New to the site, and new to chickens, but loving it! Thank you BYC members, I am in East Tennessee and I am excited to find this thread! look forward to making some contacts! We are working on Silkies blue gene, Ameracauna, liking the Lavendar now and Silver Spangeled Hamburg! We are looking for breeding quality frizzels males and females, or maybe eggs. Also the polish, looking for white crested blues, both hens and a roo and or eggs as well. I know a lot of people are

Welcome, ilvmychickens! Sounds like you've got a lot of projects. I know there are some silkie and polish people here. Hope you find what you're looking for.

No predator this morning. While I was sitting out there waiting I did hear what I think was two of my boys. There were hushed little bwok sounds coming from two different directions. I put out a couple of waterers in the general areas, but I'm hoping hunger motivates them to show their faces.
 
Pictures of chicks, new coop with chick and flock.

This is hen with older chicks she hatched. One male and one female.

Flock ranging without moms.


This is not the rooster of the chicks. This is Beta. Alpha was killed trying to protect a hen and he is the sire of the chicks.
 
OK. Fine! LOL!!!


I'm going out right now and getting a good picture of Gus... and the Del girls... and the Coro Sussex pullets and roos - I'm really bad about following through with pictures! I get a ADD attack and forget!
 
OK. I got the pictures but the same cord to upload them to my computer is the same cord I use for my PS3 (and blueray player in one) AND I'm starting Food INC and will upload in a moment... then crop my dirty yard out as best I can... then post here.

And for the sake of being a good sport I'll make my avatar Gus... but only temporarily!! No offense, but no one tops my Elvis boy in my eyes.

CONTRAST:

Here is two Coro Sussex just a bit older than yours. First picture is a pullet, second is a cockerel. I got to admit... I wanted to make a joke about them being "contrast photos" Get it?! LOL

Gus sure is a handsome guy. He KNOWS it too, doesn't he? The girls look great. They weren't nearly that red when they were here. I like the Coronation. They look like they'd be just the kind I like, big and fluffy.

And... shhhh... Don't worry. We won't tell Elvis about the avatar...
