    My new retired Factory Hens!

    We found ours because thw chicken farm had signs on the road that they had chickens for sale. I didn't know they were even there until I followed the signs!

    My new retired Factory Hens!

    Someone layed an egg this morning! The shell was paper thin on it. I'll put some oyster she'll out for them. Bless their little chicken souls!

    My new retired Factory Hens!

    I actually went back and got two more hens! As soon as I put them with the first two, they perked up and started scratching and pecking around. I guess they needed more hens to feel like a flock! None layed an egg today, but they seem to be healthy and active.

    My new retired Factory Hens!

    By the way, they are about a year and a half in age. They also called them Bovanes, I believe.

    My new retired Factory Hens!

    I got two hens today, they came from a commercial factory. They look to be in rough shape, but I guess they will feather out with time. They were housed in pretty close quarters. They seem healthy, but a little scared. Although, I think they like their extra space! I'll probably wait a few weeks...

    What are these chicks?

    Looking at australorps chicks, they look very similar. Mix up at the feed store I guess. Oh well.

    I was sold these chicks as Dominique pullets. Do they look like Dominiques? I'm not sure...

    Growing Up Madagascar Games!

    [/IMG]I've gotten some Madagascar Games chicks, and I'm going to document their development here! I'll post as they seem to change in appearance. They look to be 4 blue, 2 black and one splash chick. They are also a straight run, so we'll see how many turn out to be roos!

    Naked Necks or Madagascar games?

    Thanks for the information! I got them for fun because I liked their colors. It's a straight run, so I hope I get a hen or two. It might be neat to have a little flock of them!

    Naked Necks or Madagascar games?

    After looking at Ideals website, I'm leaning towards the games. They are shown as being black/blue in color, which seem to be the colors of my chicks.
