New Ventures

There is no end to the services provided here at EIEIO.  My newest chicken residents are silkies by breed.  I have always loved their beautiful feathers, tufted heads and furry feet. I got three silkie chicks in the spring with two of them being roosters.  One chicken ranch does not need an abundance of roosters.....no place needs an abundance of males...period.  We were fortunate to be able to send one of the roosters to a neighboring farm leaving us with a pair.  It's been my goal to have a male and female of all our critters to procreate and save the world in case of flooding.  I may have to make an exception to my rule with Mr. Silkie.  If they had a chicken porn industry, this guy would be their leading cock...(sorry!) He chases Miss Silk-Worm around the pen, around the yard, around the patio till he can nail her about every 10 minutes.... I am not exaggerating!!  Listen, NO woman wants that... He has become abusive to the point of tearing her feathers from her back, grabbing her "crown" and yanking her head back!  She refuses to go into the pen at night (can't blame her) and hides when it's time to secure all and close the gate.  It's so bad that she has opted for sleeping outside surrounded by luring and hungry coyotes, weasels, hawks and owls. She will sleep on the stoops of our front or back doors in hopes that her humans will protect her.  We now have opened a shelter for abused hens in our garage.  She will have her own nesting box, food and water and an occasional snuggle with Lee....true story.... She was in the house with him the other night...."Isn't she cute?" "Yes dear, but remember she shits and has even less control over her sphincter muscle than you do!"   The end!
