Hi Wendy! Your Bonnie is a cutie! Your flock (from what I can see in your picture) looks like my layer flock - "I'll have one of everything please." Chickens make great yard art, lol.
Thanks! Yes! I have a sultan, a Polish cross if some kind, 3EE's, my faverolle, 2 unknown bantams (I think they may be Blue Andalusians! How crazy is that??? I have an egg in lockdown, so hopefully we'll find out for sure soon! My roo is black, my pullet is splash.) and my older red sexlink. Our LF roo Bob is new, but he is a cool looking mixed breed. Orange and gray barring all over.
I have had a lot of eggs hatching the last few days. FBCM's, Penedesencas, BBS Ameraucanas, blue orps. My bantam egg from my own flock (pre-Bob, so def fertilized by Darth Vader) and some hatch bantam Marans should start next.
I need to work on building some separate pens. I need to put a new roof on that old barn in the background of my pic. It's a nice solid building, but the old tin roof is leaking badly. Then I can easily put in some separate areas. I definitely need to separate my bantams. Bob almost killed Darth Vader, and I'm afraid he's going to crush one of my bantams one of these days. He's a huge roo for his age--5mos, but he especially likes my tiny splash bantam pullet, who only weighs 1.5lbs!!! And Darth isn't very happy about it. Or Bonnie. Bonnie is his favorite pullet. lol
I have a dozen eggs about to go into the bator from Kris Krauter's line. I've never seen any of these birds in my area and I'm so super excited to have them. I was being really picky though because I didn't want hatchery stock, and when I saw the pics of these birds I knew I had something special. Can't wait!! Will post pics when they hatch.
