I own a small flock of 3 Buff Orps and 3 Golden Laced Wyandottes. They are my babies and I would do almost anything to save them from danger!!
I will start with some random pictures.
This is where they live. The pic is from this past summer but it hasn't changed much since except that I store their food inside now after a raccoon came a feasted. Lesson learned.

Kiwi, a wonderful BO. This pic is also from the summer. She is a very good egg layer.

Dazzle, a well loved GLW. Also a great egg layer.

Stopping in to say hi! Great pictures! On my way to see my girls and boys.

Hi! Here are some pics. This is Delilah all grown up, the chick in my avatar. I hatched her.

Can't wait @ValerieJ!

@MGG - Very pretty chickens! Do you free range?

I have no chicken pictures right now lol. But this is Bella, my muscovy.

This is Olly, my disabled duck. (His brother Echo can be seen lol)

@cluckmecoop7 , I only free range when I can supervise. I did find out something interesting, when I got my rooster the hens never left the yard, but when I got rid of him they started to wander and they were all the way across town. Then when my little boy grew up and I let them out with him, they stayed in the yard. I don't know why, but thought it was neat. Thank you, I do think they're pretty. Yours are too.

Wonderful pics everybody! It's night and I promise I'm about to pass out, but I'll get some pics of my chicks (see what I did there ) sometime soon

Ok, I just wanted to know if they got some free time like mine because we both have a small(er) run and it's not nice to pen them up. This is Dazzle (front) and Melody (back).
