The Not So Secret Society of Chicken Keepers

[HorseGirlAbby]

2 weeks ago i hatched successfully with a broody for a first time! The yellow chick for sure came from my light brahmas egg, then the partridge chick is either from my partridge cochin or my russian orloff/partridge cochin mix hen View attachment 4171405View attachment 4171407View attachment 4171409

They’re adorable! Do you have photos of your Cochin/Russian Orloff hen? I don’t think I’ve ever seen that cross before.

Ok, I'm going to do some updates.

Start with the not great news I guess, I've lost a few chickens recently for different and some unknown reasons Including my old rooster, Thor, guess this winter was too much for him. He was such a good boy and my buddy and I'll miss him

My "EE" chick finally laid

Various chickens I entered in the Summer fair, starting with my lovely Squash

And some geese to make up for the lack of pictures cause I am goose biased, just a little...

Question: How old was the oldest chicken you've ever had?

My current chicken has just turned 8 years old as a brown shaver who has lived without any other chickens for 4 years
