The difference between breakfast and chicks, is the temperature you use to "cook" the eggs!

 

What breeds do I have?  More than any sane person would own.

All that dirt is chicken dust bathing heaven!!!!!  Whatcha building?

Having an Icelandic in the coop is like having a 2 year old in the house - they are into everything and don't follow the rules.

I have zero chicken willpower.

It was originally supposed to be a 3 season sunroom with wood burning stove , now its going to have duct work, a cathedral ceiling, and possibly a barn beam. I think I was kicked off the planning committee at some point.

I ended up with three cockerels and two pullets. I love the variety of combs and crests. I have one with a single comb, one with a rose comb

 

 

 

and one with a single comb that bends around to sit on his

head at a 90 degree angle.

Those are some nice looking roos and pullets. 

 

Just out of curiosity did anyone hatch more females than males this year ? I was about 85% cockerels, ducks and turkeys I was 50/50.
