Oh. And the ones in the post all died. Murdered by my next street neighbor's dogs who kept getting loose. I do have a bunch of new babies purchased October and hatched November.
My Sapphire Olive Egger is actually on top. At least it seems that way. My dark brahma is at the very bottom. The RIR's are near top though. And Cinnamon is the more nosey one of the two.
Those is our Brahma rooster. Aptly nicknamed Brahms. He loves cuddles, is super sweet and loving, and burrows into your neck or ear. Especially if your hair is down. Brahms is over a week old. Also loves peeping and talking to you.
Hey there Carolina fam! Thanks for the articles to look through :) I will definitely be taking notes and showing hubs all the chicken info. He did find a video on YouTube by Third Coast Craftsman called the "Ultimate Backyard Chicken Coop Build" and he likes the way it is done and wants...

These are the two Buff Orpingtons. They love to chill. One in the back is Chocobo. One closest to the camera is Feisty Girl (bc she is always trilling, kicking her wood shavings everywhere, and she loves pecking everything on you to check you out). They are around 2 weeks old. We bought them...
Oh no! The good news is our front yard is already fenced in. Basic fencing that may need some chicken wire ran around it (maybe?). Fence is about 3 feet tall. I def don't want predators eating my babies. Husband wants to build it instead of buy it too. He used to be a carpenter so at least we...
Hello there. I am a new chicken mom. We have 8 adorable baby chickens and are only about a week or so into our chicken raising. We have them in a large bin, with a brood lamp, food, and water (of course). Oldest chick is around 10 days old (we speculate), and the newest chick is around 3 or 4...
