I told myself that I wouldn't do this until I hit a specific milestone. I hit that milestone today!
For a little context, I have wanted chickens for almost a decade at this point. Back in 2018 I even had a friend that was moving and was willing to sell...
I have 4 barred rock chicks bought from TSC as straight run.
First will be one group shot here:
The rest of the pictures are attachments. Birds 1, 2, and 3 all have two pictures, bird 4 only has one because it was being a butthead and didn't want to show off the legs.
The colors I used for...
I know these aren't the greatest shots, I did what I could.
The darker colored one in the back is the one I'm curious about because she doesn't look like the 3 other Ameraucanas (only one other is in that picture)

This was the basic framework for the structure itself.
Here is the final progress that was made today...
Thanks for having me!
(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
I've been researching for years but finally got 8 chicks yesterday (~3 week olds, 4 Rhode Island Reds and 4 Amerauanas)
(2) How many chickens do you have right now?
See above answer LOL
(3) What breeds do you...
