So, here is one of the recent additions, probably my favorite chicken so far. She is supposed to be an Americanus. I read that very few are true Americanus, most are Easter Eggers? Anyway, this one almost black and has very dark legs. Cant wait to see what color eggs I get.

Jackrabbit Johnson's Homestead is 125 south of the Idaho border, 30 miles east of Elko.
We retired up here after 30+ years in Las Vegas.
We have 2 horses, 3 dogs, and the chickens of course! I have to do a recount cuz I caint remember how many ther are

Found the pictures of the new coop that I thought I'd lost....I'll post them so ya can see what The Monster Man did for me.
We took a BYC idea, tweaked it a lil bit and waaaaala, a great new home for the girls, and uhhhmmm that one rooster that snuck in

So here are the girls I got last year. They love the dust in the garden box.

Definitely some gorgeous birds ya have.
The first bird picture ya posted, the one that has a shawl around its neck and feathered feet
....she looks somewhat like a Brahma - Bantam.
Be curious what others come up with.


I have 5 Easter Egger, 2 Barred Rock, 4 Australorp, 4 Gold Sex Links & 5 Black Sex Links, 4 Rhode Island Red, 4 Orpington

Geeeesh, I did it again and miscounted chickens
........thereare 27 girls and ONE roo
........not 29 girls and one roo

My fav's are the Easter Eggers cuz of their fluffy cheeks........they look like little chipmunks faces.
But I enjoy all the girls, acheeem, and the roo too

, for their unique personalities.
Its so fun to be greeted by all of their bakbak's when I enter the coop.

Here are the latest editions, the long sought after Penedesenca chicks. They are straight run so I have no clue on sex yet. I read that 80% percent of the time the darker ones are females and the lighter ones are males. Who knows though??

So the Brahma is the same size as the other full size type chickens. Is a bantam a small chicken?

Just the six brown colored ones. The yellow ones are all slow white broilers that I had to order because of the minimum order deal.
