Apparently it is nearly impossible to have a Chocolate Australorp. I know she is pure bred so It's not 100% impossible. Just getting anyone to believe it has been a challenge.

Funny how that works. She looks chocolate to me as well. Beautiful by the way.

Yikes so many posts!

What happened?  Did they get into their yard?  Do you have a fence to contain your flock?  Do you live in a city?  Is is loud roosters you have?  Sounds like a flying issue tho.  Must contain your chicks, and give your neighbor some eggs while saying sorry.

Yes they got into the mulch they just put down we are out in the country but in a row of long skinny lots so instead of staying safely on our 5 acres or our imediate neighbors they ventured two doors down. I have a pen for them that's 27X35 ish but only about 4.5 feet high so they're going over! I had to leave the poor things inside the coop all day today for fear they'd visit the neighbor while I was gone.

I use this over my run. I also have a 4' fence but this does a great job keeping them in. And it's cheap! http://www.lowes.com/pd_376916-2313...&pl=1&currentURL=?Ntt=bird+netting&facetInfo=

Ok Welcome to any new member, I sort of just skimmed through all 70 post I had to catch up on. I got back from Michigan a few hours ago. Dont get me wrong it was nice to go on vaction, but I do NOT like Mcihigan. Everyone I meant there was rude(not sayong everyone in or from mighigan is rude just the ones I meant except for one older guy) , maybve it was just where I was at but i didnt seen one corn field, and there was something else but I forgot while I was typing lol. My favorite thing there/ about Michigan was the seagulls (and you can find those in Indiana). I want some as pets, I couldnt catch one lol. I think the whole time I was there I feed a loaf of bread to them.Ok now that I am done complaining lol, I will post pics of some of my new chickens. Some of the pics are really crappy and I still dont have pics of my new EE and araucana, only my black pair of AMs.

Here are the is the pullet (still no name). I could get her to hold her tail up at first and then when I got her to hold her tail up she wouldnt stand up. I took the pics in a temporary pen instead of there actual pen too.









here is the cockerel (still no name). The pics of him are really bad quality. While I was trying to take pics he got loose and I posted the story on here. But anyways i took the pics of me holding him after and he wasnt very happy. When I hold him he sticks his neck feathers up at me, but I dont think he did in the pic.




he is really pretty my pics just really suck lol.

Kab- the pics are great!! All of them are very pretty and I think she looks brown too!!

Cccccccv- they look very pretty too!! So I don't have to look it up what are AMs? I can't keep track of all the abbreviations!!

 

[danand]

Ccccc- and I've always enjoyed Michigan. Maybe I was in a different area than you were. And I've always thought the State looked clean, if that makes sence? No crappy cars or junk sitting around people's houses, that kind of stuff. What are did you go to?
