NY chicken lover!!!!

I had a swarm a few years ago around this time. Called local bee keepers and was told they didn't want them because it was too late in the year for them to store up honey for winter, and they would likely leave again if they did it once. After a few days they moved on.
 
Photo Friday! Ok here goes...

I got my new coop yesterday after being very unhappy with the one I built. Put it together last night, stained it and I'm getting everyone settled in it today along with putting some better locks on it and placing cement blocks around the bottom edges.




Chloe and Duncan getting settled, although you can't really see Duncan too well...
 
Ooh, picture day! Okay, here's a few pictures of my chicks that hatched mostly yesterday. The last one to hatch hatched this morning:

Congrats.
 
So- here are my pics. Not to great as I was short on time today. Gonna get better ones tomorrow. My new Mille Fleur Cochins came and my first Mille Fleur rooster had his first chicks hatch under a broodie. So here goes.

Yay, Photo Friday and I have something to share! All 6 brown egg layers....finally all laid 6 normal brown eggs!

The pic is the 6 brown eggs, 2 EE blue all collected today. The one to the left is kinda a creamy color that I collected yesterday. Was thinking maybe an Ancona started, but looking at it again tonight it has a few tiny brown spots on top. It is the texture of sandpaint, so maybe another abnormal? I was just thrilled to find 6 brown eggs intact! Hubby took a dozen to work this morning to give to the lady I bought the Eglu from, or to sell. That only leaves me with 4 1/2 dozen left in the fridge. Better find some egg customers!

Wow! Congrats! I would be thrilled to get six eggs! Out of 60+ chickens not many eggs! Lots of feathers!
