Windy hill chickens - first flock(s) of my own

[CombNWattles]

At least one of the Hylines had also worked out there's a world on the other side of the fence, so I opened up the back gate for a bit this afternoon to let them all into the back strip of field.

Winter's on the way, soon enough it'll more often look like this (only less green) when it's not too windy to even open your eyes.

Change of plans with the cockerels. I messaged the breeder about something else and he's happy to swap both my Barred Rock cockerels for a couple of pullets since he mostly hatched female chicks from that cock. He said I could have an unrelated cockerel too in the spring, though I'll probably ask if I can have a few hatching eggs instead if I decide to take him up on that.
