New Chicks 5-18-13

Here are our choices!

We were only going to get 2, but got 3. Just cant resist them.

Roosters Back to Breeder 5-18-13

We got these Dominique chickens about a month ago. As you can see, two are roosters and one is a hen.  I can't risk having roosters and have a neighbor report me to the township.  So, today the roosters are going back to the breeder.  We will exchange for hens, hopefully.  Daisy is the hen we will be keeping.

Molly and Morgan in the Sun 5-16-13

Molly and Morgan love the sun coming in the front door in the afternoons.  They are such good friends.

Terry, Our New Adventurous Chicken 5-14-13

Terry is like a tight-rope walker along that board.

Terry, one of the new chickens this spring, thinks she doesn't have to stay in the fenced area. We find her out in the yard often. She is an escape artist. Here she is on top of a chicken tractor. She's quite adventurous.

Dominiques in Garden 5-11-13

Dominique chicks in the garden. Can you tell between the roosters and hen?

Dominiques in garden while other girls are in the yard.

They take dust baths against the house in the dirt.

Parke's Garden Helpers 5-10-13

Parke has 9 helpers to work in the garden. He removed the boards we walk on in the garden so he could till. Lots of bugs underneath, which the girls love. These are our 9 big girls. Olivia, Frizzie, Rusty, Gabby, Cindy, Terry, Lacey, Sophia, and Ellie.

Visiting Chicken 5-10-13

The farmhouse across the street got rid of their steers about 3 years ago. The truck that came to get them accidentally had a chicken from the farm. No catching that hen. She has lived across the street ever since. She is now starting to come over to visit our girls. The visiting chicken is on the right. She is really pretty. Don't know what breed she is. I have to research it.
