Hello everyone!

This thread is to talk about and show my flock of four chickens, which will most likely keep growing in a month or so!

My first ever chicken was Finn, a baby chick no more than two weeks old who was found abandoned under the horse barn. Our neighbors have chickens, so one of the hens must have hatched him out and left him here. We took him in, and for 7 months now he has lived in the house with two dogs and a duck. He is so spoiled, too! He also wears a diaper most of his time.



(that is yogurt all over his face. he doesn't have any manners!)

Just a few days ago on Sunday, I got my first two hens, Speckles, a Wyandotte, and Blu, a Rhode Island Red.





They have really made themselves at home! Just today, Blu laid an egg and for about 3 minutes she was squawking and announcing to everyone that she had laid one!

And again today, I got a Buff Orpington, Buttercup! She too has made herself at home, running around with the girls and biting the ducks.





And that is all I have for now, I would love some more in the future! They are so addictive!
 
Thanks! They have all been so sweet, they wont let me pet them or pick them up yet but they will eat out of my hand.
 
You have found out just how addictive they are!

Just beautiful!! Enjoy them all, and thanks for sharing!
 
So, we did get more chickens! Four chicks, Pippa, Pepper, Vinnie, and Betty. Vinnie was a Veronica, but it seems like she is now a he.





And here are some pictures of the old hens free ranging, with my rooster, Finn, locked up in a cage so he doesnt fly away.

 
Rest in Peace, Buttercup. She died this afternoon after getting her head caught in the fence and snapping it, all before I could run downstairs. She died quickly, and hopefully painlessly, and she is now buried under a tree.
