Hello everyone, We are new to the chicken world. We had 3 chickens that were eaten by raccoons (sussex, wyandotte, and americauna) . We now have 8 chicks and a coop that will be coming from farmnyard this week. We have all hens.... buff orpington-Sunny, blue andaulasian - Wilbur, barred rock - Blackie, white rock - Dori, new hampshire red - Ruby, black australorp - Callie, light brahma - Penny, americauna - CB (stands for coon bait, my husbands humor). Chickens are the best pets I've ever had! Mom to 3 boys and 1 daughter, a blue heeler, and wife to an amazing hubby
Welcome Smalltownchicks, sorry to hear that you lost 3 chickens. Hopefully your new coop will be safe from raccoons. We have two blue heelers. Love, love, love those dogs. Nice chicken names too. good luck with your new flock!
We named all 11 of ours too! My husband named one of ours Fryer Tuck. He also named Thor, Optimus Prime, and Try-N-Fly. I named Jasper, Esme, Pokeyhontas, Beakman, Little Ann, Pepper and Checkers. So far their names fit them well!
