Picture Of The Week (POW) Information & Submissions

[Candyjablonski]

Congrats on the POW! Is he a black sex link? He reminds of my old black sex link roo.

I was told he may have had some in him and also definitely Wyandotte! I've had silver, blue, and red laced chick's from him and his Wyandotte girl's. Thank you

My wife likes to let the girls out for an hour or two when she gets home from work. Yesterday our largest hen, 17 week old Gold Laced Wyandotte named Laverne decided to sit next to my wife on the picnic table. In the lower background you can see Laverne's partner in crime, Shirley. Those two birds will talk your ears off.

Try as I might, that one duckling refused to look at the camera. Guess it's shy!

My rooster was attacked and killed by our dog's. I miss him so much it's not the same going out and letting the hens out. He was exceptionally smart and helped me when I was down. I kept him safe for almost 4 years and I let him down. I will always remember and love him Rest in peace BB boy.

Oh I am so sorry that happened. He was a fine looking fella and your picture of him is great.
Hopefully it isn’t too painful to remember him

This is Mr. Darcy and his wife Mrs. Lilith brooding the eggs that will become their future chicks.

Thanks! I believe most hatcheries sell them as well as stores like Tractor Supply. We got Laverne and Shirley from a young man in 4H when they were 12 weeks old. My wife does a lot of Facebook stuff and she joined a local Facebook group called Sioux Falls Chicken Tenders. Thats where she found the listing for those hens. There are lots of people buying and selling chickens on the group, so I recommend seeing if there is a local Facebook Chicken group where you live. One of the good things about those local groups is that some Hatcheries will only ship 10 to 14 chicks minimum. People will get a big order and keep the chicks that they want and then sell off the extras.

Felicitas, a Cream Legbar, and Gaby, sit under the bike, talking about how the nasty wind is blowing everything around and how much they hate having to go back in the coop when Big Rooster goes to eat his dinner.
