I've always wanted chickens, so what better time than in quarantine? We ended up with a random mix of five breeds. They're now 8 weeks, and I thought it'd be fun to show a progression of their growth each week.
Meet Moira Rose, the only full-size of the bunch. She's a "Favacauna" (mix between an Americauna and Faverolle). She has a big personality.

This is Idgie. She's the cuddliest of the bunch - a Buff Brahma Bantam.

Edie is in the running for my favorite. She's very curious but a bit submissive. She loves cuddles. She's a Mottled Cochin Bantam.

This is Ruth Bader Ginsburg, our Mille Fleur D'Uccle Bantam. She has a really fun personality and is incredibly bonded with Moira, even though she's the bittiest one and Moira is the largest.

And last but not least, our Silkie - Laura Dern. I'm bummed because she's the only one who doesn't love cuddles, but she's quirky and cute so I'll deal with it.

And the coop that we miraculously built in 3 weeks. First time building anything and turned out alright!
