Our first flock.

G’Day from down under Tifani  

If you would like to share pictures and stories of your flock, you have come to the right place.  BYC’ers never tire of these and do not back away slowly or commence eye rolling when the photo album or home videos come out 

This is good to know LOL currently my IG and FB feeds are pretty much just coop progress and chicken butts

We picked up our flock on Friday, it's kind of a mixed bag. At the suggestion of a girlfriend and expert backyard chicken keeper I leg everyone get what they wanted so we would have a diverse flock.
So we have; 2 Easter Eggers, 1, Black Australorp, 1 RIR, 1 Golden Laced Wyandotte, 1 Light Brahma, 1 Barred Rock, 1 Buff Orpington
We intended on only 6 birds but, chicken math. Luckily it will be very warm here soon and I can move them from the brooder into the brand new, empty, coop before the brooder is too crowded

My son is home from college this week on Spring Break and somehow convinced his friends that building a chicken coop will be fun

So tomorrow is the big build.

Wonderful! Pullets, I presume?

Yay, coop building. So exciting. Congratulations!

And yes, pictures! We do like pictures around here. Looots and lots of pictures.

Yes, pullets, let's keep our fingers crossed

I'm using a metal swing set as the frame for our main coop and run (we ended up with more birds so additional run space will come soon) and I went to bed the other night after discussing my plans with my husband and son (who is a first year engineering major) and woke up the next morning I got to this...

( Tallulah approves )
