Last Updated: 2/9/10
The photos are in order from oldest to newest.
While previously I went through and mentioned which chickens were deceased, I have not done so for Sprouty and Spicey who died more recently.
Beebee's head on 1/25/04. You can see the
black frost damage to his comb. Beebee was murdered by a fox on 3/24/04. This was his last
photo. He looks kind of mean in the picture but he was my sweetheart!
Pondet on 8/15/04.
Eggs - Brown Pondet egg (bottom left),
two green Spicey eggs (she was an Easter egg chicken), and one store bought white egg (top) for
comparison on 1/8/05.
Pondet (far left), Sugar (second from left), Spice
(bottom, deceased), and Poulet (top) on 2/13/05.
Pondet (bottom) and Poulet (top) on
2/13/05.
Photos of Sprout and Speckles and some with Pondet:
Pondet on 7/8/05; she is sitting on Sprout who has hatched and Speckles who was in the process of hatching or almost there; she was very defensive.
Sprout (top) and Speckles (bottom) with
Pondet on 7/9/05.
Sprout (bottom) and Speckles (top) with
Pondet on 7/9/05. Speckles is still damp!
Sprout (left) and Speckles (right) with Pondet
on 7/9/05. Pondet's mouth is open and looks funny! I fed them in the nest box because Pondet
still would not get up (I thought she was sitting on a third egg which vanished.)
Sprout (left) and Speckles (right) on 7/11/05,
3-days-old.
Sprout (top) and Speckles (bottom) on
7/11/05.
Sprout (left) and Speckles (right) with Pondet
on 7/11/05.
Sprout (left) and Speckles (right) with Pondet
on 7/11/05; she is offering them a piece of kale in her beak!
I am not sure when this photo was taken. My mother gave it to me on 1/6/06 to scan for my site.
It is Sprouty under Pondet in the cardboard box so it is probably around 7/17/05. I think that may
be Speckles under the right side of her.
Pondet and Sprouty and maybe Speckles
Pondet and Speckles on 7/17/05, 9-days-
old.
Pondet, Sprout (left), and Speckles (right) on

Speckles (top) and Sprout (bottom) on

16-days-old here.

Speckles on 8/28/05, 51-days-old. He's
climbing on the window sill.
Speckles on 8/28/05. "Should I get down?"
You can really see his cheek feathers that stick out (a trait from his father's side for
Araucanas).
Speckles on 9/4/05, 58-days-old; the day
after
Specky and Pondet joined Sugar and Poulet. Look at his cute tail feathers.
Speckles on 9/4/05. "You are falling under
my power. Give me more mealworms!"
Speckles on 9/4/05.
Speckles and Pondet on 9/4/05.
Speckles on 9/17/05.
Speckles on 9/17/05. "You know I'm cute,
don't you?"
Speckles on 10/2/05, side view.
Speckles on 10/2/05, top view. His head is
down. You can really see his side head feathers.
I have slowed down taking photos of him. You might say I was a little obsessed getting photos of Speckles!
Speckles is full grown in these photos!
Speckles, Sugar, Pondet, and Poulet
(clockwise from 2 o'clock) on 11/24/05.

Pondet in the nest box, Poulet standing in front of it, and Sugar up against the fence on 4/26/06.
Sugar's Dewclaw - this is the dewclaw that broke off of Sugar's leg when his son, Speckles, attacked him on 12/16/06. There is a ruler in the photo which shows that the claw was over 3" if it could be unfurled.

I put up 12 photos of the chicken house and run from 12/24/06 on my bird shelter page. A few of the photos include the chickens in them (mostly Sugar but one Speckles and one Pondet).
