My small flock

[ahmedamir]

Hey guys:
Here are some pics of the flock I got. Ain't much but I was just curios to share them out with you guys.
Any suggestions is more than welcome. Just be nice with the criticism . It's my first ever experience with any pet. Here you go:














Any pet-name suggestion ? Can you guys have any idea about the breeds from the pictures? The first is crossed with bentum but about the others I am being told that they are some local breeds.

Thanks

Lucky chickens - they have their own flower pots.

AWESOME! I loved my chickens the moment I got them!
And most of us here are real nice, we wouldn't criticise. I love the dust bathing area you built for them. That is good fore thought since it looks like they are on a lot of concrete. Might consider building grazing box for grass for them. I'd say you could probably do with a 8foot by48foot square raised growing box... 10 in boards, fill with soil to about 7 inches, plant your grass, then cover that frame with chicken wire to keep the chickens from digging in it. The grass will grow up through the chicken wire, giving a pretty constant supply of fresh grass with out them being able to dig in it and damage it. be sure to put some worms in the soil if you do. They'll keep it good.

Haha, these are my Mom's indeed. The one sitting in it have strong habit of laying in there . Good thing is they don't peck on them much as they are out of their reach, due to height, the other ones are aloe-vera plants, which are not that fragile .
