I normally do too if I know I am going to be busy during the work week.  After getting a new phone I had not set everything up yet including my BYC stuff means no checking the site during lunch.  Coming home has been cooking dinner, washing housework and finishing that off with all the animals.  All in time for me falling to sleep most nights on the couch.  Not much time for a tea and read up.

The stand is located on the East side of Indy (Just north of 10th st on Post Rd).  I will most certainly post pictures at some point... Maybe

On that note, anyone local to the stand who wants to take some soft vegetables (not moldy, just stuff people will not buy, bruises etc) for their chickens you are welcome to it.  Mine have been eating cabbage, squash and strawberries this entire week.  Hate to throw the stuff out.  We normally send our unsold after the weekend food to the local food pantry, but setting up for the first few weeks is a daily thing for now until we are established. 
Have lots of tomatoes that have some flat wrinkle spots on them, would be good for salsa and canning.  Just do not have the time to do so right now.

I am not super familiar with the Lavender Orpington breeds so I am not sure how soon the combs would be red if they were roosters.

I suspect the three cochins are all girls. Small combs little redness to the edges.

how old are they? pictures 3 and 4 sure look like girls to me. Picture 5 does too but the ones like her that I got in my pan fry deal, also don't have big combs so I' don't want to get your hopes up.

These are the ones I got from Brad..

I think, if my calculations are correct.. the Orps are about 10-12 weeks and the Cochins 10 ish

Boy, boy, girl, girl, girl, I think.

Not real sure about the cochins.

After looking at more and more pictures of Lavender Orpingtons... I am getting a sinking feeling the Orpingtons might be boys.
As they look identical to each other... what ever one is, the other will be.
If all my Cochins turn out to be boys... Well I might have to commit some kind of random act of violence.... Wonder if there is a pillow in the spare room I can strangle....

Its the most scary day. It is so hard to put them outside. I had tears when I moved the original flock out, I was so afraid for them. Its ok to go out and check, I did it a LOT. I still go out there several times a night, and just peek in to see they are ok. Be glad when we get the camera setup in. The coop looks awesome, nice job! I bet they love it

Very nice! They will have plenty of room too. how exciting!

Thanks! now I just need some chicks to put in lol, I wish it was saturday lol.
