Cluck cluck

Meet the Mr. and his ladies...

Cogburn the Silkie Rooster

The Bantam Brahma Crosses - Squit, Squat, Spit & Spot


Agnes the Orpington

Hilda & Bertha the Ameraucanas

Mildred the Cochin

Last weekend I was able move the Bantams out to the coop with the rest of the big chickens.  They all seem to be getting along well...though I think Squat got her comb a little too close to the chicken wire pen and one of the big girls bit it hard enough to draw blood!  They're still a little territorial, but my hope is that eventually they'll all get used to one another and when spring comes, and everyone is allowed to free-range, the Bantams can be let out of their little pen and the big ones will consider them part of the flock.

Every day is a learning experience when you own chickens!
