These are my "babies" at 3 months.

Awwww! I love them! SO cute, thanks for sharing!

Mine are about 5 months right now. I'll get some pictures tomorrow. My roo has matured so much in the six weeks since I posted that last picture and my pullets have grown a lot. No eggs yet from them, but they are getting combs and wattles now. !

Yes they were!! I have a 8 year old hen who still lays! Not everyday, but I get about 3 eggs a week from her!

That's amazing! I'm glad to know they can live that long and be healthy and productive.

They are really great! I also have a 8 year old wyandotte who I got 3 years ago with the hamburg hen. She aswell still lays but only once in awhile.

Here's a picture that I took today of mine. they're about 5 months old right now. I love them so much. They have great personalities! I never knew chickens could be so much fun.

That's awesome. We have thought about getting some Wyandottes in the spring. We want to get lots of different breeds, so choosing is HARD!
