We have chickens. A lot more than what I have here, but they were scattered hither and yon, and I didn't feel like chasing them down just for a mug shot. We also have ducks.
These are the latest acquisitions. We have had them for about an hour or two. We bought them from a local place that sells a large variety of birds. We bought eight chickens and three guineas. The silver/gray birds are the guineas.
We had a small flock born about a month ago to one of our other chickens but through one mishap or another managed to lose them all. *insert sad face* This little bantam hen hatched two little chicks and this one survived. Hopefully, it will continue to thrive.
We have also just started getting eggs from our layers. We have a few Golden Laced Wyandottes, several Americanas/Araucanas, and a couple of Rhode Island Reds. Today we bought three white Rocks, one Rhode Island Red, a Barred Rock, a Black Rock, and two Silver Laced Wyandottes. Hopefully they will produce well also.
And then of course the chicken helpers. :)
Until next time...
