Our New Obsession - Chickens

Here are the older girls: 2 Rhode Island Reds, 2 Barred Rocks, and 4 Red/Gold Comets

Here are the bantams: 1 Gray Rooster, 1 Buff Pullet, 1 Black Pullet, 1 Old English Game

Also, in this photo is the younger Barred Rocks, 1 pullet, 1 future rooster (the lighter black/white one in front)

This is an Easter Egger.  Notice the flat comb.  I hope it's a she.

Here's the other EE chick I bought.  I also hope it's a girl.  It has a very anemic looking comb so maybe it will never turn red and I can get some blue or green eggs.

I don't know what I will do if they turn out to be boys.  I don't want to irritate the neighbors with crowing from more than one rooster and I dont want them fighting and harming or killing each other.  I like reading how roosters help protect the flock from predators, and I think I'd like to try hatching eggs next sprint, but I also don't want the hens to be chased so much by more than one rooster.  I plan to separate the bantams from the full sized chickens so I don't worry about the bantam rooster having a problem with the big flock.

The Window Test...

What does your dream window reveal about you?

You Are Deep

You are truly kind and caring. You value other people. You are original and creative, but you're modest about it. You don't brag about your accomplishments. Whenever possible, you try to go with the flow and not make waves. You prefer to make peace and reconcile. You are wild in your own quiet way. You have some pretty radical ideas.
