Sorry you lost some of your chicks the weather hasn’t been very great over here either..hope it warms up soon! Can’t wait for summer so i can spend more time with the flock.
Online school is great! ill be finished this year in early may so ill be on my summer holidays then.😃
That is awesome! I'm so glad you are enjoying it! Summer chicken cuddles sound amazing!

Yeah weather seems to be on the fritz this year! A lady I just got hatching eggs from is on alert for a hurricane already this year! Normally this is a fall thing for our area.

Here are some pictures of my new flock! Soon to be growing with hatching eggs and baby chicks arriving this week and April 1st! 20210314_135251.jpg

And King Louie! We adopted him from a lady that couldn't keep him anymore. He's a gentleman, and he's starting to calm down. He got frost bite during the weather, but is healing beautifully 😍

Beautiful birds! best of luck with your hatch and new chicks! :jumpy😊
 
We got bunnies! We named our farm Chickens and Dumplings Farm, thinking we'd get sheep but never worked out. But now we have bunnies and it totally works!

Beautiful colours! 😊 Rex is one of my favourite breeds. I recommend putting a matt or some sort of fooring in their hutch as the wire bottom might cause sore hocks! 😃
Good luck with the Chochin eggs!

Wow! I could look at your pics all day. Looks like you have yourself a lovely Irish farm!! My husband is Welsh and the reason I am getting a couple Welsh Harlequin ducks. Ha ha. Our Caddy Shack comes from Cadwalader, the dragon on the Welsh flag, so I guess the ducks are thematic. I've got to make him feel a part of it all since we are in New York. Thank you for greeting me.
I’m from New York as well and have been looking for a welsh harlequin hen for a while. Would take duckling too if it could be sexed. Let me know if you can point me in the right direction!!
