Welcome. I just love the names you chose.Hi all!
My name is Rose and I am new to this forum! I have had chickens on and off my entire life and right now I have two 4 year old hens and 9 almost 6 week old chicks! My chickens have always had a special place in my heart and they are beloved backyard pets.
I definitely plan on consulting this forum on the sexes of my polish chicks, any issues that come up, and just build community with fellow chicken lovers!
Here are the deets on my floral flock:
Adult hens:
- Dahlia, Jubilee Orpington
- Cruella, White Crested Black Polish
Almost 6 week old chicks:
- Stormy, Blue Splash Polish
- Jewel, Swedish Flower Hen
- Ducky, Easter Egger
- Mizz Frizz, Frizzled Mottled Cochin Bantam
- Dr. Clucktens ("Doc"), Black Polish
- Muffin Top, Black Polish
- Iris, Easter Egger
- Amber, Easter Egger
- Dora, Silver Laced Polish (first to be voted off the island as he started crowing at 4 weeks old)
Thank youWelcome to Backyard Chickens. This is a great place to explore and hang out
Thank youWelcome. I just love the names you chose.
Thank youWelcome to BYC, Rose. I'm sorry about Dora. Are you not allowed to have roosters there?
That's great! I'm glad he will have a place to go. I'm sure its a relief to you knowing he has a spot there.Thank youUnfortunately roosters are prohibited in my city
Luckily the couple I bought the dozen eggs from outside the city are happy to take back in any roosters into their flock.
