Along time ago my dad told me how cool it would be to raise chickens in the back yard... i was instanly hooked!! three days later we got 5 Amerucana X Rode Island Red chicks from r local feed store.





thats them playing in the front yard eating outa my hand


so fast forward a couple weeks an look now

this is peep-


she is a hen. peep got her name because when my mother frist got her in her hands she said "peep peep" an my mom said thats her name Peep. peep is white black an brown an she is at the bottom of the pecking order becuase she is smallest an shy

this is peggysue-


she is also a hen. peggysue was named by me an my cusins. she has pretty all black eyes an is slate black with one feather wiht a white tip on both sides of her wings. she is the "reble of the group" becuase when the 5 r feeding shes drinking an when there drinking shes eating, if the attention is on me she doent pay attetion, if the attetion aint on me she is wanting my attention. shes funny too becuase she likes to jump on my shoulders!

this is pepper-





she is a hen too. pepper got her name becuase of the red dots on the chest an back. she is at the top of the pecking order for sure!
i would call her my "fat chicken" she eats so much an she poofs up her feathers so she looks big but shes accualy really small

this is buster one of my roos-



he was a good lookin roo but sadly he aint allowed in my neighboorhood so i gave him to one of my fathers workers who also has chicken an he needed a roo!

this is my second roo big boy-




now he is not the most "manly" looking roo becuase he had a flaat comb an small waddles but he was HUGE he toward over all the others on he fought with buster but he never won ( buster is just a boss
