Speedy is a...

I found out today Speedy is a girl. I saw her pecking around a tree and Young Boy went up to and tried to mate with her. I'm yet to see a gay chicken so my guess is she's a girl. So that's the second time I've been wrong with the sex of my animals. I thought all along that Katcsa was a boy and Beaker was a girl. This photo was taken over New years and she is much larger than this now. Speedy will make a great mother when she ends up producing chickens as her mother
(not me, the real one) was a great hen. Very protective and often had a high number of chickens survive.

Last night the anaconda infiltrated our snake-proof fence Lucky for the chickens that we went over there and removed the snake from the pen. I had such a bad sleep as I was worried about the chickens all night. I went back over there at 1.30am and there were all sound asleep. Today we're going to go over the pen and fix up all the areas where they could get into.
