And then there are the Marans, hatched from shipped eggs. Three of the four cockerels and two of the pullets. They are so hard to take photos of!

I am particularly keen on this one. She's just growing a new tail in the moment.

So here are a few of my favorite young pullets.

Last spring, all but Orp 1 and the RIR went broody, and hatched varying amounts of chicks. Here are a few pics Things got a little out of control rather quickly! The most I had at any one time was 72, I 'think'!!

Around the same time the BOs and SS were growing up I also had two of Mrs. Sussex's daughters growing up. This is one of them This was last Autumn, so just under a year ago. After that, up until last spring, numbers were quite stable, except for some cockerels that I harvested. I do just want...

Thats solid. I wonder if Mister Doodle will get that heavy?

Thank you, in the moment he's looking the best he has for the last year. I think he must be trying to impress is ladies!

@Shadrach he weighs 4kg going by the scales I used, I'm not sure how good they are.

Thats a good idea!

At this point I'm starting to get a bit mixed up with what happened in what order (chicken math strikes!) but the first light Sussex hen (Chicky-pie) went broody, but none of the eggs hatched. Not wanting her to have been sitting for so long to no avail, we got her six 3 week old chicks from a...

George, whose mother was the Cuckoo Orp (or Orp 1, as she is known) just stood out from the rest as a cockerel. Very independent, big and brave, and never showed any signs of sneaky behaver. Just a little high spirited when he was a teen. I kept him on his own for a bit as he grew up, and then...

I don't, he's pretty solid but doesn't really like being handled very much so I try to limit it. I could weigh him sometime if you like.

Than Mrs. Sussex, as I called the Coronation sussex, went broody. Of the chicks she hatched I still have three (the others were cockerels that went to freezer camp) There is this Light Sussex a light Sussex x RIR hen who I don't have a photo of handy, and George, who is a very handsome rooster...

I thought I would start a my flock thread, so here it goes. My very first chicken was Mister doodle, a Light Sussex Cockerel. Great choice, I know, starting with a 6 month old cockerel, but it actually worked out great! He is now around 2 and a half years old. On the same day we got him (but a...
