Awkward teenage phase.
And of course I don't have his beautiful filled out pic! Lol! Ok ..suspense will kill you all I know!! But big boy pics to come in the morning! I have to show him off!!
Yes it's pouring outside but I promised pics! They aren't the best but you can see his colouring, comb and girth quite well!
Here is our Ferdinand meeting our girls for the first time!
@Evewon ~ Welcome to the Indiana Thread!
Love your coop and decor! My daughter lives in Indy and has a black pug puppy.

Here is our Ferdinand meeting our girls for the first time!
A little at myself, too! I just noticed the feed we've been buying for the girls for a few weeks now has been medicated! 
Is TSC the only place in the area that caries a non-medicated all-flock feed?! The real kicker is that the only difference between the labels on the medicated and non-medicated feed bags is a little strip of red on the ingredients label.
Wait till the chickens get a little bigger. Then you might have trouble finding Ferdinand in the mix. That's how it is when I let my chihuahua out in the yard with the chickens. Most of them are bigger than Peyton. But they all seem to just mind their own business. It's quite funny when I throw treats ( scraps) in the yard becuase Peyton is right in the middle of all the chickens trying to get hers.
[COLOR=13598B]Hi there, we're Shane and Courtney from Indianapolis. We got our 8 sweet girls in June and are nearly finished with our coop. We were excited to see an Indiana thread here! Here's a pic of some of our girls and our coop. We have 4 Ameraucanas (Vivienne, Mona, Opal, & Harriet), 2 Barred Rocks (Maude & Myrtle), a Buff Orpington (Agnes), and Ginger our Rhode Island Red.
I love that coop interior!! Beautiful job! 
I just wanted to say, though, your Ameraucanas are actually gorgeous Easter-eggers. I love the black one in the background of that second picture! The brown one in the same picture looks quite a lot like one of my Easter-eggers, Cressida, when she was younger.[/COLOR]
[COLOR=900000]We are for sure planning to go to the Lebanon show. I have sworn myself to not buy birds. (note to self, do not bring cages!) Chicken breeds, my most wanted breed is still the coronation sussex. It would be very hard for me to pass them up! I am still thinking hard about pheasant, but I would go with ringnecks... Its just the thought of a permit, another coop. But they are really interesting. I do want to look at them more if they are there. Maybe just bring one cage, hehehe
If I found the white or melanistic hybrid, I would probably bring some home. They are just beautiful birds. So, what time is good to go? This will be my very first time to attend a show, ever. And will be wearing my shirt! DH has about worn his out, he likes it.
See you there!

[COLOR=13598B]Isn't she, though?
And she was so patient with me when I was sewing that sweater on her. Such a sweetie! I would love to keep her as a house chicken if it weren't for 3 dogs and 4 cats that would love a small chicken snack. 
Speaking of her, I ended up taking that sweater off of her after all that work, but she seems so much happier now. Her feathers are opening up pretty well now, so hopefully she'll be pretty well covered when the temp drops again.[/COLOR]
