Crowing
Hi there, after 6 chicks are hatched, now we have 16 birds. Chicken math is powerul than I imagined. I didn't expect that I will spend so much time learning and stay with them, so gradually I also want to make a thread to record them.
These five girls belong to one flock. One is molting, two are just out from the broody jail
They are about 14-16 month old now
This hen (14 months) and chicks (7 weeks) she hatched at the end of June. Now the chicks are almost half of her size.
These four hens (12~13 month old) are in the same run with mama hen and chicks.
This is how 6 chicks looked like this morning, can't believe they are suddenly 7 weeks old now.
I planted a lot of vegetables and fruits, some are just for the chickens, usually in the morning I will use whatever available and suitable to make their breakfast (the rest of day they have access to commercial feed and water), for example, an apple, homegrown green beans (cooked), beetroot, carrot and basil are part of it.
For me, chickens offer important and lovely companionship for my gardening and daily life. There are still much to learn, but I am thankful to have them.

Now I know it's just a reference.
