Ellis Kansas noob here. Trying my hand with chickens. So far I've enjoyed watching the chicks grow and they are feathering out nicely.
We have one Barred Rock, one Rhode Island Red, one Black Sex Link, three unidentified Bantums, and four Americaunas . Wish me luck.
The smaller chicks are the Bantums. They are about 2weeks old. Their feathers are coming in golden brown with traces of white and they have feathered feet. Any guess on which variety they are? They appear similar in color to my Rhode Island Red that appears in the first photo.
My wife and I have decided to start our own backyard flock. We are hoping to teach our two daughters the rewards of hardwork and responsibility, and a few dozen eggs never hurt.
