The Flower Flock

[BY Bob]

It took about 10 bad pictures to get that one! Thank you! ❤

The beauty of digital cameras. You could never afford to do that with film.

I added more to my Flower Flock a few weeks ago. I also have 20 eggs in the incubator and an order of 15 coming in June. I'm pretty sure my husband is drawing up the divorce papers. Chicken math, am I right?

I've been able to get pictures and names for 4 so far, and I'll get more pictures next week.

Buttercup (Marans)
A little flighty, but manageable. I can't wait to see how she will feather out, because she was supposed to be a Lavender Ameraucana, but got switched up, so it's a bit of a mystery.

Sweetpea and Bluebell (Lavender Ameraucanas)
I am so incredibly happy with these girls! They are so sweet and easy to handle. They're a testament to why you should support local breeders!

Holly (French Black Copper Marans)
She is by far the easiest chick to handle that I've ever raised. My daughter took her on a tour of the house in her hands, and Holly took it all in stride. No fighting being held, no wing flapping in protest, and I'm pretty sure I saw her fall asleep at one point with my daughter just chatting away. #favoritealert

Aspen and Basil (FBCM, no pictures)
I'm still trying to figure these two apart. All I know, is that they are definitely roosters. I *think* I'm going to just keep one, but we'll see. They aren't too easy to get my hands on, which makes me a little concerned for dealing with them as roos, but it's a work in progress.

thank goodness nobody has done my age progression. Living it is tough enough, without see it!
