New chicken mama

[Chickmama Jodi]

Here’s my pics I forgot to attach! I’m a little bit of a proud Mama! We still have some painting to do and some fine tuning of some spots in the run to add a few more boards and add a few more pieces of hardware cloth yet. The coop plans are for it to be a bright but pale yellow with white trim. The door faces west and the windows not shown face north and south. The top picture is of my three favorite hens which are Swedish Flower Hens- Matcha, Poppie, and Verbena. They are also the top pecking orders with Their sweet nature so far being what keeps them on top most of the time. However, they can put a Black Orpington in their place when needed in a heartbeat. It does happen and I have seen it in action.

Very nice!!

Hi everyone! My name is Jodi. My husband and I got ducks for the first time this spring. We have 15! Magpie, pekin and Rouens. Two weeks ago we got 6 chicks, 2 almost ready to lay isabrowns and a white Cochin roo from my sons girlfriend. Then 4 more and then 6 more from TSC. We’re a little bit addicted! We have a silkie, some Cochins, and Easter Egger , a California white, some midnight majesty marina, some isabrowns, some sapphire gems, some olive eggers, and a frizzle. (I think that’s all of them hahah!) Anyway we are new at this and hoping to learn some stuff. My full time job is nursing, but I’m having a blast with these birds!
