Everybody meet Curly Sue, our blue Orpington pullet. 💙
Beautiful isn't she?
Well, fun fact, she would also have been an immediate cull for 95% of other breeders.
Can you spot why?

📌 *Hint: Her namesake has something to do with it.
...............

If you guessed curled, crooked or bent toes, you're correct! 🔀

Curly Sue was in lockdown during, what would end up being, one of the hottest spontaneous heatwaves of 2025;
We lost hundreds of eggs due to them being boiled, as the incubators couldn't regulate their temps in week-long 45 degree freak weather. 💔

Somehow, Curly Sue made it out alive, but her little feet took the brunt of the temperature fluctuations.
We tried the stretches, the splints, the kinetic tape, the boots, but to no avail.
But she was happy & healthy & able to hold her own, so we decided to honour her sheer will & determination, & see how she progressed. 🤞🏼

As you can see by the photos, she progressed to the point of a perfectly proper puffball! 😂

Even though her feet are not a genetic defect, I have made the decision to not breed from Curly Sue.
I feel that her leg/foot strength *may* be a disadvantage for her come breeding season (as both of our Orpington boys are BIG in size), & she *may* not be able to either support herself, or get away safely from being mated with.

So instead, she will live out her days here on the farm, in our 'Show Pen', where the other girls we aren't breeding from are penned. 🩵

🫵🏼 Do you have a chicken in your flock who's a little different, unique, quirky, or would have been a cull to somebody else? 🐥

We'd love to see photos of them, & hear their story in the comments! 🥹

In just a few short months' time, I guarantee there is going to be an influx of 'Can someone please tell me if this is a roo?' posts exploding over the poultry forums. 🫣

We've taken the time to compile a little side-by-side visual aide, of various ages & breeds, to hopefully 🤞🏼 make things a little easier for you when determining the s*x of your feather friends. 🩵🐣🩷

One of our beautiful Rhode Island Red girls posing like the supermodel she is. 🤎❤️

RIR's are apparently reknown for being sassy, little bossy boots (our girls tick these boxes 😂), while the roosters don't really have the best reputation, being labelled as feisty or aggressive (hmm, yup 🫣).

If you have RIR's, what's your experience with them been like? 🤔

🙏🏼 Please tell me there's light at the end of the tunnel & they can be converted into being sweet natured, docile, lap-cuddlers. 😬

🤍 Cutie Patootie 🤍

Are anybody else's Call Ducks showing signs of a possible early breeding season? 😬
Our girls are already in their nesting boxes, primping + preening left, right 'n' centre, doing their little 'come here' head bobs to the boys, & the boys are ..... not even interested in the slightest! 😂😂😂

Anywho, whether they are big, small, lanky, tall, chunky, cheeky, & loved overall,
I'd love to see YOUR favourite little waterfowl in the comments section below;

🫒 Olive Egger Update 🫒

Look at how beautiful these babies are, now that they're out of their scraggly pre-teen stage. 😍

These guys were hatched from eggs purchased from:

•Kaleidescope Eggs
•Parris Bull @ Bellamy Farm
•Chicken Mad

And while I absolutely LOVE this little quad beyond words, it turns out that all the girls lay only brown-hued eggs, not olives.
😩🥴😅

Their offspring will hopefully result in having beautiful dark olive eggs, (crossing their brown hues with Rip's blue egg gene), but I REALLLLLY wanted olives specifically.

So, off I went to outsource MORE coloured eggs to build up our Olive Egger Pen for the '26/'27 season.🤞🏼

Our next lots of eggs, (which had a wide range of pinks, blues, teals, olives & lime green shells), are now between 2-6wks old, & were purchased from:

•Cluckleberry Poultry
•Agia Skepi Poultry
•TopLine Hatchery
•Belinda Burgess

Looking forward to seeing what coloured eggs these girls lay come Spring! 🌼
