Fly High, Little Girl
Today is a sad day. My little Pavelle Marie, the most unique, bravest, and most interesting member of our flock, died today, from an attack by an unidentified predator.
Her body was found in the shallow duck pond, which gives me the thought that she might have snatched by a hawk or some other bigger bird, but was dropped. I have no basis for this assumption, other than the fact that I had to…

On Thursday, Pavelle’s two little chicks will be three weeks old. Last week, she moved them out of the cat carrier nursery where they hatched and into the nests. I know, I know, we’re not supposed to encourage our chickens to sleep in the nests, but YOU explain that to a broody momma with babies to protect. Especially my little attack pineapple. Seriously, it’s much better to just let Pavelle handle her babies in her own way and clean up after them than it is to try and impose my will on her.
Other things to note… I was quite wrong about them not having feathered legs. The bigger of the two, who came from an olive EE-cross egg does, in fact, have feathered legs. Given the overall size of the chick and yellow coloring, I am guessing Sylvester the Buff Brahma to be the father.
They go outside almost every day now. Almost because we’ve had very up and down weather, and on the cooler, rainier days, Pavelle does not stray too far from the coop.
Here are some pictures of them from around the 1 1/2 – 2 week mark. If you look closely at the bigger, non-black chick’s legs, you can see the feathers on the sides.
And now here are some pics from over this past weekend.
I am cute, aren’t I?
See How We’ve Grown! On Thursday, Pavelle's two little chicks will be three weeks old. Last week, she moved them out of the cat carrier nursery where they hatched and into the nests.
Well, It's Spring
Well, It’s Spring
(We hope it’s spring anyway. Winter has not wanted to give up this year!) And that means the return of green grass and bugs in the chicken pasture… Darcy hunting for something yummy. Chipmunk ♥️ Darcy, still hunting Down by the pond The crowd by the food dish. And broody hens… Yes, my little Pavelle is broody. She is puffed up like a little prickly pineapple and yells at you when you walk by, let…

Since I gave Mini-Pav his/her own past, I thought it only fair to do that same with his siblings. I give you… Feather Butt.
Feather Butt, another of Pavelle’s part Pavlovskaya, part sexlink, part Rhode Island Red, possible part Polish, mixed up chicks… is the biggest of the three chicks, with a bigger mohawk than Mini-Pav, but almost non-existence wattles.
Feather Butt has grayish yellow legs with a yellow beak and comb that kind of reminds me of Pip. His/her legs still have little wisps of feathers, showing his Pavlovskaya heritage. But only little tufts. You have to be to up close to see them at the ankles and tops of his/her legs.
Feather Butt is friendly, smart and charming.
In short, since I like this chick, Feather Butt is a possible rooster. Anyone want to place bets?

Mini-Pav
I had a lovely up the chicks planned out a couple weeks ago and it got drastically changed. I need to write a longer one and that takes time. But since I haven’t posted in a while, here’s a picture of Mini-Pav, who no longer looks much like his/her Momma. Mini-Pav is a curious mix of Pavelle’s black and Pip’s redder coloring. With a little black Mohawk and the start of wattles. At five…

Un p’tit mot sur Hergo et Pavelle ? ;)
Anonymous
Zelda : Ils se sont mariés quelques années après nous ^^ ils ont trois enfants, Quail, Pia et Koel, qui ont dix, sept et cinq ans. Pavelle tient toujours sa boutique au marché couvert et Hergo a été chevalier pendant quelques années avant de se reconvertir dans la construction, c’est lui qui a aidé mon père à agrandir l’école quand le nombre d’élèves a augmenté. Il continue quand même à rejoindre une patrouille de trmps en temps.
The debut album from my band, “Pavelle” is available now! Get your copy at our website, www.pavellemusic.com I played drums on, co-wrote, and co-produced/engineered this record.
