Long time lurker, first time posting

[N F C]

Thank you all for the warm welcome. My setup is small as I’m on a budget.

I keep the Chickens separated by age. The older ones are 18 months old, 6 Hens and one rooster. They reside in a run and coop that I built.

The “middle” coop and run houses 8 “Easter Eggers”, all hens, 5 months old. Got our first egg from these hens this past weekend.

In the last enclosure that I made. I have 4 golden comets, 3 hens and.1 rooster.

Finally, I made a pallet broody box for a broody Buff who was part of the first flock. They turned on her several times and she almost died from their pecking. Against my wife’s wishes, I kept here alive in her own pallet enclosure. She healed beautifully. When she finished recovering, I decided she needed some company (as she was very broody). We stuck a couple fertile eggs under her and a few weeks later she hatched a chick. The other fertile egg was discovered cracked open next to her with an underdeveloped and deceased chick.
Mom and chick are happy and healthy and she’s holding 2 more eggs that should be hatching this week .
Here is Misfit and her chick. Chick is unnamed and is a cross of Rhode Island Red mama and Silver Wyandotte roo.

Very Happy you decided to de-lurk and share a bit of your world with us!

Thank you everyone for the warm welcome.

My first update is on the first chick hatched here by our buff Misfit. Again, this is not her chick but she hatched it for us while she was segregated.
Yesterday was 30 days since it hatched.

Our Golden Comet rooster is getting big, already wooing and getting his share of the 3 hens in his spot.

Easter Eggers have begun to put out little eggs. Only brown ones so far. Maybe 3 of the 8 are laying. I think this gray one staring me down is the leader lol
