In April, my husband decided to try having guineas on our hobby farm to help with ticks. Since they are quite feral, I wanted to have something more tame and domesticated as well, so I got 6 pullets of different breeds (1 EE, 1 australorp, 2 RIR, 2 Plymouth Rocks). They are now about 13 wks old and have been amazing, sweet birds!
I’d always been looking for some with feathered legs, and my husband was really wanting some lavenders. So at the end of May, I found some BYM bantams with feathered legs, and in June, found some lavenders (1 Orpington and 2 ameraucana). I’m thinking the orpie and 1 of ameraucanas may be cockerels as they are growing up so we may be making a bachelor coop and/or separate bantam area if they don’t mingle well with original pullets…
We are constantly working on projects to improve the coop/run for our new feathered friends and thought we’d join on here to learn from more experienced people!
