My Oklahoma Hens Are Layin...

Do you remember the post on when my Oklahoma Chickies Hatched... Well my sweet Oklahoma chicken/crochet friend mailed me a dozen hatchin eggs last spring... 7 hatched. I lost 1 pullet over the summer due to the heat... I got 1 rooster & 5 beautiful hens out of the April hatch & the hens have started layin...

I think hes a beautiful rooster

& I love her coloring

The one on the lefthand side is a Oklahoma hen :)

...Lil Peep...

I caught lil peep in the coop layin her egg in the nestbox this mornin...

My New Hens...

I picked these 6 girls up Monday from my friend The Goodwife... she couldnt keep them anymore because they are movin to Montana. I'm sad to see them move out of Kentucky so fast but happy for them on their new adventure. I'm thankful God brought them here & we got to meet in person & became real life friends, I'm thankful I got to buy Tulip & Star from her.

The white ones are Delawares, the brown ones with the feathers on their cheeks are Salmon Favorelles, the dark brown one with speckles is a Speckled Sussex, and Afrane Jane is a Silver Polish... she belonged to The Goodwifes daughter. These girls are beautiful & they have given me 4 eggs so far, I put them in the Silkie coop/pen

Happy girls at their new home :)

She thinks shes hiddin...

I heard one of the hens makin alot of noise down in the barnyard...
so I went snooping & so glad I did.

Wonder how many other hidden nest are down there, lol

* I did walk around & didnt find anymore, I'll have to check this spot from now on to see if shes gonna keep layin there.

Chicken Shack All Clean

Finally got to finish cleanin all the coops on Thursday, cleanin the Chicken Shack took me all day, we've had this coop alittle over 2 years & I have never sprayed it down when I've cleaned it & boy does that make a difference. I'm gonna clean out, sweep, spray down twice a year now. Spring & Fall Coop Cleaning. My in laws brought me their wood ash for the chickens to dust bath in.

Ramdon Barnyard Pictures...

Just some of the animals on Our Little Farm out doin their thing...

This lil duckling is one of my favorites... because it lets me pick it up & love on it, I try to hold it alittle everyday. I'm kinda thinking its a girl.

I think this pekin is a girl too...
I'm still not seeing the drake curl, so thats a good sign.

Ginger & her May chicks still hang out in the main yard, I tried to put em in the barnyard yesterday but that didnt last long, lol. The chicks fit right through the chain link fence & Momma can fly over.

So Cute... All 5 of "my" duckings are doing great. They are 1 month old now. I love watchin em.

Lou Lou & her 3 ducklings still hang out together but I have noticed the ducklings goin off on their own more. Does anyone know when Momma hens start back layin eggs? I'm guessin its gettin close to that time.

& we all love Princess Porkchop

Ginger & her babies stopping by for a nice cool drink

1 of my favorite lil girls I hatched out this year, she lets me hold her too. Here she is a 1 Month Old

The barnyard animals & their own area

We finally got the back yard fenced in for most of the barnyard animals to hang out & free range in all day. I love it. They have everything they need... shelter, water, free food, shade to cool off in. Its really nice to go down & hang out with them under the shade trees. We had to also put an electric fence around all of it but the back fence, Porkchop figured out she could escape after about a week. The day we put the electric fence up she got shock about 4 different times... She learned her lesson & wont go near the fence now, lol.

I've been hangin out with the animals & gettin some really cute pics. to share. The bantams (that live in the bantam tractor) get to free range in the big yard in the evenings, a few chickens/ducks can & do fly over & hang out in the big yard all day.
