What an impressive flock and setup! Thanks for sharing!One day, after I had quit working outside the home, I got a wild hair and decided I wanted chickens. And the rest is history.
My first chickens I affectionately called my OG hens, Original Gansta Hens. Two Buff Orpingtons, 1 Red Star and 1 Amberlink. I credit my two Buffs for being gracious enough to let me poke and prod and learn all I could about the outer anatomy of a chicken. View attachment 2010000
Only two of the OG’s remain, Biscuit and Penny, the two on the top.
It took 24 months before chicken math set in, but it did in a big way, when I added 24 chicks to my flock. View attachment 2009999
It was at this time I built my big coop and run...fun, fun, fun times.
Later that year I added 3 chicks from a broody and wound up with 8 bator chicks, keeping the only pullet and one of the seven cockerels. And Rusty has been the best rooster. There have been 12 others that have gone before him.

My last little group of 12 pullets came a few months later.

Several have passed, several have been sold and several have been eaten. My remaining birds total 36 hens/pullets and 1 rooster.
Oh, and I almost forgot about the eggs.
