Week 15 was a “normal” week, but the fact that we are taking care of another person’s dog, makes it difficult to let the chickens roam free. I’m really getting annoyed with the dog because it is stopping me from enjoying my chickens and the new puppy. The lack of interaction between Hughey and the […]

This week marks 1/4th of the project through, big achievement. It was a “normal” week, but the fact that we are taking care of another person’s dog, makes it difficult to let the chickens roam free. I had a few minutes this weekend to enjoy the chickens and see them interact with Hughey. The Chickens […]

This week was a “normal”. We are dog-sitting (again) at the moment, and having the dog around makes it a bit difficult to take photos of chickens. We can’t (yet) let the dog and chickens around each other, because the dog is very energetic (a mix of two different herding breeds) and in all his […]

This week was a “normal”. But the girls were “naughty” and ate a seedling Dean had planted, and now they can’t stay out on their own. So they go out when I can chaperone them.

We are dog-sitting a lovely dog, but he’s too excited, which means we couldn’t get the chickens and the dog in the same backyard at the same time. More below.

Almost didn’t post this week, as it has been a very complicated one. In the end, things got pulled together and I was able to get a few shots today. The Chickens The chickens in the kitchen have become a nuisance. They didn’t stay in the pen anymore, pooping everywhere and Dean didn’t finish building […]

This week was action week: I proposed to take photos of the chickens in action! I am proud to say that most of them did stick to the theme, but there was one that was a resting action (explained below). In trying to capture movement in their daily play, they can be quite unpredictable, making […]

So, I was looking at the Chicken (6 of 52) post, from my 52 Weeks of Chickens – 2nd Generation and I noticed that I had a very similar post from the original 52 Weeks of Chickens. Sophia was my muse for that photo, but the look of curiosity is there in both. Below is […]
View Article This week was a normal week, in the sense that there was no theme for me to stick to. With that, I was able to take a lot more photos, which also made it a lot more difficult to choose. Once more, I’m starting to think that one of them is a cockerel. As much […]

As I progress in the project 52 Weeks of Chickens – 2nd Generation, I have come to the conclusion that the idea of a “Detail Week” was horrible. This is true especially because they are so young and cannot sit still. Because of the challenges of taking the photos, this week was not very fruitful […]
