These are some chickens that some friends of mine hatched for me on Father's Day. They are just a mixed breed. I am hoping that they lay nice big brown eggs!
10 yo was helping clean out the coops!
12 yo just standing around looking all handsome!!
My 14 yo did most of the cleaning in the coops. I don't know what is up with that goofy grin!
There are 30 chicks. They are doing really good! We gave them some pumpkins from the local pumpkin patch that we got for free after the season. The kids had a blast picking them and cutting them up and throwing them in!
My two turkey hens and some of my Black Jersey Giants.
This was DD's favorite chick! The poor thing! She would not leave it alone! But it sure did make for a super sweet picture!
My big beautiful BJG rooster! To bad he has a date with the camp counselor on Thursday! He is heading off to Freezer Camp!
After Thursday I will be down to 30 mixed chicks, two turkeys, and one duck.
DD had the chick eating out of her hand!
DD was trying to get the chick to eat out of her hand first and then 10 yo had to do it!
LOL! She said the chick pecked her!
And of course no blog post is complete without a picture of baby girl! She is 9 1/2 months old now! She is starting to stand on her own...to her own suprise. She has been walking around the furniture for a while now. Her new trick is climbing up on the couch! She thinks she is big baby stuff!
