Mr Pink fascinates me, she has come out of her creep and is the gentlest little chicken I have ever known. And now that she gets food in her own little hidey hole she is growing very fast.
She likes to be stroked and is the perfect chicken for visiting children.
Did you see her feet though, she has pan pajamas and these wild feathery feet. I have no idea what kind of bird she is but I do hope she is a she.
Some one needs to boss this lot around!
Does your dog sleep like this?I have never had a dog who does this. 
Daisy has finally started eating again.Her condition is only slightly improved but I will take any improvement at all. Little chook steps. To get the muck out of the mastitis quarter I massage it down with a mixture of olive and oregano oil. My hands are looking wonderful and my muscles ache, but we are making small advances every time. 
Aunty Del is over her dehorning and back to her usual noisy self.
I hope you all have a lovely day.

Our dog does that pose all of the time. Don’t know what breed Mr. Pink is but she is cute. Have you ever written about how your animals get their names? Aunty Del? Mr. Pink?
I remember in my childhood that there was a great Aussie oarsman, Stuart Mackenzie, who won the Diamond Sculls at Henley 6 times….the point of this is that he was/is a chicken sexer which is what you’re looking for:)
Three cheers for the chooky steps Daisy is taking towards recovery. Our golden retriever used to sleep like Boo sometimes – total relaxation. I love the pictures of Mister Pink. You may have to rechristen him/her to Miss Pink. Jock has almost finished another chain – beech this time, and it’s three metres long! He’s a sucker for punishment.
Love,

I was thinking Mr.Pink might be a Black Langshan, but as others have said, Cochin Bantam is also a big possibility 😉
Molly, my Springer, sleeps just like Boo! Always has, even as a puppy. Good evening, c, the best of the day to the farmy!
Pug dogs sleep like that also; ultimate trust, joy,and openness; Boos is lives in his own personal Nirvana!
I’m wondering if Mr. pink might be a Silke chicken. We had white and black ones. Very pretty
Lots of dogs sleep like that but I was going to say maybe he’s been watching Marmalade too much – at least all my CATS sleep like that.
excellent!!. c
My Lab sleeps like that! I think it screams ‘lazy adolescent man child’ to me {In our Jack’s case anyhow 😉 }
And Mr Pink looks like a Bantam to me too. They make the best children’s/pet chooks. Such gentle souls! 🙂
Mr Pink is a lady for sure: just look at that gorgeous hipline from the back! Would go with her character also 🙂 ! Since dogs know their bellies to be their most vulnerable part, Boo’s sleeping position is one of complete trust in his surrounds . . . . all of mine seemed to adopt the lying on a side nose practically curved into tail position . . . . love the flower photo at the end – perhaps you feel just a tad more relaxed . . .
Mr. Pink does resemble a Bantam! I hope she is a she too, what a cutie pahtootie! Oh, I do love these daily photographs. They kind of set things right for my Sunday evening. Thank you sweet Celi!
I’m catching up. Spring birthing has happened here. Do take a look: http://seasonalinspiration.blogspot.co.nz/2014/08/eager-and-early.html
I’m exhausted now. Your animals are a delight and Aunty Dell is very handsome.
My giant Mudd, 140 lbs, sleeps like that and he scares the crap out of me 🙂
I love that little chicken (Bantam?) How the kids will love those pantaloons.
Molly sleeps like that – on the couch, under the fan. We thought it was just a Husky/Malamute thing or it was cooler with her thick double coat – none of our other dogs slept like that when grown
