Barred Rock

These birds have been the foundation of our flock. They have stood up to the arid Colorado weather here which means cold winters, hot summers and not much rain so no many plants or bugs. Very...

Acquired these two girls from someone who wasn't supposed to have them in the city. They were still pullets. They lay one egg every other day between the two of them. Have not noted them to be...

Partridge Plymouth Rock

I wasn't sure I'd like them but have found them to be attractive and friendly so far. Hardy robust little birds.

With several comments about finding it hard to obtain good quality Brabanters, has anyone purchased from Sandhill? Where have you found good quality stock? If our town changes it's regs, this is...

I like everything about it except how it looks right now. I know it lays decently. It is a great part of my great waterfowl flock.

Took some pics of our SFHs today. Thought I would share some of the pics. Sorry if there are too many but I could not choose. We also have a black and a bluish hen, but they are broody so not in this pen.

Gorgeous!!

I am very excited, as I just hatched out 4 Swedish Flowers. They were a "sure, throw some of those in, too" decision when I ordered Brahmas to replace one of my favorite hens that died suddenly. So I have read the last few pages of this thread and am so excited to see what colors I will have. Here they are:

The one in that back is much darker and reder than the others. They are 2 1/2 weeks old now, and the dark one is getting very neat looking.

I'v had a backyard flock for about two years. I have a Leghorn, a Production Red, a Barred Rock, a French Copper Marans, an EE, two OE, an Ameraucana, Buff Brahma, and a BLRW. And two Rouen ducks and a mess of pigeons. And a partridge in a pear tree.......
