LOL it was raining this morning when I woke up.....headed out to let the chickens out of the pen, they loved it...later DH woke up and told me to make sure I kept them locked in....he thought they were so dumb they would drown looking at rain drops...LOL...it was just a soaking rain and the yard...
once I get my newer improved bigger chicken palace built and IF I get a good broody hen I may try some fertilized eggs next year. Currently my girls sleeping coop is just the right size for them...my laying house is a bit oversized and I only have a subdivision back yard for forging....I want...
well we have 3 adults in our household, 2 sets of children with grandchildren so 8 there and at least 3 neighbors to bribe since Pasco has no backyard chicken law and MANY friends...none will go to waste.
11x 3 for just my family on a normal basis.....neighbors come next and then friends...
The first pic is Ginger...she is bright red with very yellow legs

Sookie you have...
my smart phone is a hand me down and only gets limited internet...so I have to attach a cable and transfer my oics to the computer to upload....LOL daughter is looking for the cable for me to do so :)
Yes I have 7 more now...will post more pics when I figure out how to get them off my phone LOL...one is a younger pullet so I don't expect eggs for a bit the others were underfed and rangy...went to buy 2 and guy gave me all six...no mites no worms symptoms and vents look pink and moist on all...
Sookiei's comb had been cut off when I found her...the wound was still sore and oozing...used neosporin on her and it took a long time for her comb to grow back...I have NO idea why someone would cut off the combs of a poor chicken anymore than crop dogs tails or ears...seems so mean...more pics...
This is my First Hen Sookie. I have no idea what type she i bur she is very tame...she took 8 full months to lay her first egg after I rescued her as a pullet...she is as tame as a puppy and lays me 5-6 DARK brown eggs a week now.
