Alright here we have the RIRs. I'm hoping for only one rooster, but I'm starting to wonder. The first is the one I've been calling Rudy, because I'm pretty sure he's a rooster The next one is spotty, because of spotty feathers. I think this is a pullet And finally is Chicken B, because Rudy is the smallest of them all, and Spotty is the largest of them all. I originally thought Chicken B was pullet, but now I'm starting to wonder... I have a video processing that shows all of them going about their business, including Chicken B's amazing cantaloupe balancing act. I'll post that later on. It's about 7 minutes long and shows them even better than the pictures. Also, Chicken B shows off it's amazing singing voice, AKA screeching at the camera .

Are you guys sure these aren't speckled sussex???

More cute baby goats!!

My son keeps hatching chicks. If anyone needs Bielefelders, Jubilee Orpingtons, Tolbunt Polish or Swedish Flower Hens let me know!! The boy has an obsession!!

Nice warmer weather today, but snow in the morning. Mother Nature needs to get a hormone patch, so her temp stabilizes.

Tolbunt Polish!

That's what I thought too, but SS have pink legs.

Welcome to the newcomers!

Love the cute baby goats & all the chick pix!

I'm giving some eggs to a guy at work this week..his kids want to hatch "cute fuzzy things". He picked up an incubator & will set the eggs Saturday. Made sure they already have homes, as I can't take them (his brother has a farm & needs more chickens).

Still don't know what to do with the PR getting beat up. Pretty sure she's not sick (tho I am). She's eating, pooping fine. Laying her daily egg. Yesterday I threw her outside, when the fighting began I grabbed the offender & threw HER inside. Another simply took her place. Poor beat up girl has so much Blu Kote on her face & comb. I just don't know what to do. She can't stay in the house forever; but I don't want to come home & find a bloodied half dead girl in the run...knowing she suffered all day would kill me. Chickens sure can be evil.

I don't like the only option I've come up with, either...unless someone wants a really sweet, good laying PR....

Awwww, we finally rejoined our extra roosters so I have room if you are close to Toledo.
