The difference a week makes! These birds are from two different breeders. Can’t wait to see how they grow out!

No, just first chicks of this type!!

We probably had 100+ birds at one point. Eventually narrowed our flock down to a really great line of Bresse - but between raccoons and foxes, we gave up to the massacres. Now we're building a new coop/run on the opposite side of the property. Closer to the house, and away from the barn where the predators notoriously hangout.
