Thank you for your welcome. I love seeing all the photos on the thread also and reading about all your different experiences keeping chickens and other animals. I learn a lot.

I had to take a photo as I have to admit I didn't find any candid picture of butts in my phone's storage 🙂.

They are truly lovely 💖💖💖
 
Hello to all followers of this huge wonderful thread and to @BY Bob who kindly invited me to participate.
I have something to confess...I've been silently lurking here for a while. I feel kind of guilty as if I had been spying 😁. I'm probably not going to post very often as this thread is already very dense, and I already ramble far too much on Shadrach ex-batts thread, but I did want to introduce myself and my chickens. I will feel more at ease to like or comment on some of your posts.

I am a french city gal that moved in summer 2019 to the country, in my partner's family old house in the prealps. In January 2020, we got six three months old ex-battery hens as livestock. They quickly became our new friends. Meet Blanche, Nougat, Caramel, Cannelle, Brune and Vanille.

Last December a farmer gave us a couple of bantams : a teenage awkward cockerel and a feral girl. Théo turned into a pretty bullying young rooster bigger than a bantam, Chipie stayed feral. Integration was a disaster but no one died and now they are more or less part of the flock.

I must add that we got two sibling barn kittens, Hibou and Tila, in November 2020 to solve a mice problem.
A year went by and they had become my partner's spoilt children.

Our next addition will be two ponies but we still have a bit of work to get our settings ready before that.
I've been way too long but at least I won't feel so creepy now when I read about all of you 😁. Have a nice Friday and week-end everyone.
What a lovely lot you have! It is hard to not get attached to our feather freinds, they are smart enough to hook us in, right @BY Bob ? Both Chipie and Theo are quite the lookers. (I happen to be slightly partial to Roos) And kitties! YAY!! Welcome to our thread...and share pics freely/often:D

Welcome you have a very lovely flock and pretty kitties. I can not wait to see the ponies when you get them. A couple of us have horses on here, I have 3. I would also love to see more photo's of your handsome boy. I will freely admit that while I love every single girl I have, my heart belongs to my boys.
 
I sat in the run for a while this afternoon. It's too hot for this time of year. The ladies made divots to lie in to cool off.

I have a container that I collect chicken treat stuff in. Banana peels, bits of greens, etc. One thing I thought they would LOVE is old maid popcorn kernels. Nope. Don't touch 'em. I thought they'd flip over corn, but I guess not.

Anyone have a treat that totally bombed?

Excellent bums! 🥰
 
My Magnolia has only 3 flower ☹️

Waiting to see whats up with the peaches and cherries.
Somehow it managed to snow while we were in Italy but not kill the apple blossoms. I don't know how but here they are when we returned home.
