SHHHHHH.... Here that? That is correct, total silence in the house! We moved all 18 chicks into this new coop yesterday.(after adding roosts, heat lamp and pine shavings to the floor of course) And all 18 did fine all night long and I slept all night without being woke up by chicken squabbles!
Here are our fuzzy legged girls, Yoko and Poachy, they are light Brahmas, you can see Yoko's legs in this picture to see how they have feathers. These are the smallest of the chicks and I have been worried about them but they are holding their own just fine.
Here is Cutie on the left and Americana (which lays blue-green eggs) and Stripe on the right is a Barred Rock (this is Shane's favorite chick and lays brown eggs).
On another note here are the new bunny girls. Sozo on the left is a silver New Zealand/Flemish giant mix (heavy on the Flemish giant I think) and the little grey one on the right is Lovie also a New Zealand/Flemish giant mix. They are not related, from 2 different breeders. We are hoping to keep a variety of blood lines. Now just need to add our white New Zealand purebreds and we will have a full house!
If all goes well, next year we have talked about adding turkeys, and goats are still a maybe??? I am trying to talk Shane into adding a bee hive too, wouldn't that be cool!!!!
