They are beautiful! Thank you for sharing! :love
I have to ask, is that one duck in the rear that's not white a buff orpington? We have two that sort of fell in our laps and I don't see them very often. That one looks about the same color.

One of them I had open, got this. There was a picture in between these two that didn't load. I refreshed and it loaded. I'm going to log out, clear cache, reboot, and if you never hear from me again, my computer exploded. :gig

I can't help but think of my Corgi every time I see a Dorking chicken. :) (The short legs in case nobody knows what I'm talking about.) At least dogs weren't the only ones to get that trait, but they sure are pretty! Would love to see a picture of yours...

Awe, thanks for sharing all those pictures. Gorgeous pictures and chicks!
Where do you live as I raise and breed silkies, and keep striking out on getting a blue rooster.

I also think you should get several more hens if you want to have 3 roosters. Some will say 10 hens per rooster. We typically have about 4-5 hens per rooster, which is on the low side, but these are silkies, where it works a bit better. Fewer hens means...

Oh, and congrats on the first egg. That's always so eggciting! :)
I had just opened, let me count... 13 pages, so I'll clear my browser, log out, and go from there after I'm done.
I did notice in the past couple of days that I did not get one frozen page, but just a few minutes ago, a picture I posted loaded, then disappeared. I refreshed, and it was back...
I have to deal with broodies year round, but mostly in the spring, of course when you want them to start laying better, and from then on until fall when it slows down a little bit.
The way many of us break ours, is to make a broody jail.
Here's ours. It has food in a bucket with hooks so it...

It's pretty common for many of us older folks to have had chickens at one point in our lives, then fast-forward a few decades, and here we are again. :)
We're glad you're here!
What have you planned for their coop for where they sleep, lay eggs, get cover when it rains, etc.? I'm guessing if this was ours, we would have looked on Marketplace for some dog houses or crates to remodel or make a few with roofs that you can raise to check for eggs.
These aren't our...
