Fantastic info! How old were the chicks?

Oh, well they are already several weeks old. I don't know what "broody" means.

I don't know!?? I'm embarrassed to say I don't know what that means.

A little background... I have 6 full grown hens that I raised from chicks, but they have never had their own chicks. I purchased some babies from the hardware store and they are doing fine in their little hutch but I was wondering if it would be possible to get one of the hens to adopt the...

LOL, exactly!

Not yet but I’m going to paint more of them.

My Easter Egger Chickens are so hilarious, I decided to paint a picture of them. Thought y’all would enjoy it.

They are SOOOO funny. This is my first time to ever have chickens and I have to admit we coddle them a little too much and treat them like pets. They have so much personality. They live in a big shed with our 5 bunnies. They really are social and even knock on the back door when they want me to...

The ones with the white ears, 3rd and 4th pictures are the only ones laying (tiny) eggs which is surprising since they are the smallest.

Don’t laugh, but when we bought our baby chicks we thought we were getting 2 breeds, maybe 3 at the most. Now it seems of our merry band of 13 that we have at least 5 types. Can someone help me identify?

Yes, I will get some individual pics and post in a bit. Thanks!
