Beakless but still eating: our feathered friend is one tough clucker
Well, cluck me sideways, a chicken with no beak but still chowing down like it's business as usual? That's one tough clucker. Our feathered friend here is missing its entire beak, yet it's still eating, which is both egg-citing and slightly horrifying. What could have caused this fowl play? Predator attack, a freak accident, or maybe a squabble with the rooster? Hard to say, but the fact it's eating is a good sign. It shares a pen with two goats who think they're chickens, four ducks, and a whole flock of others, so there's no shortage of chaos.
This silky little mix is pure egg-citing cuteness, no fowl play.
Well, look at that little bearded puffball! This tiny mix hatched a couple weeks ago and got the absolute best parenting gig in the coop: a Silky mama raised her. I mean, could there be a fluffier, more ridiculous combo? She's all wispy beard and baby fuzz, and honestly, she's the perfect cure for anyone needing a quick chicken-induced smile. There's something so endearing about a Silky-raised chick; they get that extra dose of maternal weirdness, and it shows. If you're in need of a feathered pick-me-up, this one's got you covered. And hey, if you're hooked on chick cuteness, our piece on "Chickens Got Her Good! A Backyard Poultry Adventure" is a fine follow-up for your daily cluck of joy.
