Hello everyone, My name is Cassie and I live in the beautiful state of Washington. We moved to the country a little over a year ago, and I began to dream of having chickens! I wanted to start off small, so this year I finally went out and bought four baby chicks, built a brooder out of an old dresser for them, and took care of them until the weather got a bit nicer. Last weekend my husband built a lovely small run, and my now 8 week old girls are happy as can be! This has been such a wonderful experience for me, and my kiddos! My hubby said he will extend our chicken area next year when I get more (because he knows I will!!) I have a Barred Rock (Clementine), a Rhode Island Red (named Donkey Kong by my youngest son ), a Silkie (named Einstein by my daughter), and an Americauna (named Darth Vader by my oldest son)
glad to have you here! You have a beautiful yard and chickens.
By the way, your "Americauna" (misspelling of Ameraucana) is an Easter Egger. Hatcheries often like to call their EE crosses Ameraucanas, Araucanas, or Americanas.
and Welcome To BYC! Very pretty chickens, what an adorable little coop, love the names your kids gave all the chickens. Be sure to check out the BYC Learning Center, lots of good articles on all aspects of chicken keeping.
Your chickens look great, and their home is pretty nice as well. (nice sunshine, we haven't seen any in a while!)
