Hello all so happy to have joined this wonderful family

Hello and welcome to BYC We are happy you have joined our community. We love pictures if you want to share.

I am a Brit living in Sardinia (Italy). Got my ladies and their gentleman about a year ago. I had a bird phobia for nearly 50 years till I got them( I’m 60 and have wasted so many years of having chickens ) I have now even incubated my 11 “teenagers” who are now about 11 weeks old. Got 2 newly hatched yesterday and hopefully a few more on their way.

My ladies are 1 Australop, 3 Brahmas(1 light and 2 Buff) and 8 “rescue” from a nearby poultry farm. My Gentleman Roo is an Ayam Cermani given to me by the man who sold me the Brahma and the Australop. My teenagers are all half Ayam’s 3 have feathery legs so I’m assuming they are half Brahma.I’m still trying to guess their sex. Of the two new chicks 1 up to now is from an egg that my ladies layed and 1 is from an olive green egg that was one a few different eggs a couple of friends gave me that I haven’t got an idea what they could be.... so if they hatch they will be surprises. The one that already has hatched is a pretty little thing.

just nipped out and took a couple of photos of the teenagers and their father and some of what could be mothers (haha it's crazy, I know who the father is but the mother is unknown). Two Brahmas that are brooding for a couple of weeks but have no eggs under them and one of the 2 new chicks just put in the brooder.
