Thanks for the POW! Watching these ladies, it's easy to understand why scientists theorize that dinosaurs evolved into birds. They are VERY dino-like in expression and mannerism. (Never would have guessed chickens would remind me so much of birds of prey!)
My new babies arrived today! I have no idea what any of them are, though I think three are some type of Polish judging by the bouffant down caps. :) Suggestions are welcome! Possible breeds include: Ancona, Easter Egger, Andalusian, Wyandotte, Dark Cornish, Delaware, Dominique, Jersey Giant...
Hi everybody! I'm the proud tender of 4 Hubbard Brown pullets - 17 weeks old today- and I'm AMAZED how grown up they look compared to the scruffy, half-fledged little girls I brought home 14 weeks ago. I've also got 3 other younger ladies (now 7 weeks), one (probably) Easter Egger, one Ancona...

After researching and ruminating another year away--- I FINALLY got my pullets. I started with 4, obtained yesterday. I got impatient waiting on my local TSC to get pullets (can't take a chance on getting a roo), so I found a lady nearby that had some for sale. They're already 3 weeks old, so...
I already feel like I've learned a LOT. I want to start on a coop before I bring any chicks home, even though I know they won't need it for a few months until they're feathered and it's warmer. Thanks for the warm welcome, folks. Looking forward to continuing to learn!
Hi everybody!
No chickens yet, which is why no profile photo. My name is Jamie. I have a lot of critters, hence the screen name. Been awhile since I've had any birds, and then it was only a dove. (He was awesome. I miss him.) Been thinking about chicken-keeping for a couple years now...
