I was spending some time with the chicks this morning.
The darker one we named Dottie, because of all the dots she has.
The lighter one, my son named Dolly, but I`m really starting to think we should rename him Donnie 😂
His tailfeathers are a different shape than Dottie`s, so I`ll give it...
Here are some pics of my hens:
Miesje, our olderst, wyandotte bantam and princess Peach, lohmann brown.
Miesje and princess Zelda, lavender araucana in the front and princess Peach and Betty (GLW) in the back.
Here`s a better pic of Betty.
We have since swapped out the omlet coop for a...
Number 1 is a golden laced wyandotte and a pullet.

i did put them in a little barn overnight, where it is much warmer overnight.
At night it gets...

I`m a woman, 46 yo and living in the Netherlands.
We have 4 hens and 2 chicks that we rescued today.
Our oldest hen is 4 yo, that`s when I first started my chicken adventure (and reading here).
They...
We just rescued some chicks today, people had put them at the side of the road in a small container. Luckily someone else took them home and decided to find a good home for them.

They are about 6 weeks old and supercute, sweet chicks...
