This is my flock. I hatched all but Stella. I successfully integrated them with almost no squables this week!! Yeah!
I have four 12 week old birds. Poppy a BSL pullet-local egg, Sweet Pea (Pea) a Blue Ameraucana pullet-Gabbard egg, Gladiolus(Gladdis) a BO pullet-Gabbard egg, and Blue Belle(Belle) a Blue Orp pullet-Gabbard egg. I have four 7 week old birds. Morning Glory(Glory) a crippled but happy EE pullet-local egg, Goldenrod(Rod) a EE cockeral-local egg, Meadow Rou(Rou) a Splash orp cockeral- allaboutdemchicks/Chapel Farm egg, Coral Bell(Cora) a black orp- same as Rou. I also have one 5 week old BR pullet- Stella de Ora(Stella)- came from a farm store as a day old, who is by fars the pippiest of them all! I hope to successfully show off some pictures! I havent had chickens in 20+ years and I am really enjoying them! My coop

Thanks ChickenGuy!! I thought I would add that Rod needs a home in NJ- too many boys, and that I know it looks small, but we are getting fenced this month and then they can free range as well!!

Sarah, they all look wonderful, healthy and happy. Welcome back to the world of chicken ownership! (As in THEY own US!!

) And don't knock down the size of their enclosure. Remember, it's quality that counts, not the size. That will come in time. Be sure to post pics when they have the run of your entire house and yard!!!

Is Gladiolus really a Hickory or some other boy name?

 

[loot4louie]

I too question Gladdis. However, she is really girly compared to my younger orp roo. I have also closely compared her to an orp roo that hatched with her(a friend owns). She has always had very pink skin and a little more comb/wattle... but she has girly legs and stance. Egg or crow will be the true test on her!!
