Frankie is off to an early lead and she never looked back—our first chicken race winner.

The fun with eggs started with an egg relay. The tricky part was the spoon to spoon transfer of our precious huevos.

Three legs, two eggs, and one great race. We all know everything is more fun with eggs, and this race is no exception.

Showing wild hops, the third egg race had its ups and downs.  A lot of eggs ended up on the ground in this contest but only one contestant got yolked.

Showing incredible teamwork and spooning skills, Lick and Rinda delicately transfer their fragile cargo.

The entertaining egg-toss proved why it is a perenial favorite of athletes everywhere.

I have never had so much fun with eggs!!!

Just posting that I chiseled out a lil’ website for Eggport and thought I’d post a link: Eggport

I haven’t had the patience to play with the Wordpress tools and get anything up on the Lucky Cluck site, so you’ll have to take a look at the slow-to-load, semi-clunky site and tell me what you think.

/edit:  Wow…Khem, are you watching me? I could swear that link popped up on the Lucky Cluck Site almost instantly….you are fast.

Lucky Cluck has been living under a reign of terror from a couple aerial predators this winter. The losses have been significant. It is our hope that the horror show is over and now we can remember those who have been lost.

Penny: This round little “bird of curves” was Ram’s first chicken and maybe even his first pet.  Penny was the apple of his eye, the spring in his step and the egg in his French toast.  This tough, spunky yet sweet chicken survived serious injury from a stray cat and went on to raise a chick of her own.  A true charmer, her celebrity personality was Audry Hepburn.  She will be remembered for her beauty, toughness, and love of Tillamook Cheese.

Chickie Mamma: The original chicken. The one that started it all. The founding chicken at Lucky Cluck Farms. This plucky matriarch was at the bottom in terms of stature, bit lived at the top of the pecking order. No one messed with Chickie Mamma.  Her diminutive frame was carried with a bright, alert and jaunty style.  She was a perfectly proportioned bird and though she was never judged in a show, she certainly matched our standard of perfection.

Vibaby: One of Miss Viola’s chicks.  She was one of the hens from the only Lucky Cluck clutch to produce laying hens.  She shared the looks of her daddy, Jimmy, and Miss Vi, Jimmy’s favorite mount.

Matilda: This bearded and muffed bantie was a partner in cuteness with Biscuit the Beloved. This independent-minded little bird marched to the beat of her own drummer.

Talla: Tiny Talla.  She will always be known as the liberal, left-leaning cutie.  Our favorite poultry judge, Beau, said her wry tail was a disqualifier, but that didn’t keep her from winning the hearts of every member of Lucky Cluck Farms.  She also caught the attention of many a farm visitor.

All of these wonderful birds will be missed at Lucky Cluck Farms.

I know I’m cute and sweet but I’m a Salmon Faverolle and darn it I should have muffs.  All of the cutest hens have muffs.  They even get spared culling (see who’s it gonna be post?) because of their cuteness.  So what in the heck happened to me?  Oh yea, and did I mention I like to eat dirt?
