Here is our new baby flock.

Chicka_deee · Sep 2, 2019

I would say that our chickens are pets, but they give us eggs and I do love each of them very much.

Before my story begins, if anybody knows what breed the “cross breeds” in my flock, please ( especially Daisy ) tell me I’ve been searching a very very long time, still no luck.
7 years ago we got our first 3 chickens. (2 of them are still with us today.)

Buttercup (past away last winter)
(probably Easter egger)
Green egg layer
Nicknames: Bubbas or Butters or ButterButt(didn’t use that one a lot tho :gig

)

Dandelion
Probably Easter egger
White eggs
Nickname: Dandys

Daisy (she is the favorite, very vocal though)
(Mystery breed, if you know please please tell me)
Light brown big eggs
No nickname

4 years ago we then got 4 more chicks from a class that was raising chicks (all crosses)

Sky (had to get rid of him because he started attacking us)
(Crossbreed)
No nickname

Star (she raised chicks this spring)
(Crossbreed)
White/ beige color eggs
No nickname

Boom Chicka POP (We call her Boomy tho) she is also very vocal if locked in the coop for long time. Lol
(Cross breed of what I think an Easter egger and a welsummer)
Light brown eggs
Nickname: boomsters or Boomy

Sunshine (crossbreed) she is retired but is still loved very much she is kind of a “special needs chicken” but not exactly she was squished as a baby but still made it, she is very strong!!!
(Crossbreed)
Stopped laying a while ago, forgot color of eggs
Nickname: Sunny
She is very sweet

In February we then got 7 more chicks (at a farm store, all purebreds) but had to get rid of both our polish because they turned out to be roosters.

Mashpotato
Polish
He had very bad health problems but didn’t crow which was nice!
