Hello from Chicken Paradise Hawaii! Today we’re bringing you the farm in the evening. Hello, Madara! Is it getting dark? At this time of day everyone climbs up somewhere high to get ready for bed. Chickens like to sleep up high, where it’s safe, and each bird more or less has its own spot.
A newcomer who eats everything
Here’s a new rooster. He eats absolutely anything, so the person who rescued him named him Dyson, after the famous vacuum cleaner. He’s a fighting-breed rooster, but apparently he didn’t grow up well and was abandoned.
When our farmer brought him some food, lots of other chickens came running too — Suzume included. Chickens are funny: there’s plenty of food elsewhere, but anything held in a hand looks extra delicious. Even the guinea fowl came over. Up above, Cho was already settling in for the night, while Hachimitsu, as always, took her time.
The ducklings are all grown up
Our ducklings aren’t fluffy anymore — they’re big! The white one is actually the fluffy yellow duckling our farmer held in a Short. We thought it was a girl, but it turned out to be a boy, and he’s much bigger than the others. The other two are girls.
When our farmer came with extra dinner, a pair of yellow-legged sisters pushed right in. Their mother is a fierce wild hen, and these two are just as tough. Tamamushi came for food too.
Pigeons, chicks and bedtime
Happy the pigeon is as glossy as ever. Happy wears a leg band and belonged to someone who keeps racing pigeons, but got out while still too young to leave the loft and fell to the ground. Our farmer picked the bird up and raised it, and since the owner never came, Happy stayed here.
Some of our young chicks were caught at the request of a church. Anyone can walk into the church garden, and children sometimes came to play pranks, so the bird-loving people there asked us to take them in. Good for you, little ones!
Monarch somehow lives in the little ones’ room, even though she’s extra large — though apparently she’s mostly feathers. She was all muddy before, but she’s clean again now. The sky is turning pink. Some chickens sleep outside the building and some inside — when it rains, inside is better!
Thanks for spending the evening with us at Chicken Paradise Hawaii. See you next time!
