New chicken family. Loving it so far!

[buzymom13]

I'm a mom of 6 kids (5 girls/1boy) and married to a flexible hubby for 22 yrs. We just got 6 new chicks about a month ago. I have been researching online for months and months. We're learning as a family and enjoying our chickens so far. We have (hope I saying these correctly) 3 Aracauna hens, 2 grey leghorn hens and a barred rock hen. We just completed our coop/run using all recycled/reused materials. Didn't buy anything but some chicken wire for the project. Proud of our "not so perfect but totally functional" coop/run.

These are our girls! We're liking them alot!

Welcome! Your chickens look pretty happy!

By the way, those look like Easter Eggers, not Araucanas.

Beautiful babies, welcome to the crazy chicken world, crazy cat ladies have nothing on US!

Yup they look JUST identical to my Jazzy and she's an EE.

OK.. well then we have 3 Easter Eggers....I've researched the diff between Aracaunas and EE's and now it makes sense why mine weren't "following the rules" of Aracaunas...lol. Oh well...we like them no matter what they are. Sort of fits with our family anyways, we're a family of misfits who found each other and made a clan! LOL Thankx guys!
