I always love seeing your flock and hearing about each of them! I hope your Brahma is a Roo!
It was a big day outside for us... Lots of mowing and cleaning and hopefully we didn't over do it.
But here's a video of the babies... We have too many predators for them to play outside just yet... Big water trough helps give them room to play though
It was finally dry enough to clean the stalls, front one complete the second is done-ish, will need to go back over it again later but the heat was getting to us. To do the young ones' area we let them out to run around for awhile... But I got video of them before I shooed them out completely.
The girls are clingy, was looking for roo but ppl don't seem to be honest on temperament and it looks like I might have a light Brahma roo so I'm gonna wait. I had to put scratch out to keep the girls from following me.

This is Jerk and Face... My kids named them after their attitudes. They got relocked up when they went psycho... I'm seeing if I can't find a family near me want them.

Breakfast time means to literally get into itI'm hoping my manhandling will keep them sweet.
How many chickens do you have right now?
I heard incubating is addicting
That's so fun you have mnay different breeds too! They are all so unique
I love the videos and pictures! Your flock is very pretty. Hopefully the Light Brahma is a roo
it really is... the problem is that you dont realize how many you get till you're all of a sudden covered in baby chicks and your hubbie (in my case) is telling you to slow down.
They are indeed! and when you start with many different breeds you slowly learn your favs and which ones gravitate towards more.
I'll have to see if i can't go out and take a few pics of my light brahmas i have today, I have 4 and seriously, it's hard to tell. But yeah i'm hoping so too!
Let's see....
Adult flock: i have 12 girls right now.
Young Ones: we tried doing a head count yesterday and counted 27 but then i have the two roos in "time out" so thats 29.
Babies: I have 8 babies that are getting their feathers in and will be ready for the barn in a few weeks.
Incubating: I currently have 11 eggs in the incubator that will hopefully hatch on Sunday! (they are 100% brahmas from my splash roo that passed away and my two adult girls, a columbian buff and a splash girl)
sooo.... about 50
We have a farm and so we grow out for those that don't have a good set up and just want hens, we sell eggs, and we also sell to families that just need some dinner. I love all my chickies, and make sure they are happy and healthy and go to homes that are good to them.
That's so awesome! Sounds like you have your hands full. Thats great you run an operation like you do. I'm sure families really appreciate it.
I can't wait to see what your new Brahmas will look like! Definitely going to need to see pictures
