Wesley's birthday photos

He opted for school picture this year so these were taken during our family photos. What I love about Wesley, he is very independent, stubborn in a good way, and he does everything that he can do by himself for himself. We do not ask him if he needs help if we see him struggling to do something, he will ask you when he gives up. He is a good boy and follow all rules to the best of his understanding. He love to hike and takes us on adventures where ever we are and there is open space. I love that he is self entertaining, Legos, playing games and watching Netflix are some of the ways he entertains himself. I love that he likes being an uncle, he takes care of Max. He loves his brothers and sisters. I am thankful for Wesley, I have gained a lot of patience being his mother and helping him learn and grow.

Our late chickens

Lucy the Red Star, died of natural cause of old age. We will miss her. She had the best personality!

Roni the Rhode Island Red-She was eaten, she would not stop eating eggs, we tried many things to stop her but in the end she was eating 3 eggs a day so we ate her.

Sophie the Red Star- She was egg bound, we tried to save her in vain.

Phil the Faverolle-Her death is still a mystery.

Blackbird the Black Australorp-She was injured and then several other chicken pecked out her flesh around the injury. We separated her and she eventually healed but did not walk very good. She spent most of her time just sitting in the lay box. She was put out of her misery.

Pickles the Barred Rock-She seemed to have some kind of a stroke, she stood for many hours in the same place and stared off into space. She would not eat and only drank for my husband. After a week she was kindly put out of her misery.

Willow, the Leghorn, is no more, she got in the dog pen and was played with to death.

Chicken who stopped by

Mabel the Mottled Java- She came to us from a neighbor, she would allow their other chicken in the coop. She was at the bottom of our pecking order until the new chickens arrived. She would hop the 3 foot fence and not allow the new chickens to eat their own food. She moved to the Jenie Hansen coop in West Haven! She does well there.

Ruby and Rhoda the Rhode Island Reds- Bought from a neighbor. They pecked the flesh out of Blackbird and were aggressive with several of the other hens. They found a new home with a daughter's friend. They do better there at the bottom of the pecking order.
