Business Chicken

The young ones certainly took their time to start laying.

Hot Spare Chicken is having a really rough time with molting this year, she looked like hell this morning. I was concerned after the sudden death of the last two, so I ran her by the vet this morning.

Nothing wrong so far looks like, but they advised to keep her inside. So, well, Living Room Chicken it is, there in the carrier.

In retrospect that Great Dane-sized dog create I bought a few months back was a little much.

Business 2.0 is a Captain Chicken of Industry. Observe as she surveys her varied interests.

Sadly, the established legacy interests of the Backup Chickens are not playing ball, and really do not want her to get into the coop. Being a self-reliant type, she just sleeps on top of it.

They are so incredibly cute, whenever we go I’m just unsufferable about them. Here, take a look.

The chicken themed behavior warnings of business:

I let the chickens run around the yard on weekends or after work. The young ones act oddly as the sun starts going down, often hanging out by my office window and flying at it at top speed. I usually chase them into their coop.

Yesterday I had left the downstairs door open, and I noticed it was getting dark without the usual squawking. Hey, what’s that clucking I hear from the living room?

Business 2.0 was settling in for the night on a chair:

While absurdly cute, I’d rather not clean up all the poop in the morning, so I sent them back out to their coop.

My co-workers Brent Elmer and Jessica Zahn got me a gift on their trip to China for Xbox Fitness. Here’s Jessica demoing it.

The Backups really seem to like the roosting bar I made them.
