MOOOOOOOSERSSSSS 

OMG she is so adorable!!!!!!!!!  oh the chick too but she is so cute!!!!
Bunny a boy?

How pretty!!! I had to enlarge to see but well worth the time my dumb internet took!!!  very healthy looking too!!

What a pretty bunch!!!

oh how lovely!!!!!!!


HEY!!!!  The great defender himself?

awwwwwww 

awesome!!!  love the coop too!!

He thinks so. He is scared of me now though after a serious "talk" with him.

Sure took me long enough to wake up though; took him actually getting me through my boots before I clamped down. He is doing very good now though after I pinned him to the floor.... Didn't like doing it, but it is better then the alternative. :/


He shure is handsome though, and great with the hens!

So tempted to pick up bantams at TSC and my mom almost agreed lmfao even the clerk said to use the small coop for more chickens

Anyone know what breed the "bantams" are though? If my mom approves it, I may as well get a breed I like. And I would love silkies but I know at TSC that is not likely. But they're only $2.99 and the other breeds are $1.99 but of course the minimum is 6 there. But they also just got a new shipment in since the last time we went earlier this week. And the old bantams are still there, in a separate bin, 8 of em, with little wing feathers already. 8 of my LF girls BARELY fit in our 3x3 (I think) TSC coop kit and are getting a new 4x8 coop we are building now (on a 6x8 base, for nest boxes and storage) but maybe 8 little bantams could fit? Of course it could be better for just a few, maybe 4. But with the minimum being 6 and the older babies still there, I don't wanna leave 2 poor lonely little things there and wanna rescue them all. Or get some younger ones too, I don't know. But anyone know what breed? Probably varies by store but ours ALL appear the same breed, same exact color. Not quite as yellow as the Cornish X's but maybe creamy whitish? Not really white, creamy yellowy whitey type thing? Black beak.

They don't have blue skin or 5 toes?
