Lucy likes hanging out on the deck.

The young ladies’ first day out in the yard! Of course the LEGHORNS were the first ones out of the pen! :wee:celebrate:ya:jumpy

The chicks are growing by leaps and bounds. They are about 7 or 8 weeks old (they were about a week old when I got them). And this month is my 4 year anniversary of having chickens! And my 4 year anniversary of being a member of BackYardChickens! We presently have 21 chickens, and 4 Muscovy...

I apologize, I never saw your post! We got this small coop at Tractor Supply, they have a few different styles. We like this for when we get new baby chicks who can’t be with the big chickens yet. It’s perfect for about four small chickens. It would be too small for them once they are adults...

The new chicks move into their little coop. THIS was happening in the brooder. Lol.

New peeps! Two white leghorns and two barred rocks Gracie loves peeps. She’s my peep-nanny.

They are all Muscovy ducks.

Second hatchings!

That is what I love most about it. They can grow up seeing the older flock members and all the comings and goings in the yard.

Here’s a peep update: Almost three weeks old

Well, it’s that time of year again. I have added these little cuties to my flock. They are Lavender Ameraucanas. There will be more blue eggs in my future.

Good morning! :celebrate

My stash from this morning: Look at the tiny one! Here it is again next to the largest one:

Most recent picture of our Mama with her four Littles. Sadly we just lost the solid white one to a hawk attack! We didn’t see that coming, and we are devastated. We finally got them secure from roaming stray dogs, and we were pretty happy with that. We weren’t expecting an aerial strike. RIP...

The chicks are growing up.

Good morning to you too. :frow

We spent three days building an enclosure for our ducks. The ones that loved to hang out at the neighbors pond. We had to bring them home because the neighbor is having a coyote problem and they were getting killed. :( There are sixteen so we brought them home in groups of five and six in a...
