babys out in one of the grazing pens..sorry the white orp over expose my pics.I was out straightening up storm damaged fence and had babies all under my feet..Everybody from Pastor Romig to visitors LOVE rogers blue pullet..she is as round as she can be..so pretty..the 2 Roger boys are at Rick and Ruth Vs for now..they want to cross some of thier blacks into the line next spring then they will come back here..they BEGGED me to let them take this pullet..I said..I just cant sorry..





in thier safe place, I move the babies and thier pen around during the day if something scares them, they run into thier cage..they have an a frame but nothing like using a cage to make them feel safe..not a bad place to be..show training early LOL

hatched mar 30th ..Nellies beautiful birds under my feet while I straighten fence..they are nice birds ..easy to handle..not in a huge hurry to do anything here , just made decisions for next spring with them..but that could change..just going to take my time for a couple years..chickens are always a work in progress..not something to prove..but improve..




down from the pasture, and moving too fast for me to get a good pic ..

So many pretty babies ! Love the blue girl. She will be spectacular when she grows her tail.

Everybody beggs for the blue pullet..I almost have to hide the buffs...talk about begging for poultry..Man..the buffs are hovered over by everybody..they ask a million questions about them..

Gold nuggets are hard to resist !

They are!

Your babies are growing so fast. If it wasn't raining so hard it was going to be a photography day.

I do too Nuttychick...they will be a labor of love for me..much wanted birds , not everyone likes them..when people come here, they breeze right by the white ones to the blue and buff..just another white chicken to them..but for years they have been my favorite..My uncle had big buffs when we were kids..never forgot them..he had some white orps for a while but he never had black or blue that I remember....he said the whites were kell-something..cant remember..but when I was in Colo..he got cancer..he got rid of all of the birds..wish I would have been here to take them and keep them going for him.. .Vickies right..its the gold nuggets and that blue missy that they want to know about..

I guess I'm just a stickler for the original colors.
