Welcome to Chickerton! Chickerton is what we call my little farm, since there's so many chickens and other poultry. It's even divided up into three sections, Poultryland, where chickens, geese, guineas and wild birds all dwell together, Chickenville, where most of my chickens live, and Bitty City, where all of my little chicks grow up. Enough talk, let's meet some of them!Poultryland
The geese;
<<<Snow geese!
<<<The geese at their water buckets.
<<< Tom, a goose I had who passed on a few years ago.
The guineas;
<<<Most of our keets ended up being orphans some how, so our sweet cochin hens raised them in place of their mother. <3
<<<The guinea flock taking a stroll along the driveway.
<<<A 2009 or 2010 picture of the guineas and chickens resting in the snow on the goat pen.
The chickens;

Bitty City
<<<Pancake with her four pullets: Golden Owl,
Phantom, Raven, and Mustard.
<<<Warby (Warbler) a little bitty I'm raising laying next to Kiki on the couch.
<<<Golden Owl.
<<<One of my black pullets from Livonda's brood.
My Current Broods:
Pancake's Brood- Pancake (Cupcake's sis) hatched her 12 peeps out underneath the porch. Somehow her chicks disappeared one by one, and now she only has four pullets. Phantom, a black chick with white face; Golden Owl, an Easter Egger pullet; Mustard, an EE pullet; and Raven, another black one. They have two fathers, one is Sylvester and the other is unidentified.
Chickadee's Brood- Chickadee (Cupcake's daughter) hatched about 6 to 7 peeps out. Fire ants attacked her brood when she first came off her nest with her chicks. They bit all of her chicks so bad that it was only a few days later when the alcholoid venim destroyed them, leaving only one chick left who hadn't hatched yet when the incident occured.
I named him Warby too because he looks just like him.
Lucretia's Brood- Lulu hatched out 8 peeps in the pampus grass, I think. She started to roost on the porch at night and one night she decided to get up in the tree. Her chicks didn't know how to get up into the tree so they came up on the porch. Unfortunately a snake caught some of the chicks and left her with six. Five chicks (all barred rocks, which I haven't named yet) know how to roost in the tree now, But a small black chick named Warby kept coming into the house to sleep at night. A few nights ago Warby finally made it into the tree.
Livonda's Brood-Livonda (Lulu's sister) hatched two chicks out underneath a lawnmower. Every night they would go into the haybarn and I would bring them into the house, where they roosted for a month. After a close escape from a snake, though, they have started roosting in the tree.
