Chickens are addictive

I just love chickens, I love watching them, at the moment I have a broody silky I tried moving her into another pen last night as I was planning to get some fertilized eggs today but she didnt like her new nest so I just put her back in the old one with the other chickens so hopefully she can hatch these eggs in there.
I took a trip out to a friends house who has all sorts of chickens so hopefully I have some luck with them.
I got 3 wyondotte eggs, 2 orphintons and 2 australorps.
 I love these belgium d uccles these photos are at my friends
 Light sussex were such friendly birds.
 Even a couple of emus
 Plymouth rock rooster was just stunning
 Cute little pony
 These ducks were so friendly followed us everywhere wagging there tails they were just like dogs, oooo I would love a ducky.
 This splash orphington tooster was just stunning if my eggs hatch he is the daddy.

  1. Fingers crossed that all your eggs hatch, we have such a large fox population here that I can not consider chickens while I work. maybe next year when I give up completely.

  2. Hi Pam yes I have my fingers crossed I lost the last lot to a crow, oh believe me once you get them you will love them. Try fox proofing the pen with chicken wire on the ground as well so they cant dig under.
