I forgot, here's our new additions... 2 Black Copper Marans & 2 Prairie Bluebells. They're a little older now. (I haven't been as efficient taking pics with this group as I was the first. I'm told that's "normal", LOL.)
Well, our girls are now a year old and all are laying. We love them dearly. They also have a new coop, built by daddy. He's working on enlarging their run as they like my garden waaaaay too much! LOL Here are some new pics.
We're also adding black copper marans and prairie bluebells as soon as...
We got them from Murray McMurray. None of them are supposed to be "easter eggers"!? So, everytime someone twlls me this, it confuses me. We paid for pure breeds.
The girls are now 6 months old and 3 of the 4 are now laying! Yay!
The "ugly cute" stage.
4 months old.
I haven't gotten recent photos of all of them, yet.
Lulu was the first to lay. She's a Pearl White Leghorn. Her eggs are white.
Mala is supposed to be an Americauna. But her eggs are...
Well, the girls are now one month old. And we are head over heels in love! We're still wondering when the cute ugly stage happens, because we haven't seen it yet.
Miss LuLu loves attention and has decided blueberries are her favorite treat. She steals them from everyone and swallows them whole...
Moved the girls into their new brooder coop Monday. They are now outside in the insulated lean-to, safe from predators. They are absolutely loving the extra space and amenities. Got to make them some roosts yet and get the coop and run built.
New brooder 4' x4'
Getting their morning treat...
We moved the chicks (hatched 05/17/2020) to a bigger cage as they have already outgrown the brooder we had. It's a cage our Nanday Conure used years ago. We sat it in front of our parlor's picture window. They are loving it!
We are assuming they were born May 17th or 18th. So about a week. Today they have about four or five rows of wing feathers and you can finally see their tail feathers coming in. We are loving watching them grow!
Yesterday we gave them their first earthworm. Just a baby earthworm, as we don't...
I'm new to Backyard Chickens. And a new chicken Mama. We just got our first chicks on May 19, 2020. A friend ordered from Murray McMurray Hatchery and gave us four, of our choice.
We don't know their breeds. I'm still trying to figure that out. We are excited at the anticipation of finding out...
