A flock update :)

So the 6 tiny chicks are now pullets, and due to start laying at any time.

We started with 2 Barred Rocks, 2 Buff orpingtons and 2 Rhode Island reds.

We have since added 5 Bantams as well! We have 2 rose combs, 1 porcelain booted, a Sebring and a Frizzle.
Of course I have pictures...but you will have to excuse the orientation of them...I have no clue how to fix them from my phone.

Theyre all beautiful!

Thank you! We opted to get the bantams for the kids to handle in 4H. The big girls are a little too big for little hands.

LOL. So cute. I love chickens! My uncle had a farm while I was growing up and I used to play with his chickens all the time.

Watch out for those rhode island reds, they are horrible "hen peckers" (when chickens peck the tail feathers out of the other chickens tails, this behavior is "contagious" and your others chickens will start to do it as well). I do, however, really like bantams, even though their lay rate and egg size is decreased.

Awww, my Rhode Island Reds (within a mixed flock) are all very sweet girls! One, Agnes, has actually always been the one chicken to be protective of those lowest on the pecking order; without ever going broody. Of course, I raised them from the time they were 2 days old and socialized them...a lot
