In the Brooder
Im in Illinois. This is my 2nd year of chickens. Last year I started with 6 all different breeds. 1 didn’t make it after a couple weeks. I got the rest outside in my backyard in a small coop. A fox got 4 of them before they even started laying. I had one ISA Brown left. Got 2 maran mixes from a farm to keep the one company. Bought a farm in September. A hawk got Brown in November. Marans are laying but small eggs. Now it’s spring (almost) My flock of newbies includes 4 barred rocks, 2 browns, 2 amberlinks, 2 americana, 3 sapphire gems (1 I suspect is a Roo), 1 buff, 1 astralorp, 1 brahma. Oh and 2 Rhode Island red. So it will be an exciting year.
