Out of the 49 chickens 39 were babies and we were not sure if they were roosters or hens until now. The new 10 we knew were hens. Anyway. Out of the 39 we ended up with 5 roosters.
4 are Lavender Orphington
1 Bard Rock
All the Road Islands are Hens and so are the Sapphires.
Here are some...
Alright Folks!
I know I've been M.I.A. for quite some time, sorry for that... Was hoping Echo would help a bit more but Life is complicated right now, more so than we had thought it would be when we started this.
We've got 2 new videos up on our Channel on YouTube, please be kind!
We're not...
Also, As Echo mentioned above, we have started finally getting eggs.
Our Birds are now between 18 weeks and 12 weeks old.
Many different sizes, colors, and shapes, but I'm sure it'll all even out in the end. :) They are new layers after all..Z
5 in total today so far!
Well, maybe you all will enjoy a few of the photos we were able to take on May 10th during the Solar Flare.
These were taken in Malden, WA. I've never seen the Northern Lights this far south.
*Edit* Sorry if a few are a bit blurry, I was very excited :)
Hey Folks & Chicks!
I know we've been 'Out of Touch' for the last few Weeks.
We had planned on being here, actively taking part, only to wind up overly busy and never the energy to sign-in.

Thank you guys

PAN:
I'm a bit rough around the edges, I know. I'm sorry for that.
As far as the chicken goes, we're going to start calling this one 'Mira' (Me-Rah), short for Miracle.
It is a Miracle that we have had 40 Chickens, 4 different breeds, each hatched at different times at different places, with...
Temps...
Thought this might matter.
We've been crazy in temps all month of April. Night temps under 32F, day temps upwards of 65 at times, major temp swings...
Chicks have been kept in a plenty dry & warm enviroment.
I have seen zero evidence of worms.
(Pan) I guess I will work with Echo on getting some video of the affected chicken posted somehow, we're not very big techie people... O.o
As for describing what is wrong with the chicken.
We spend time with the chickens 3-4 times a day to observe changes in behavior... yeah, we're new chicken...
