I raise chickens and I have two peafowl. One male and one female. My chicken chicks are to young yet to be out in the coop yet so I have them in the house but every day I take them outside so they can start getting used to the outside. They are in a small cage. When I take the cage outside my...
This little one is a mix of a Silver Laced Wyandotte and a Mille Fluer.
Hatched last saturday. I am very curious what this little one is going to turn out to look like. It's got the beard like a mille but the coloring of the SLW.

I have a broody hen sitting at the moment, but I had to move my tractor due to rain and 3 inches of mud yesterday. My broody hen came out for about 1 hour, pecked around for a while and went back to sit. I am going to estimate that the eggs are just a few days in the process. Was an hour too...
I just guess that I just can not resist something good when I see it. They were just to cute not to take them. I guess I have the CLUCK CLUCK FEVER! First you look, then you walk away.....then you walk back to look again. Then you think... Hummmmm. Do I have the room? You answer.... Yes I do...
