    Our Coop 14

    After browing all the BYC forums, scouring the internet, and planning and replanning, we finally had a design. We decided to build an 8 x 12 shed with a 12 x 16 x (5 or 6) run. We thought we would get started on Saturday May 9, beautiful weather, no soccer games, plan complete... Then we found...

    The Great Chicken Adventure It all started sitting around a bonfire with some friends watching their chickens last fall.... This Spring I got the itch! This is the original group of ladies (we hope!). We picked them up on March 29th, I think they were 4 or 5 days old. I knew I wanted Easter...

    Black Copper Marans?????

    In the picture marked "today" they are almost 6 weeks old. I'm going to try to get some more pics, because another one that I THOUGHT was a roo, MAY not be LOL. The one in question isn't in these pics, and has a comb like the roo, but it's lighter and hasn't grown lately... I'll try to get...

    Black Copper Marans?????

    Well I didn't really think they were BCM to begin with, so I'm fine I was thinking they were some sort of bantam mix (and I got them for free), so I'm totally good with it. They're really sweet and they are beautiful, so I'll just have to get more chickens so I get my dark eggs Like that's...

    Black Copper Marans?????

    Quote: If these are BCMs, I feel incredibly lucky! Funny part is, I've been looking for marans or welsummers so I could have dark eggs, not having any idea they might already be in my coop. They do have feathers on their feet. I have two with the combs and wattles and one without. I...

    Black Copper Marans?????

    Is there any chance that these are black copper marans? I posted them before to try to find out what they were, thinking they might be a cochin or cochin mix. The lady I got them from told me they were about 3 weeks old which would make them almost 6 weeks old now (I think they are older)...

    Silkies, Black Cochins?, and some other bantams? Updated pics

    Ok, here's a close up of one of the silkies. It's got brown on the cheek area, and a striping to the feathers on the back (they are about 3 weeks btw). It's color looks mostly grey. There are two others that are much darker, so I think they are going to be black (is that possible genetically...

    Silkies, Black Cochins?, and some other bantams? Updated pics

    I'll try to do that tonight Thanks! She may have had some other bantams running around. She inherited them when a friend passed away and wasn't sure exactly what she had. I'm just guessing based on what she said and what I actually saw... I wasn't familiar with the Mille Fleur before we...

    Our coop has begun..Update with pic

    It doesn't feel fast! We've been working for 3 weekends and several evenings, around rain and the kids activities...I think if we could get one day where it's nice and we don't have to do ANYTHING else, we could get almost done with the structure. I'm still not sure what we're going to do...
