These are my first chickens, gifts from a daughter for Christmas. Once they started laying, it's rare to have a day without one egg from each hen. They come when I call them, stay close to the...

Such cute peas, Mmmaddie13! They look like one very happy (and curious) little group!
And such lovely photos Zazouse - you are so lucky to have that beautiful green grass growing during this time of year. It is just dry and hot around here during the summer and all that is left besides the sticks of dry grass and scattered weeds are a few small patches of green grasses. I wish I could move to an area with a climate such as yours to enjoy greenery all year round and be able to grow banana trees!
Here is one of my 'rescue peas' - pictures were taken last year about three weeks after he and his two sisters were brought home. I need to take an updated picture - he is looking much better now but still walks with a very slight limp from an unknown cause.
And this is Sasha hanging out on top of the unfinished pigeon loft wondering what I am doing pointing that odd-looking camera at her.
Ooh Zaz you can pull off those little sacs on the banana that have the juice in it and suck it out of there. I know what you mean about it tasting really good. I never knew bananas get that good liquid until last year in Marine Biology class when our teacher brought in a few of those tiny sacs from his bananas and I was the first person to volunteer to try it. Honey suckle is good, but that banana stuff is really really good! I only have two bananas. I really want them to produce something but I guess they aren't old enough. I also want other banana plants to pop up but so far that hasn't happened. I love your birds and your yard too!
I still need to free-range some peas....I never can decide when to do it and when I try to free-range them they won't step out of the pen so I end up having to close the pen again and just try some other day.
10 peafowl: 1 India Blue, 1 blackshoulder, 1 pied, 4 splits (pied or white), 3 whites.
Wanted: Pure Indo-Chinese (Imperator) peafowl, I also want a new pen!
Proud to be Native American and happy to have wonderful family & friends.

Casper
Hiccup
Hiccup showing some beautiful green already!
Muppet :)
And little Olav, feathers still changing every day.
If anyone has any guesses on boys or girls of any of them, please feel free to chime in!!! At this point I'm sure Olav's a little boy.

Olay is a male.Hands down a b/s male coming in full bloom with color.They are 6 wks old now? Please write down my prediction on this bird and it's age when the assessment was made,,I'm sure with all his mottling showing now he could have been sexed 2 weeks ago easy.Suprised you had energy for pics today,,you nite owl!! I may try tomorrow to get some pics of my bronze chicks with IB chicks so we can compare them.

The kids were VERY well-behaved for their photo shoot. :)
Well two weeks ago we kind of did determine that Olav is a male, here's his 4 week old pic above his 6 week old pic.
I marked down in my notebook that we determined Olav is a male at 4 weeks old. :)
What about the green in Hiccup's neck feathers? That's the only one who has any iridescence as of yet.
AND here's this picture of Muppet, because I didn't put it up earlier, and it deserves to be "shown off...."
