Who's this?
It's Charlie! He lost the last long tail feather!
Now he looks just like a hen!
This is Laverne - she has really, really slowed down. I have to wash her butt every day because she sleeps laying down so darn much the poop clogs her vent. She always takes a good poopie after she's clean. She doesn't even run away when she sees me with the little bucket of soap and washcloth.
Charlie's neck feathers are really starting to come in now!
He's fun to tease because he is sooo cranky! The treat is being held just out of his reach!
(Makes up for all the times he has attacked the back of my leg!)
After treat time, Maude and Charlie sit on their branch....
... and Laverne goes into a nest box to take another nap:
:o)
Poor Charlie may have lost his last manly tail feather, but he still his manly crow. Sort of. :)
ReplyDeleteI'd rather his neck fluff grows in. I hear it's supposed to be a bitter Winter. :o(
DeleteHe'll probably have a thick feathered outfit on before the temp drops.
ReplyDeletePoor Laverne, hope her poop doesn't freeze on her then!
I sure hope he does - he usually only gets a little bit of frostbite on his wattles because of no feathers on his neck to keep them warm. If Laverne didn't sleep so much, it wouldn't be as matted. Oh, the joys of being a chicken butt wiper! :o)

ReplyDeleteDo you have a Powerwasher?
We do - but she doesn't like the noise. Kinda think she DOES like the special attention, though! :o)
DeleteFeathers, No Feathers...he can still crow! Go Charlie!! ; )
ReplyDeleteHe started at three o'clock this morning.... again! Thank heavens the a/c was on and he didn't seem too loud! (but he woke me up)!
DeleteCharlie is just trying to be trendy. Indeterminate sexual orientation. Maybe rainbow colored pants next?
ReplyDeleteIs he a 'Ze' or a "Ye" or a MURTCAL" (Mixed Up Rooster That Crows A Lot"? He knows his gender: Stud! :o)
