    I didnt know my hen was broody

    Ok as promised here are my fuzz butt babies. Only three hatched but I'm thrilled to have them. The photos also give a better idea of what Torie looks like. She's definitely an EE but I'm thinking maybe Brahma mixed in?

    I didnt know my hen was broody

    I had never heard of a Nankin but I looked them up and yes, I have to agree with you Cache looks very much like one. The woman I bought Cache and Torie from has over 50 breeds of chickens. I'll have to ask her if she has any Nankin in her stock. She has some of the most beautiful chickens...

    3 CHICKS now only two left to hatch. Keeping my fingers crossed. Torie finally let me know that I was not welcome in the nursery with a sharp strike of her beak when I went to check on chick number three. The first chick was up and around when I went out and immediately ran over to me. It...

    OMG! Thank you so much for all the wonderful information. I'm so nervous and excited that I might have my first chicks any day now. Torie is either a Buff Orpington or Brahma. I'm not sure which, I'll send photos. I'm afraid to touch one of her eggs for candling. Torie and her roo Cache...

    How old to free range??

    I have seven free range 2 1/2 month olds. I bought them in March as chicks and since we live in Houston (its warm all year) they immediately went outside during the day into a large wire cage. There was plenty of room for them to play all day and to enjoy the spring grass. At night, I would...
