My Girls

[MichellesChickens]

The new flock of 9 girls that arrived last night seem to be settling in, I did get one egg today so far. Once they have had time to get comfortable here with their new home, us and the other chickens, I'll combine the two coops into one. My current flock of 7 gets to free range whenever we are home, hopefully before long the new girls can join them. Will they help teach them the boundaries of where they are allowed to go? I believe with the 9 new girls I have 4 Buff Orpington, 1 Plymouth Barred Rock, 2 Black Australope and 2 Ameraucana, look about right? Last picture in the green grass in the original 7 Sapphire Gem girls and their leader Meredith the cat.

Thanks, yes those are Sapphire Gems.

I love them! I have some, and they lay eggs every day. Beautiful pink double-yolkers!

Beautiful flock, ❤ thanks for sharing! The new birds will be cautious about wandering too far away at first. Make sure they know the coop is home and return to it every night. Watch the old flock doesn't bully the newbies from entering the coop at night. They should do fine.
