I remember the day that the chicks arrived. Princess was so small and brownish grey, I couldn't ever recall seeing and Easter Egger that color before. Even when Princess got sick (see last post) the family was on pins and needles saying prayers for Princess. We looked forward to the beautiful blueish green eggs that she would lay this fall...Sooooo, remember when I was typing away on my last post and saying that hopefully there wouldn't be any more chicken issues in the near future?... well.... turns out this week a shocking piece of news has been revealed to our family...... drumroll please......
Princess is better and back to her normal self and as I compare her to the other chicks I notice...
weird? Princess' tail is pretty tiny compared to the others.... I wonder why?
and boy is she assertive (that's the way that we say aggressive when we talk about girls). And hey, wait a sec.... her comb is sure coming in fast and turning red before the other little chicks...
Princess!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Here, here. Order in the court. Today we announce to the subjects of our kingdom that Princess is indeed..... a prince. He'd prefer to be knows and T.A.F.K.A.P. (The Avian Formerly known as Princess) but the sad fact is that whatever we call him, he must now relocate to a non-urban home. A few people have shown interest. We will be sad to see Prince(ss) go.
We have arranged a chicken trade so that Princess' former owner will not be left without a chicken (she is now claiming my chicken as her new Princess). So as of today we can now decree that all is once again well in the kingdom. ;)

That is so funny! I love your way of telling stories.
Can I just say how much I love reading about the chickens. Seriously, it all sounds like so much fun, and I love the pics too. They're getting big fast.
My goodness, a gender misdiagnosis! Will look forward to seeing the duchess when she arrives.
I can't decide whether the title being "a royal upest" is a typo or not...
