My little flock

[indymaggie]

These are my little chicks. I'm not sure on breeds or ages. They're just my pets. They are named, from left to right, Camilla, Dr. Bunsen Honeydew (Bunsen for short), Beaker, and Beyonce....who I'm pretty sure is a Roo.

Very pretty chickens. They look very happy.

Chickens make wonderful pets, and I love all of my chickens. They have individual personalities, are intelligent (most of the time

), curious, and full of interesting behaviors.

I am sorry to say, the largest chick, the white one, looks like a Cornish-cross. These are friendly birds, but they unfortunately rarely make it past a year of age due to being bred solely for their meat and not for their health or longevity what so ever.

Make sure to keep his/her growth down by not giving free access to food (have set feeding times) and make sure to be careful of its legs (they are prone to leg problems, over-heating, sores on their chest and heart-attacks). Supply soft bedding so that its chest isn't hurt when it lays down and provide low, flat, soft perches, since they can't get up high.
I could be wrong about its breed, I just thought I would give you a heads-up.

Best of luck with all of them!

By the way, it looks like you may have a Buff Brahma (the brown and orange one. Does it have feathered feet?) and an Easter Egger. I'm not sure about the last one.

The two brownish chicks both have feathered feet. The yellow/gray one doesn't. The big guy, will most likely be going back to my mother in law's property. I believe it's a rooster and I couldn't keep it where I live....I don't think my neighbors would appreciate the crowing. I'll be sure to post pics as they grow. I've got 4 ducks too....lol.
