These are pics of my first hatch. I set 18 eggs on February 1st. Found fertile eggs from a local source. The rooster is a BCM. I was told that he is Cottage Hill line...I am not allowed roosters and this was the first rooster I have ever seen in person. Wish I had taken my camera with him. I was...

I set my first batch of eggs on February 1st. I found a local source in the San Fernando Valley for Oliver Egger eggs. His roo was absolutely gorgeous, a BCM(he said it was Cottage Hill line). So I asked for 12 eggs and he gave me 18. I used the Genesis Hovabator, manually turning the eggs 3...

My4 hens at around 24 weeks have not yet produced any eggs for me. Today I see a big difference in the color of my two EE hens. It looks like someone put lipstick on the combs of my girls. I know they were not that red yesterday. Does anyone know if this could be a sign they will lay soon? I...

I was out in the backyard around sunset tonight taking pictures of my flock. I noticed my EE Bella near the chain link gate in the backyard. It is about 5 feet high and I had put up some netting near it to keep the chicks away from some new plants I just put in to grow on the fence. Bella easily...

I just love capturing close ups of my chickens eyes. I would love to see close ups of eyes of many different breeds. Here are a few of mine.

I just put together this website yesterday. It shows some of my favorite pictures of my backyard chicken adventure. I will keep updating it regularly. I am addicted to taking pictures of these girls. I just wish they would slow down and stand still for a little while...

I cannot believe how quickly these little girls have grown. When I first joined this forum I had just the 4 week old chicks, 2 EE and 2 Reds(that I had thought were BO's). Then my neighbor got his 8 from MPC and told me he did not want to give me half right away, but wanted to start them first...

I was given 8 chicks that my neighbor ordered from MPC. He ordered 2 each of BO, JG, Aust, and BR. I have been told the two standard BO's are actually bantam Buff Brahmas. I think they got the Barred Rocks right, but I cant tell much difference between the four black birds. The biggest...

I have been wondering what the breed and sex of these two are. I will repost some older pics and then the latest pic in which I would say they are about 15 weeks. Here they looked a lot different in color. One being darker red than the other. Around 12 weeks I think. And now at around 15...

She is the smallest in my flock of 4 birds. I think she is about 9 weeks old now.

I have had a few people say these two may be boys. Here they are 4 weeks later. I think they are 9 weeks old now. What do you think?

Can anyone please help id these chickens. My neighbor ordered 2 Australorops, 2 BR, 2 Jersey Giant, and 2BO's from MPC. They came last month and are now over 4 weeks old. The two blonds, which he thought were BO's, are almost half the size of the others, and have feathers on the feet. They...

This is the almost completed run and coop my neighbor built me for a few beers. All I need to do is put down vinyl on the floor and secure the space under the coop as it sits above the ground. I am hoping to get some paver stones from my brother for that. We used Hardware Cloth to cover the top...

I just got my first chicks about a week ago. I am having so much fun watching them grow, building there coop with my very handy neighbor, and taking lots of pics of it all. You can follow my raising chickens thread, with lots of pictures of my 2 BO's and EE's. Now I wish I would have got a few...

A neighbor asked me a few months ago if I would split a order of 8 chicks with him from My Pet Chicken. I said sure, I have been wanting chickens for a while now. They are due to hatch on Monday, so they will be arriving Thursday I think. Well today he told me that MPC said all 8 need to stay...
