Hi all. Stumbled across here about 6 months ago when I found some eggs and wasn't sure what to do.
Helped me hatch one out of the 3 eggs. The one, Charlene, is now in a homebuilt coop that I made out of an old wooden playset.
She has 2 other hens that were abandoned, Big Mama and Liz. They brought along with them, and are the mothers of 8 of the 11 chicks I have... Bubba, Lucky (was almost scooped by a hawk), and Trixie and the children of Liz. Meatball, Screach, Peaches, and two others I have to a friend to raise, are the children of Big Mama.
I also have 3 Silkies I just got at the store for my Birthday.
We are pretty sure Meatball, Trixie, and Peaches are Roos. But, not 100% sure as they are very young.
And... Pictures!
Oh, and if anybody can 100% identify the breed, it would be appreciated. Judging by the Mothers and who I think the father could have been (Ameraucana, Black Turken, or some Bantam white game bird), I'm assuming they are RIR and Ameraucana.
My Beautiful wife, Steph, and Charlene

Old playset, boarded up, tin roof with venting, covered in 3/4 plywood, and vinyl. Built like a house.
