Gizmo is still struggling with wry neck but, like any lothario, he styles it out when a pretty girl is near. He and Crowley are so in love. #ChickenSky #AvianArmy #chickens #TeamCrowley #TeamGizmo #TeamCrowmo #TeamGizley

Crowley has discovered the fat chickens' run. It has things to sit on. It's hers now. #ChickenSky #AvianArmy #chickens #TeamCrowley

My favorite time of night is when I go out to close up the coop & say I love you to each of the girls by name through the little window & hear each of them answer in their sweet little voices. 🥹❤️😭

Morning!

Fall weather chickies #chickensofbsky

Castiel wants to go broody. I can't let her have babies because we're too close to winter, but can you imagine how cute her children would be!? Maybe in the spring, little one x #ChickenSky #AvianArmy #chickens #TeamCass

And then there were 16. Poor Rose passed away in her sleep last night. #AvianArmy

When Kirsty met Ben, it must be love @kirstyclinch.bsky.social

If Gizmo gets better, I can only assume he will continue to fake illness. He's liking this a lot #ChickenSky #AvianArmy #chickens #TeamGizmo

I still don't know if she's going to make it, but Rose is enjoying her basket, and her swelling isn't as hot today. #ChickenSky #AvianArmy #chickens #TeamRose

Rose has never been a hugger. Yesterday she asked to be picked up. I quickly realised why: she has a huge abdominal mass. Pray for my baby that the antibiotics work 💔 #ChickenSky #AvianArmy #chickens #TeamRose

In case you needed this.

This sweet dude is Natasha (we name them as chicks; Silkies are all but impossible to sex without DNA testing). He is one of two Silkies we raised this year. His lady is Yelena. They're absolutely adorable and I love his protectiveness over her. He's a genuine sweetie. #Chickens 🐓 #SmallFarmLife

The only reason I'm not letting her be a full time house hen is because she loves Gizmo. I couldn't separate true chickie love #AvianArmy #chickens #TeamCrowley #ChickenSky

Never not funny #AvianArmy #chickens #TeamPippin #TeamMithrandir #ChickenSky

Happy chickies are happy #AvianArmy #chickens #ChickenSky

Gizmo's new evening routine is barging into the kitchen for a snack and a hug #AvianArmy #chickens #TeamGizmo #ChickenSky

Bilbo was fascinated by the bags of fancy feed. He always knew he had model good looks. #AvianArmy #chickens #TeamBilbo #ChickenSky

Crowley lost so many feathers that it looks like a pillow fight happened in here. Between that and her eye, it made sense for her to sleep inside. I've missed having a feathered face to wake up to. #AvianArmy #chickens #TeamCrowley

Someone has pecked Crowley in the eye! She's recuperating in my office, dropping a million feathers, and encouraging me to take breaks. #AvianArmy #chickens #TeamCrowley #WickedestChookAlive

Killì is doing much better. She's hiding out of the rain, so i can't take a picture of her right now. This is a picture of her when her face was puffy, because everyone needs more Killì pictures ❤️ #AvianArmy #chickens #TeamKilli

If you want a friendly #chicken breed, try a #wyandotte. This Columbian Wyandotte is the sweetest hen I've ever known! #chickenkeeping #backyardchickens #raisingchickens #chickens #pets #farming #farmlife #homestead #homesteading

The food bowl is Mithrandir's happy place. She can even sleep in it! #AvianArmy #chickens #TeamPippin #TeamMithrandir

I have no idea what was happening here #CaptionContest #AvianArmy #chickens #TeamRimmer

Rimmer got her wish and is enjoying late night hugs #AvianArmy #chickens #TeamRimmer

I strongly suspect that Pippin and Mithrandir want to be house chickies #AvianArmy #chickens #TeamPippin #TeamMithrandir

On another note, my backyard chickens, aka the city girls, are doing great. This is Syrax.

Today is Frida’s day!!!!! She laid her first egg!!!!!! 🥹 She laid in the nest that she used to sleep in. They each have their own preferred nest so no fighting (hopefully!) … 😆😆😆🖤⭐️🐓

Edgar says goodnight.

Killì isn't well. Her face is all swollen. She's very much enjoying hug time with her human and milking it for all it's worth. #AvianArmy #chickens #TeamKilli

I apparently painted this hen eight years ago today. 🥲 Red hen. Watercolour, 105 x 148 mm. Prints, etc available. www.redbubble.com/shop/ap/2795...

Crowley's seat! Keep off! #AvianArmy #chickens #TeamCrowley

Roostin'

The chickens were eating all my sunflowers. 🌻 So were the ducks. 🦆 I even allowed it for hours. ⏳ But when told to stop - they gave absolutely no clucks. 🐓 #poultryinmotion #comedihen #mothercluckers #forthebirds #sofowl #garden #chickens #ducks #givenoclucks

Today's moment to stop and BREATHE. 💦 Hydrate 🧴Moisturize 🫁 Deep breaths 👂🏻 Enjoy the peace of a spoiled backyard flock 👀 At dat fluffy butt 😂 #Chickens #Birds #BackyardChickens #Chickensofbluesky #SmallFarmLife 🪶 🌱

Mister Kilmeister is about 100 in chicken years, but still isn't too old for a hug #AvianArmy #chickens #TeamKilli
