Earl thinks she is a house chicken.
Am starting to question this open door policy we have around here regarding the animals.
Susan Dear Susan has blown out her knee, and has been lightening her load. In an effort to do our part, we took on some more of her banties, and the most recent batch of eggs to hatch.
In the banty mix was Earl. Jethro named her. We tried to talk him into at least calling her Earlene, but no dice. Jethro and Earl have become fast friends. The stupid chicken follows him around EVERYWHERE, including into the house. Jealous Jewels is none too impressed. This is the most socialized chicken i have ever seen, even more so than the beloved Angus.
(What is it with us and the chicken names? Angus and Earl are hens, Misty is a rooster.)
Earl appears to be a natural talent, taking to the "Chicken Hat" trick like a duck to water.
And then, if that wasn't enough to give Jewels apoplexy, there are six chicks in the laundry room. These are the only chicks from PaddyMolly and O'Malley.
O'Malley will be headed this way as soon as someone can catch him, but PaddyMolly (the cutest, sweetest banty ever) met an untimely demise, so these are very special chicks.
HMmmmmm....Tastes like chicken.

Actually there might be a little Guiness in there as well....but you know that O'Malley sure gets around! By the way, the last egg hatched so there's another waiting for you when you get this way again.
