New chicken rancher reporting in from Raleigh!

Coop is still under construction:


We got 5 chicks about 12 days ago. They are now 22 days old and growing FAST! Time to finish that coop!


We've got two Ameraucanas ("Flash" and "Penny"), two blue laced Wyandottes ("Lacy" and "Minnie"), and one Buff Orpington ("Little Miss Sunshine").

When I first got the idea to get chickens years ago, it was a novel and kind of revolutionary idea. Now it's almost a cliche in our neighborhood, and many early adopters have given it up. I knew I wanted to be in for the long haul, so I have taken years to do my research (thanks to all of you! I've been reading BYC like crazy!), waited through various setbacks, and finally plunged in and promised my kids we'd have chickens before the year was out. I'm just as thrilled by this as my kids.

What great entertainment these little birds have provided. We've been catching crickets in a trap overnight some nights and letting them loose into the chicks' box en masse in the morning. What a scene! Even more entertaining when we throw in a handful of moths too! The prize this morning was a huge katydid. It took them 10 minutes to finish that thing off!

Hello

Welcomes everyone new to BYC... this is an awesome forum with the best people.

Cute pics everyone! I so enjoy your pictures.
I have been pretty busy this week.

Here are a few pics of my chihuahua puppy... finding out the delights of playing in the yard with some of my birds... for the first time.











And hubby being overtaken by the flock.... poor man.

The cutest little pup has gone airborne..... she had a ball!

My other chi's.... wallowing in the grass....

those cute chihuahuas

all I can say is......I'm ready for it to be
Friday
hope yours is a good one

Good Morning, Everyone!

Slow start today. I used to love mornings, getting up before the sun and watching it come up as I was feeding. What happened to that? Now I have to use an alarm clock, and it goes off several times before I can drag myself out of bed.

grump, grump, grump

I am also glad it's Friday! And I get to spend a bit of tomorrow with some of my favorite BYCers, too! Good weekend, coming up!

Enjoy your Friday, everyone!
