Chicks are 21 days old. They grow so fast!! All 26 had a couple hours of play time and their first time outside in the "BoneYard". This gave me a chance to clean out the brooder. I think the dogs are used to them already. They just sat there and watched the chicks peck around. Fun, Fun!!
OK it's been driving me crazy trying to figure out the breed of my chicks so here goes. I have a mix of 15 brown egg layers, 4 RR females, 2 Ancona females, 2 Araucana (EE) females, 2 RR roosters, 1 Araucana Rooster and a mystery chick. These pictures should help.

Since there are so many reality TV shows on like Amish Mafia, Swamp People, Gold Rush etc, I would love to see a show like Chicken People or something to the like. Having a show about all aspects of the chicken addiction! I could see the content being from the Hatcheries to us backyarders. It...
