I think I am going to have to name my farm "the soggy bottom Farm" thanks to all the mud...and we are in a hole...

I really do need a farm name though...suggestions are welcome!!

OK the millefleur d'Uccles got their first day trip outside....Well they hated it!!!! I'm afraid they miss the TV, and they where scared of everything....the wind, a leaf, a crow, other chickens. So tommorrow they will be left out longer til they more use to it!!!! Coop is almost done, just need to do some finally touches and the run needs to be wired over.

They are Not sure about the sand... so they stayed on the ladder almost the whole time!




Gonna add some planters and paint a few things. Hopefully tomorrow they will explore alittle bit more!!!!
I also have to finish the inside of the coop!!!

The coop is wonderful! When I put my d'Uccle out they did not do much the first time either. You might want to try some roosts too. Mine love to fly up and set on their roost. Very nice!!

I am not sure how I got both of these pictures on here but a Dorking chick is wonderful! I can not wait to hear how the hatch goes! What color are they?

Yay! I definitely remember my first hatch. It's so awesome and it really doesn't get old no matter how many you hatch! Hope you get lots!

Question: My 11-yr old son wants to have his own breed of chicken to breed and sell. Any suggestions on what would be a good one? He doesn't want to do anything we currently have. Something easy going for sure!

Looks like a pretty day ahead. Enjoy!

Heard recently that the Hamburgs were selling for $30.00 each at an auction near by

Is he thinking LF or Bantam?
