I have created this Blog to show family and friends what chickens and animals I currently raise, what chickens and animals I'm interested in and to give buyers a way to view the background and breeding history of any chickens or animals I might sell.

MILLE PULLETS AT 11 WEEKS

This is the same Mille pullet from a few weeks ago. The other pullet is showing more white mottling rather than the black splashes. She's still really pretty and might molt into some thing better later.

NEW SPLASH PULLET

The Bantam Barn



Shortly after moving in to our new home I realized I needed to make a place to start raising bantam chickens. Fortunately our new house had an old horse barn-stall-shed building. It was in pretty poor shape but not bad enough to throw in the towel so I started fixing it up instead of building a new building. Here are some before and after pictures of it.





This picture was taken the first day we came to look at the house before we bought it. It's kind of hard to tell that the barn was in bad shape from the picture but it took a lot of work to make it usable again.



This is a picture of the chicken barn after most of it has been fixed up. I still need to do some more work to it but it's definitely usable at this point.

My silkie chicks


So This is the one and only Silkie chick I've been able to hatch this summer. I sent off for at least three dozen eggs from different breeders and was only able to hatch this one cute little partridge chick. It wasn't easy, I had to pretty much do all of the "hatching" myself but I think it's going to make it. It's two days old in these pictures.
















This is one of the splash chicks I recently got from back east. It's around 5-6 weeks old.



This is one of the blue silkies that got with the splashes. It's about 5-6 weeks old.

New big brooder

Here are some pictures of the new bigger brooder I've been working on this week.



I built a three foot perch on each side of the brooder for the chicks to hang out on.

This is when it was about 75% done.



These pictures show it at about 95% done. I just need to install the latches and hinges.



This was shortly after I put the Millies in. They really seemed to like the extra room.
