Me and my chickens love the "waterfall'' in our yard! Today my hen took a swim and then went in dirt! Talk about a hot mess!!!

Raven is the one who went and took a dirt bath! She is the black hen

Hi,

I caught my youngest ones taking a nap yesterday. I thought I would share the picture.

These chicks are only a week old.

These are my chicks when they were 2 days old!

I actually have 10 chicks right now. Plus another 17 of varying ages that are older than that.

So, to start, my Welsummer Rooster. My mom calls him the cornflake chicken.

The other two are my Ameraucana hen and one of my Welsummer hens.

I thought you might like to see my nosey neighbor. I don't know if he was considering the browse or my does.

It doesn't look like it but he was less than 6 inches from the electric fence.

My old dog, that lives in the yard, never even noticed him.

George, Year II
This is our Leghorn rooster, George, who showed up last September. After trying to see if he belonged to anyone around us, and finding that he was homeless, he is now ours...it was a mutual decision on both our parts. He did well through our Michigan winter in an adapted section of our garage, but it is time to make his residency official. We now have a coop and will be introducing him to some new friends over the summer. We purchased 6 pullets (3 Black Austalorps and 3 Silver Laced Wyandottes) and are waiting until they are big enough to meet their fearless leader! This is our first adventure with chickens and has been a lot of fun...and quite informative! We are hoping to have a good supply of eggs eventually. As a side note, George still prefers the weeping cherry tree as his perch.
