Two of my roosters Prince and Zues

Seem to have fallen out with each other this morning
Zues was chasing Prince around in circles when I let them out.. lol
It’s weird because Prince has always been the more dominant rooster
They’re probably just re-establishing a pecking order.

Thanks for tagging me!

So intro: my name is Monica. Im a stay at home mom turned chicken carer. Last March my then 5 yr old son was obsessed with chickens, we thought it a phase....nope! We finally caved and got him 12 chicks. He loved them, cuddled them, took them on adventures, and got me hooked too! We've rehomed and added since then, but my kiddo has a special bond with all our chickens. He can run and play and they follow him and want his attention, even our big rooster!

I don't like birds, but I have to say this adventure with chickens has changed my tune a bit. At the start of fall we had 18 chickens, we now only have 13 grown ups. A coyote and neighbor dog have been sneaking girls. . So we tried ordering chicks and got all roosters, but chick days started and I now have 17 babies, 3 four month olds we hatched, and our 13 adults. Waiting for the ground to dry a bit before finishing up the new large run.

Here's some pics!

All the babies: OE, Giants, BR, Comets, and Orps.

Our big boy Toasted. He's a sweety!

His three babies I was able to hatch. Two OE mix males and one cinnamon queen mix girl.

All our remaining girls. It's been raining almost nonstop till this morning, so everything is a mess!

Hello and welcome to my chat thread
I’m making another one of these because the last one Went a bit silent and I was starting to talk to myself... Am I really that boring??

Allow me to introduce myself.
I live in Ireland.
I have 30 chickens, 27 Brahmas, blue buff columbian, golden partridge, blue partridge and lemon Pyle are their colours, I could go through them all individually but I wouldn’t want to bore you..,1 RIR, 1 buff Orpington and 1 buff Orpington mix.
only had around 10 chickens at the beginning of last year but I became a bit of a Hatchaholic.. it was around 50 at one stage ...
The plan was to breed them but they ended up getting a respiratory illness so now I’ve decided to keep them as a closed flock. Which is kinda what I was going to do anyways because no one was buying the roosters and I just had so many.
15 ducks, the colours are magpie, Rouen, khaki and a few mixed. 10 Guineas, 2 cocker dogs, 2 rabbits 2 cats View attachment 2041209

some of my favourite hobbies other then caring for animals are garden design, interior design, painting and sculpting...

My cottage garden.
the garden consists of plants that attract butterflies and bees such as butterfly bush/ buddleia , sedum, delphinium, Ligularia dentata, red and yellow broom, sunflowers, petunias, bleeding hearts, montbretia and a few others

I like to grow sunflowers every year because they are beautiful plants, they’re great for wildlife and they put a smile on everyone’s face.
