My Brother just finished our girls new home today, they are spending their first night out of the garage. They usually spend the days outside in the run a.nd their nights in the garage. I'm a nervous Mother hen, my babies are growing up
We just got our first little babies! They are about 7 wks old, and everyone already thinks we are crazy or wierd " They are just chickens" NO! They are my babies:) When I started this little venture ( we only have 7 so far) little did I know how I would fall in love with these fun little...
From what I understand you can't really tell with Silkies and Sizzles until they lay an egg or start to crow, I have 2 of each and am waiting to find out they are only about 8 weeks old.
Hit send to soon.
1silkie: Baby
2 sizzles: Dusty and Frizzy
the reason we named the silkie, baby? When we brought them home and put them with the ones we had for a week already the bigger ones chased the new ones into the corner and Baby ran out chirping, as she was the smallest one I said"...
We have 7, the original 4 from the feed store.
2 americana: Mary and Connie
1golden sex link: Buffy
1 silkie ( I don't think so) Ruffles ( fitting because I think she is a he)
then a week later we drove 140 miles round trip to get a 1 silkie and 2 sizzles
7 total. 2 silkies, 2 sizzles, 2 ameracuanas and last but not least 1 golden sex link, they are all chicks at this point, just starting our adventures in backyard chicken.:)
We Just got 4 little fuzz heads, they are in the brooder and as cute as all get out. The other 4 legged critters don't know what to think. Happy to be starting our adventures in backyard chickens.
