Cricket my featherless chicken has been determined to be broody since she put in the time I'm going to give her a chick. She has no feathers to keep the baby warm though, so this afternoon I made her a maternity dress. So here she is sporting her new look.

She sat on ceramic eggs b/c I didn't think she could keep an egg warm enough, and I hatched her a chick which I gave her last night, I haven't checked on her this morning but Gary will later.
I didn't have an Elvis, my original featherless roo was Rudy and he did die, my most recent favorite roo was Vader, and he died protecting his ladies from a threat.

Kass, what is the average lifespan of a chicken/rooster? We were given a huge barred rock rooster by our neighbors, when varmints killed off all of their chickens but him. We tamed him and carried him around like a pet. One day, not too many months after we got him, the kids were playing with him and he keeled over and died! Nothing wrong... I just figured he was at the end of his road and we didn't realize how old he was. Do they live about 2 years, normally?
