back to chickens :)

Now that everything is SORTA back to normal I can get back to talking about my chickens.   Three of my chickens will be getting new homes on Friday.  Three of the Orps that I hatched out.  Two black ones and the white splash one which is a male.  I can't keep any more males besides the ones I have.  Well, so far I only KNOW of one but I have a little feeling the Phoenix will be a male.  He's getting real pretty coloring.  But that's ok...I can keep him in with the bantams OR try sticking him in with the older hens to see how that goes.  The polish is for sure going in with the bantams.  I KNOW my big mean girls will pull her/his little puff feathers on top of her head out!  I have ONE live silver laced Polish egg still alive from Kelly and that one will also go in the bantam coop IF it survives!  I lost all but one out of that bunch of 15. I guess the weather WAS to warm for eggs shipments :(  I would love to get the bantams soon but first we have to build that coop.  We have been busy and not able to start it yet! 

Here is one lonely pic I wanted to share of our Polish baby...I have to take some pics of the phoenix tomorrow so I can show you what a stud he's turning out to be. 

But for now here is my Polish baby...Just look at that beautiful head of feathers right??  What a sweet bird!
