This is a picture of one of my EE'S that I hatched in March. I will add a picture of her mom below this picture, but her dad is no longer with us.
This is mom(Shirley) we got her off of Craigslist. She has such a personality.
This is another EE that I got from the same person on Craigslist. This is the first time she has had feathers on her back since I got her. We call her Pickles because she was always picking her feathers off her own back. After going thru her molt recently she has finally grown feathers & hasn't eaten them all off. We are keeping our fingers crossed, lol.
This is a EE that I got from McMurray Hatchery this Spring. I'm a little bummed, nice bird but she doesn't lay a colored egg, hers are brown.
This is a picture of my flock, I've went into the garage for food, but they think I'm bring them some scratch. Just had to go back & get some for them because it was just too funny.
This is a picture of my first coop. Hubby & I built it last Dec & part of January this year. The tempurature hovered between 9* F with windchills in the negative's throughout the entire building process. I cannot tell you how glad I was to see it done. This was the first home for our Craigslist girls & Roo.
This is a picture of our 2nd coop. We built this in May & June of this year. Currently it houses 26 birds, 2 Roo & 24 hens comfortably. Both coops are connected with Chicken yards, with the option of closing a little chicken door between the 2 runs if needed. I also have a chicky playpen built in one corner of the big run for yard time for our baby chicks - love that feature.
This a partial picture of the runs, note the turtle sandboxes. I use these for sand, powdery black dirt & stove ash for dust bathing. This allows me to cover them at night & during storms. Plus when I take the lid off I prop them up on a pipe & the birds use them for shade.
This Winter my flock is enjoying the underside of the coop for dust bathing.
Today was a cold but sunny day. Here are some of the gang enjoying the warmth of the deck in the sun.
This here is a picture of both my roosters hanging out with the ladies at the same time. Wow, that doesn't happen often, lol.
This is Kazoo, he is a Sicilian Buttercup. He is the smallest of my 2 Roos, but he is #1 Roo. We gave him his name because when he first started crowing he sounded like a Kazoo.
And this is Ollie my 2nd Roo, he is a White Chantecler. He is so docile, unfortunately Kazoo often chases him all over pulling out feathers. We've contiplated getting rid of him, but the people backed out on us (thankfully). I absolutely love both of my Roos. It would break my heart to have to get rid of Ollie now. He makes me laugh everyday. He seems to be "all legs", when he comes running he looks like a ostrich, it's hilarious. Even his feet make a tromping sound when he runs.
This is Goldielocks, she is our only Buff Orpington on the farm. We are hoping that she & Kazoo will make beautiful baby chicks for us this Spring. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that she will brood and hatch them herself. I have only ever had the opportunity to hatch with a incubator. Would love to see momma with babies.
This is Henny Penny, she is the only pearl leghorn that I have and she is one of the originals from my Craigslist purchase. Currently she is going thru molt so she's a little rough around the edges. But she is a egg laying machine when she's not molting. Plus she will go outside in ANY weather condition.

Here is Kazoo showing off for the ladies. Even if the run door is open, he likes to fly over the fence. First stopping on the fence to crow.
These two snow pictures were created by my granddaughter Lily two weekends ago.
This is Laverne, she is one of Shirley's offsprings that I hatched this Spring.
The upper 3 pictures are of my BSL hens.
