Some cute pics of my daughter and her flock

[jodiv]

Thank you all very much!

And yes the other lil roo that you see in the second pic is an easter egger. Of course he was labeled as ameraucana, along with his siblings, but I knew that he wasnt as soon as he started to get bigger. Thats ok though, he still is quite cute with good color. He will soon join the ranks with Winston, my other full grown Rooster you see with my daughter.

The others in the pics are hens of red sex link and blue/black/splash orpingtons, as well as som blue/black/splash orp roos and some polish hens, and bantum brahmas. I have quite the mix going on!

I have 2 brand new coops that my hubby just built to house my blue orps. Right now they are all in the same pen together (the young ones). Winston and his girls got a pen and coop all their own.

I will be breeding blue orps next year, hoping to improve my line, and to breed to the standard. So we will see how it goes, right now i have alot of roos in the bunch of orps, however I am not sure which ones i want to keep just yet. I figure i will wait till they get big enough for their own qualities to shine thru and go from there.

Absolutely precious ! Your little one is such a cutie! I wish we could free range here like that. Your chickies look like real sweeties. You gave us just a corner glimpse of your chicken run/coop. I would love to see it. Can you post pictures of it too?

Oh and what were those delicious snacks your birds were running to get?

cfdf- sure, I have osted these before in a different thread, but will share them again, the new coops have since been painted, (still a few details left) hahaha, but here is the garden area, with the chicken runs inside the fenced garden and the coops on the outside for ease of cleaning etc. I really should take new pics of the work since then, but our lawn mower went to heck, and am a bit embarassed of the lawn right now...hehehehe When i get the yard back to its former glory i will sanp more pics.
