I'm closer Kings Mill.  What do you have down there?  I've got an EE rooster that someone gave me, about 5 Rhode Isl Reds, 1 leghorn, 2 breed quality black javas, and a few other odds and ends. 

 

I've hatched two batches of mutts in the still airs.  I know have  it full with some blue and blue /copper marans from 2 different farms.  and then I got some, hopefuly all lavender Araucanas from South of Time farms.

4 horses, 21 Araucanas, 6 blue marans and a whole bunch of mutt chickens.

Yes the eight week old was under the mom with the 7 - three week olds, although not so much under as half of her was hanging out!  I was amazed the hen actually let her.  The other four were on the roost huddled up.

 

Nice hen Theron, here are some mille fleur roosters - one who could use a home!wink.png

I'm really new to all this, never had chickens before.  I got 12 RIR chicks from TSC.  As a result, this weekend will be spent building a coop.  I'm hoping Olive gets some scovies hatched out (thanks again!).

 

Beyond that it's just a dog and a cat (who is dangerously fascinated by the chicks)

 

Oh and I should be getting bees and hives later this month.

 

 

Oh and Taprock and others, those mille fleurs are gorgeous!
