My Boys at least the Roosters

Bantam Buff Brahma

   I kinda have been collecting roosters over the past few months. I have a nice mix so I figured I would show you some. I currently have a Partridge Rock, Sumatra, Light Brahma,Rhode Island Red, SumatraXBarred Rock, Silver Gray Dorkings, Black Rosecomb, and Buff Brahma. Maybe next time I will show you the girls or maybe my Silkies. ENJOY!!

Flock Update

Sumatra chick

The Sumatra chicks are growing really fast, I gave a few of them away. It looks like we have four hens and one rooster. They are always underfoot hoping for a hand out, some of the friendliest chickens I have ever had. I picked up four bantams. A pair of Americana's and two Buff Brahma roosters. We have some Americana/Light Brahma and Delaware/Light Brahma eggs in our incubator.

Tis Chick Season

       My Americana hen's chicks have hatched Light Brahma/Americana and Delaware/Light Brahma. So far she has three but a couple more are pecking. There was some question as to whether the Americana cock we had fathered the chicks but they all have feathers on there legs, so I guess not.The Sumatra/Barred Rock chicks are growing very fast. I think most of them are probably purebred Sumatras. They are from a top show line. On a upsetting note something killed my female turkey last night so the search is on for another female heritage breed turkey

Some Changes

     Well we have made some subtractions and additions to our farm. We sold four of our goats including two of our older ones: our buck Jasper and our first time freshener Clover. She was milking great out of one side but the other side was giving barely anything.
  We also sold our two mixed kids that were born this year, one of my Lionhead rabbits and a Light Brahma rooster. I picked up eight Sumatra and Sumatra cross chicks. I also got a Dominque cross rooster.
 Yesterday after a few months of searching I found a male Lionhead rabbit. So hopefully will have baby rabbits in a month or so.
 My Americana hen is also sitting on about 15 eggs that should hatch this weekend.
