I Got MORE Chickens !!!! , I'm totally addicted (pics)

[Laurena]

So we decided to get a few (in as three) more hens . After much searching I finally found a lovely gentalman selling some 20 week old pullets about a hour away from us . So we drove out there and they were just beautiful , so I ended up coming home with six . That's double . I've completely lost my mind I tell you .



Anyway , the new girls are home and getting settled in nicely .

I'm a little unsure what breed they are . Any ideas ?

I would agree with sexlinks. Comets, Cinnamon Queens - something like that.
Your in luck, theyre great egg layers.
You take some lovely pics. very nice. Im making a few of them my new desktop pics!

Yep, those are sex links, and they'll lay almost every day for you.

Have they been de-beaked or is it just me - their top beak looks like my ex-bats?

Those're some beautiful girls you have there, i'm glad they've come to a nice home with someone who obviously cares about them

Sometimes, people sell pullets for all the wrong reasons. I sincerely hope that isnt the case here.....

They are beauties.

Debeaked ? I'm not really sure what that is ?

What do you mean ?

The guy that sold them to me was having predator problems and was loosing a couple chickens per day so he decided to sell them off before they all got killed . He's going to rebuild his coop and run and just start over with new birds .

I got them from a small hobby farm .​

Yep - look just like our red sex-links too - very nice hens and great layers! Debeaking is when they trim the top beak to discourage pecking.
