What did you do with your flock today?

[JacinLarkwell]

Mine mainly have purposes (like the 16 males I mentioned are for dinners), but I also consider the girls a type of pet so long as they do their jobs and don't cause problems.

I like when they pose for my camera too, give me a chance to show them off better given my limited photography talent.

Do they lay small eggs or full size

Do they lay small eggs or full size

No clue yet. They're early April babies so they're not quite there. I imagine they'll be the same size as my normal eggs that are layed, nothing super large though

Guess we will wait these two are rogue little dickens they spent one night in my coop then did not see them for week . One day saw them walk out of the Hazelnut grove in the chicken yard .. Tried to find them at nightr up there no luck .. Soon they started coming down for food.
Finally trapped them yesterday

New here. I've started to just sit with my young flock from this years chicks. I sit with the other groups occasionally, but I just really click with this particular group. One if my sebright pullets, Darling, is the first bird I've ever had squat for me and I just adore it.

Welcome!

My Silkie where the ones I could pick up.
My basic nature is that I was raised of farm all had jobs not pets ..

Yup! It’s really cute, until there’s 5+ chickens fighting for a place on my lap. XD

Mosaic. I've got 3 female and 2 males for that breed. It's nice, each one is different looking, so I dont need bands to tell them apart, even though theyre still going to get some for other people's sake
