Beautiful Eggs...

I ♥ Eggs...
We got 18 eggs yesterday from our 28 girls.

I was so excited when I found our 1st egg... on Aug. 4. I havent bought store eggs since! I love going to the coop and collecting eggs, lol. The most we've gotten in a day has been 24, the lowest 11. We collected 118 eggs last week... our families and friends love them too.

Our 3 Roosters...

Yesterday I took some pic. of our 3 Roosters...
They all get along pretty good, they have 28 girls to protect.

Our Mean Lil Sally Sue... I think hes a Wheaten OEG Bantam?

Giving me the stink eye, lol

Then he had to crow to let me know hes the boss...
atleast thats what "He Thinks", lol

Flogging me as I walk away... thats why I wear the boots all the time!

This is Big Daddy... 1 of our Buff Orpington,
He is The Head Rooster

Big Daddy with some of the girls

Chicken Noodle... our other BO Rooster

Chicken Noodle and Big Daddy...


They come on the back porch looking for cat food! When I feed our outside cat I only put alittle in the dish cause I dont think cat food is good for chickens.

BO Momma and Chickies... 6 weeks old











This one looks sad... it wants out with the big chickies, lol

They are getting so big...

The Guineas...

When I looked out the back door yesterday morning this is what I saw...

3 out of our 5 guineas sitting on the porch rail, lol

Then they decided to fly to the roof...


He/She is getting ready to go up there with the rest of them...

Then they flew right back down into the yard to peck around, lol

All 5 of them...

I still have no idea how many boys/girls we have or what kind we have...
Oh well I'll be hunting the yard this Spring looking for guinea eggs

2nd BO Broody...

I know, I know... I said I wasnt going to hatch anymore chickies til Spring, but I just cant help myself!!! I ♥ Chickens and their eggs! Whats a couple more chickies when you already have 40...... I put 5 eggs under her. (3 EE, 1 BO or RIR, cant tell and 1 bantam)

If I get another bantam egg today I'm going to put it under her too :)



Start look for chickies around Thanksgiving... they are my b-day present to me

BO Chickies 5 weeks old

I took these pics. Oct. 25, the chickies are a month old in them... today they are 5 weeks old and we only have 5 now, the outside cat got one the other night, so I'm not letting them free range unless I am right there... Momma is not too happy about that!








Checking out my boot, lol
