HiddenChickens
In the Brooder
Hello everybody!
Background:
I forced my mom into letting me take in old chickens from my neighbors as a kid. I enioyed them despite their poor production and my lack of experience. They were all named Fred followed by a number. Fred 7 was my fav! Now that i have my own home, i enjoy gardening and other self sufficiency hobbies. Getting back into chickens is just the next logical step. Plus its cheep entertainment
As my username name implies, these chickens are hidden. No livestock permitted in town.
Current chickens:
I purchased 10 pullets from my local tractor supply. They could not tell me the breed. They look like buff orphingtons to me. Im excited just to have some chicks. I might go back for some rhode island reds or black austrolaups.

You have some lovely chicks there, very cute! Wishing you the very best of luck with them and be sure to ask any questions you may have everyone here to help and very friendly. Enjoy your new babies and BYC 
) X2 on posting the pics without the red heat lamp. You should definitely consider getting some of those Black Australorps if they are still available and if you have enough space for the extra chickens. They are a wonderful breed; extremely hardy, calm and gentle (my children and grandchildren made lap pets of ours), and the best layers of the standard, brown egg laying breeds. Please feel free to ask any questions you may have. We are here to help in any way we can. Good luck with your chicks.
