So many of you post good pics of your chickens--mine never pose as I want them to.

Anyhow, here are pics of my white polish hen (reserve continental at Bloomington Saturday--brag, brag

) and a WCB bantam pair. The WCB pullet was reserve AOCCL; meant a lot to me because I lost her mother, my favorite, about 2 weeks ago.

Beautiful birds! Congrats on the win too

Cluck, love that furniture! Vicki I really like the couch too, but man is that heavy looking!

Love the idea... the multi building with names is very quaint.
DH and I work in construction so I too had visions of some beautiful mansion. Not quite how it looked when it was done I can tell you. After counting the chickens yesterday I decided I am going to spend some time over the next few weeks building a couple of tractors to seperate some of my breeds. He is not allowed to have any input what so ever.

It is amazing what you can do with some trim wood and paint if it does not quite make the desired finish.

Glad your DH is being supportive though, that helps

Edited to add this picture... I bet it looks alot better than this

^^^wow. I'm not sure paint can help that very much. However, we all know our bird brain chickens don't care, as long as they have shelter.

I am loving this, what a great use of pallets... Can always add the round wooden wire spools as side tables
Going to show DH this later.

He saw a picture of a sofa carved out of the side of a dead tree.. he is liking that too. I told him I was not helping him man handle that into the yard.
I can not find the picture, but this is close enough.

I hope my DW doesn't see the pallet furniture! I'll have another project after the coop. Not sure about the indoor tree carving for furniture. Outside, yes.

I would guess Cuckoo Maran or possibly Black Langshan. REALLY leaning toward Cuckoo Maran though. Totally just a guess.

Hi! We're new on here....just trying to get the hang of this!

Welcome. What I've learned is, don't leave this thread alone for more that a few hours, or you will have a LOT of catching up to do.

What kind of fowl are you raising?

Had to share a pic for the day

Great picture! Looks very happy roosting there.

I posted these on the cochin thread, but I had to share them with all of my indiana peeps. They are getting so jurassic. lol!

Wow some funny looking chicks. Love the feathered legs, and the look on their faces is like, ''what are you looking at????''

Look! It's some newbie chicken people above!

Some pictures of the beginning of the run build:


We decided instead of burying the run wire 2 feet down (digging in very
hard clay soil) that we will lay it out 2 feet horizontally about 6 inches under.
Way easier this way, and the first 2 feet tall will be doubled. 2x4welded
and1/2'' hardware cloth. So far, very secure. Beer caps are cheaper
than washers to attach. Hope to get it all done this weekend.



Hard to believe they are only 6.5 weeks old, everyone said how fast
they grow but wow!


Look at the fast one running in this picture below. We are wondering
if we somehow got a bantam in with the mix of pullets we bought from
TSC, she is half the size of her chick mates.

Too many awesome pictures! I need to get my first bunch out and get some more chicks in now!!! I'm HORRIBLE at chicken math because I seem to not be counting the roos at all and feel like I only have a handful of chicks when I bought a dozen....need more hens!!

Mine are going through that phase too. Yours are looking good!
