Micro and Pipette are loving the tub of saw dust and cut hay that they have in their house. They roll in it with utter joy. And stretch, and sleep on it. Or just puff up. Never knew two chickens could be so ADORABLE.

The Pip Dance.
When i lean over and talk to Pip, he dances for me. Clockwise, anti clockwise and an 8 figure.
Oh that munchkin!!

Showing love...or anger?
Yesterday pip (my rooster) bit my sister's hand and she hand to ultimately yank her hand off because Pip wont let go. And she had this bruise and a triangular beak mark. And today, he bit me a little bit too.
now, the only reasons that I can think of right now are:
1. He was angry.
2. He is a hormonal aggressive rooster.
3. He bit my sister's finger because he tried to bite at her ring.
4. He was showing his extreme love for us.
5. He is a crazy rooster.
Now, what could be the correct answer to that??
And as for Micro, she is rolling in sawdust, basking under the winter sun in bliss, and NOT LAYING ANY EGG!
I feel like those moms who demand grandchildren.

Cookdookooooooo!!!
Seriously, I have no idea why Pip screams all day and all night sometimes. is he feeling cold? but i cover up their house at night. Is he bored? or hormonal? I have no idea. But my neighbour hates it (remember the one who hates their guts and wishes they would die?) and i hate her, so no matter how much Pip screams and shouts i will still love him and support him with all my heart.
I just wish Micro would start laying again! Nevertheless, i love them. <3
And also, they like to pose for the camera! :D

Happy birthday *achhoooo!!*
Mike and Pip's first birthday was okay...I didnt know what special to do. I just gave them a cuddle :)
Next day i find Micro sneezing (poor thing, her whole body, tiny as it is, shook) and Pip was coughing and both of them were wheezing, and were lethargic. I figured they have a cold (the constant rain and its late october now) so I googled my ass off, researched like crazy and concluded that they have CRD (Chronic Respiratory Disorder) where all the above symptoms are characterised.
Best medicine for it is Tetracycline or duramycin or Oxytetracycline. U can use erythromycin too. I obviously dont know much about it, so its best to ask the experts... Why arent there enough chickens doctors here, i dont know! :/ ugh!
Today i held Pip and Mike one by one while dad opened up their tiny mouth and pused erythromycin syrup for babies down their throat using a syringe without a needle. Pip hated it at first but then finding it sweet to taste, gulped it down like a good boy. Micro, on the other hand, scratched me (and i could not even man handle her, she is so tiny!) and when dad pushed the medicine down her throat she started gasping, sneezing, and was pretty much mad at us.
Apart from the meds, i made sure that they were as dry as possible, and warm. I gave them warm water and brandy (which they enjoy ;) haha) and also their food consisted of puffed rice, garlic, ginger, chillies and so on. It tends to keep them warm. I plan to do this the whole winter...i hope they stay healthy!
There is nothing more awful than having your babies fall sick!
They are getting better...Pip wasnt calling for the past two days, but today i heard a faint coodookoo and I was so happy!
Babies, i tell you... <3
xoxoxo

Back when their poop amount was manageable. Those were the good ol' days..
And now, when i wish there were Chicken Diapers available in the market.
Happy birthday, dear babies!! <3 I love you.

Italiano!
I did a bit of research (you know how Google makes us want to know more) and turns out, Leghorn chickens are originally from Italy.
Mike and Pip might not know but their ancestors used to run on Italian pastures and peck on Italian worms and seeds.
Ignorance is bliss, so I am not telling them anything about this.

That goes for pipette.
