'll stop now or I might find myself squeeing next, and we can't have that.

Nope, the chickens aren't much work at all. They live in the barn and/or they run all over the yard, so as long as they're fed and watered, theyre's not much else to do. We also have goats and a couple of miniature horses, and those guys, you have to clean up after! :D
