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.

My blue heelers both sleep (and play) like that. They both love being in their backs…
Mr pink is a very special chicken and needs lots of love. Good news about Daisy small steps one day at s time
I’m convinced Mr Pink is a Black Pekin, maybe a bantam if s(he) is smaller than the others? If true, she’ll be gentle and friendly, a barnyard character.
I love Mr. Pink!!! Wish we had one of him around here….
Or should I say she?
Both my dogs sleep like Blue. We call it “dead bug” when they do as that is just what they remind me of! LOL.
Mr Pink looks like a Bantam to me – not sure which type. I am so pleased Daisy is getting better. Happy Sunday on the farmy. Laura
We had a Cochin Bantam who looked like Mr. Pink. We called her Polita, then changed the name to Polito, when it turned out she was a he! He was sweet and quiet, a “second rooster” to the one we called “Dot” who turned out to be “Danny”. With two roosters in the house, it was funny how each one had a different crow, and you could tell who it was without even seeing!
I’m crossing my fingers for Daisy, hoping she be well soon. I’m back home but I think we might have a chicken like that on the farm in Germany.
Maybe your Mr Pink is going to be a Big Gal like our Big Fella – he has feathery chaps if you remember!

Wonderful images today, like always. Mr. Pink is so cute. Her little feathery feet look so soft. Boo is well, Boo. 🙂 I’m so glad Daisy is eating again, I know you are worried about her as we all are. Hoping, hoping, hoping for her recovery. I’ve said it before, but Aunty Del is such a beautiful creature and she has filled out so much since last we saw her. Your flowers look so pretty. With 100 degree days here and water restrictions in place, my plants have hunkered down into survival mode and look a little wan. We need rain badly. Have a good Sunday, C. Hugs to you and all the critters.
mr pinklooks like cochin bantam, they are good setters and good with chicks, very calm . i have one that is close to 10 yrs old. has raised many broods of chickens and guineas. the really funky ones are the frizzel cochins, look like got a electric shock, feathers stick up in every direction
For the first time in my life, I saw a chicken with furry/feathery feet…just yesterday! I didn’t think to look at the type. I believe it was black as well. I’m in France…is she a French chicken peut-etre? So good to see Daisy in the field.
Just looked up Cochin Bantams. Apparently, they are very sweet birds. I bet that’s what she is.
Oh she’s very cute, I looked up Cochin bantams too. Pretty feet! Dothe people who “supplied” her know?
Yes, my border collie Blackjack used to lie like that. I loved to study his upside down mouth. Endlessly fascinating to me.
Poor Daisy! She’s just got to get better.
You love the insides of mouths, don’t you, they are rather fascinating.. c
I think maybe a Cochin, too. Our rooster, Boots, looked like that as a chick. Soft, fluffy feathers and very gentle. Maybe a bantam. Glad Daisy is doing better….seems to be a cycle with her.
