Our Mixed Flock Journey!

This is SO great!! I want it

He's painted a number of chickens for me, but I have to say the wolf he did is my favorite:

(Definitely not chicken friendly!)

Sorry @drstratton I won't take over your thread with my pictures

Oh, that's stunning! You can show all of his pictures, I don't mind at all, I would love to see more!
My son's dog is 1/2 wolf and she's not chicken, turkey, duck or goat friendly! She does love her kitty's though!

The sheriff just picked up the dog! I'm glad that he won't be killing anymore livestock, but I'm so sad for him!

I integrated the FBCM chicks in with the flock today, so far everything seems to be going well. One of the older Midnight Majesty Marans seems to be the most aggressive towards at least on of the roosters so far, but not overly so! I will leave a space for the littles to get back into the brooder at night, if they still need a safe place to be! The older chicks are 6 weeks now and the littles are 4 weeks! I also noticed that the FBCM roosters are finally getting some copper feathers around their necks! I can't wait to see them fully feathered...I'm also hoping my hens get a little bit of copper too, but I haven't seen any yet! The littlest hen seems to have a different color of body feathers than the rest, so we will see what she looks like, she is also clean legged where the others have feathers!

Sorry for the long video! I just wanted to catch as much as I could! Some establishing of the pecking order is going on, but this first day has gone pretty well! They were certainly loving their new found freedom!

I will be so happy when they are full grown Debby! This has been a little nerve wracking for me...I feel like a mother hen...lol!

Finally got a picture of one of my FBCM Roosters showing his copper feathers!

They look so happy! I love when I get to give them more space and watch them be free

I know exactly how you feel! Chicks are the only babies that I can’t wait for to grow up! Puppies and kittens can stay babies FOREVER!! While chicks are adorable... I am always dying to see what they will look like grown! Especially the Easter Eggers
