Found out which duck (well one of the ducks) is laying and I'm even more surprised. It's our new mallard girl! She had laid a clutch of infertile eggs in the Spring, according to her former owner, and is beginning a clutch now. She has paired up with at least one of our boys, that I know of. So now I'm torn between collecting the eggs and letting her set. I wasn't planning on this til spring...
 
Yesterday was coop cleaning day so I took some pictures while I was out there. The run was so muddy and gross (and smelly!) it's nice to see it clean now.



When I ordered the white rock chicks they were suppose to be all female. This one looks different from all the rest. It's leg has always been like this but he/she was able to get around and was the sweetest chick so we kept it. Now it's become an ankle pecker and might be my practice chicken for freezer camp. No crowing yet (they hatched in the beginning of April). Does this look like a White rock rooster?





Here are my 2 fluff butt broody hen's in a bucket! Silly girls!



First time out free ranging with the big kids. A few bully moments but they started to get along towards the end. Still not ready for the big coop.







My little helper. She loves the chickens and I love that she isn't afraid of them. Just another perk of having chickens when the kids are little.









My Easter Eggers and Serama. She is the oldest of the 3 and looks like a brand new chick! I might need a few more of those :)
 
A few pics of the new coop and run. Hope we can get the girls moved in to their new home OK tonight. Might have to "help" them in the first time like we did in their first coop. I'm so happy to have a larger area for them to sleep & roam in. They seem to love the newly expanded run area, they have been in it for a few weeks now. They went from a real small enclosed run, about 72" to the 9X11' run. Now I just hope we can get the other coop out of the enclosed area. We had originally planned on keeping them in the original coop in the expanded run area (lovely Amish built which they only used for less than 2 months...hope to be able to sell it if we can get it out...lol) My hubby generously donated his storage shed which butts up against their run area...don't know why we didn't think of doing that before we paid $500 for the original coop.....live & learn I guess.

Those band ones work fairly well, Gavin and I had them for night fishing. My legs got bit a little while it was on my wrist, but Gavin didn't get bit at all!

Hehehe gotta show off some of the new kiddos we'll be picking up in the next week or so:



Yep more Seramas, nope these little ones are not addicting whatsoever

lol
We'll be picking them up from the same person we got our other three from.

What are Seramas exactly? Are they their own breed, or is Serama a classification like Bantam is?
