Okay...I heard
Black Australorp
Marans

I know the gal I got them from had clean leg marans at the time. I have looked at the BA photos and I thought she looked a lot like those too at the various stages.

I think I need to email her and see if she may have had any BAs at the time.

Hello everyone! Its nice to see other people from Indiana on here. I'm new to chickens. Just six weeks in lol. I have 4 silver laced wyandottes. Two bantam cochins, one black, one partridge. Two bantam brahmas, one light, one buff. Two standard blue cochins, one light, one dark. They are all babies still. 5 dogs, 4 alpacas, 2 parakeets..... and a partridge in a pear tree ;-) Im in NE Indiana.

Welcome to the thread, glad you've joined us!

Welcome kabhyper! Your coop might not seem so large when your 12 chickens grow up! Nice coop!! I was the same way about my cockerels-- I specified that each one had to go to a good home and could not be used for food. ha Of course, you never know what will happen, but I felt like they found good homes. People seem to like young roosters who aren't as aggressive as older ones, but that's just what I was told.

Leahs Mom~ I meant to mention the last time that you posted some individual photos of your Swedish Flower Hens that it was nice to see them individually. I hadn't realized how pretty and unique they are because when I've seen group photos, it's difficult to distinguish each one. I'll take the orange one. haha

Chicks in Hats~ I ran across this site and thought these were pretty funny. The photographer makes cards, magnets, jewelry, etc. from her images. There were other hats, too.

Thats too cute!

Here are my Swedes today....14 Weeks.


Gray



Orange





Rooster Boy


And a camo photo
Where's waldo? (All 4 are in there.)

Their colors are just striking! Beautiful!

Thanks! Yes we are in the coop building process. My Husband decided it needed to be huge lol!

This is Olive. She is by herself because she injured herself. She ran into a fence last Saturday. Sunday she wouldn't walk. Monday her left foot was tucked and toes curled, Tues her left foot was better but the right foot was curled (I know weird), Wed she was on the mend, not liking to be held as much and eating like a pig. I gave her vitamins, electrolites, aspirin, drench, crumbled egg yolk and cottage cheese, could have been a vitamin deficiency, not sure but today both feet are flat again and she is walking around with just a slight limp. Must have bruised herself good.

These are my little guys. Just over a week old.

My other older ones. Thinking The light brahma is a roo, and the right hand side wyandotte is also a roo. Pretty sure the others are hens. If I have too many roos, I will give them away, as long as they don't go for meat.
Sorry for so much info.

so precious

Holy moley, this will be the worst case of chicken math I have had to deal with yet... Is the 4 week one just a single guy? If he is all by himself I could probably make room for him too

Had another turkey egg today... sitting on the kitchen side.. So excited.. Might make 4 by Wednesday after all. Heard they were a little more difficult to hatch than chicken eggs. Hope they go well.

Its terrible isn't it! (NOT!)
Good luck with the turkey eggs! Poults are a little harder to raise I found out, but I haven't tried to hatch any yet.
