Too cute! We have a little bantam girl that comes in for about an hour every couple days for an eye cleaning and she loves to run around on the couch. 😂
Here are some updated photos. While unfortunately waiting on some backordered pieces to arrive to finish and secure their area, they currently have full run of our 40x8 deck during the day.
These 3 are all relatively close to the same weight, she (left bird) is a little smaller
He (right...
I don't think I've seen the comparison sheet, I'll have to go look. Thank you!
They share about 4 cups of pellets or so a day and he's typically one of the last to eat.
That's a very valid point about the mixed boxes.
I'd like breeds that are friendly, relatively calm, hopefully affectionate 😂.
The 2 Pekins are super sweet, and one of the white layers which are all the boys but the white layer female is always so scared of everything she sends everyone into a...
Good idea, Thank you.
All our rescues are currently overwhelmed with dogs and guinea pigs with 4 recent hoard situations.
I really only use Facebook for the groups but absolutely a good place to check.
Aw, what a great assortment! I was debating on just going for a mystery box with the mixed assortment as I'm finding it super hard to decide on breeds. 😂
They are all beautiful in their own way. Do you like your swedish? It's one breed I've had my eye on.
Haha. I love it!
Hubby about had a cow when I told him we'd probably need a minimum of 10, just as a ballpark guess.
I've been kind of eyeballing the swedish, I'm not sure if I've seen the Welsh harlequin yet. Because of the time frame I'll be bringing them in, I've noticed some hatcheries...
Welp, so it appears 3 of the 4 are boys! :barnie
I've already gave the hubby his options which were-
*Get rid of the girl and keep a bachelor coop. Lol. The girl is the least trusting, and most high strung. (Nobody wanted to give up any of the boys)
OR
Bring in more girls to even out the...
I'm so excited, it feels like the wait has been forever but finally after 24 weeks one of my 4 Dominique pullets laid. She's been acting a little different the past 2 days and very vocal so I was hoping it would be soon. I'm impressed with the size for her first.
It looks like she ran out of...

Actually I just snapped some today! Here's a video as well if it works properly.
We're trying to get their area outside finished this week, it's been 108° and looking at 112° Tuesday, so going a little slower than planned...
I'm still so amazed at how fast these guys grow! They are so sweet and silly.
2 have a lilac/lavender colored bills while the other 2 are turning a yellow/orange. Does that mean there's a possibility of 2 breeds?
A couple newer photos, they don't sit still so they aren't great, they were...
I don't personally own the misting version but have spoke to another member here who does and they really like it.
My birds enjoy misters in their run, but all birds are different. Some will love it and some will hate it.
Only one of mine is currently laying, the others should follow soon. I've noticed nest box exploring recently. But hers seem larger and longer than I expected so she might be an exception.
I probably should've mentioned mine also wade in a kiddie pool and have misters.
