Our Mixed Flock Journey!

[WhoDatChick]

Aww, I love Great Pyrenees! They are so adorable and great herd and flock protectors!

Me too! But they get so BIG!

Me too! But they get so BIG!

They really do! Our neighbors had one that used to come over and play with our kids! My kids named him Polar Bear! He was so sweet and huge!

Well we got the bottom section of fence stretched and stapled in place tonight and we were also able to attach the upper section, it's not completely attached though. That's for tomorrow night!

Good morning!

I thought I'd share some Chick Pics! These babies are 7 weeks old! I love my flock so much, some are kind of standoffish, unless I'm bringing their breakfast...lol! One of my RIR is super friendly like my Orpingtons! One of the Black Majesty Marans is starting to show some copper on the back of her neck, I'm thinking a throwback gene...can't wait to see how well she colors out, I wasn't able to get a good picture of her today!

Finally have a name for my Salmon Faverolle...Spazzy, trust me it fits...lol! Such a pretty little chick!

Penny...I just can't get over her color!

Pearl, roosting with her sisters...every bit as beautiful as Penny! She's harder to get a good picture of, but her colors are also amazing! I need to catch her in the sunshine!

I finally got some good pictures of my Welsummer ladies! I love their coloring too!

Welsummer with Little Roo!

Last but not least & usually underfoot...Little Roo!

Little Too sure has made a comeback, hasn't he?

Very nice looking flock Rene, all of them!

 

[drstratton]

Yeah, he's doing so well now!

They really are! I wanted a variety of chickens and I'm so happy with the mix I have, they are all so beautiful!

Today has been a very relaxed day for me, so I've tried to spend a lot of time with my animals!

I finally got a couple of good pics of my Midnight Majesty Marans, Mara & Maggie! They are developing a nice blue sheen on their black feathers & Maggie is showing the copper feathering around her neck, but it's still kind of hard to capture!

Mara - Hello!!! Mara's comb is a little lighter in color than Maggie's and not as tall.

Maggie - Hi there! You can see some of the blue sheen in this picture!

Maggie - If you are so inclined to look, you can just barely see some copper feathering on the back of her neck feathers!
