So I decided I would start a chicken blog to help me keep track of my new flock and show pictures of them. Seeing as we now have 42 chickens, I thought keeping some notes on them would be a good idea. As of today there ages range from 4 months- 5 days old. We bought several at an auction Friday night and they include my two new silkies, 6 barred rocks and 22 white rocks.
My 2 Silikies are:
Rhett (roo)- 4 months
Scarlett- 4 months Scarlett actually laid her first egg for me on 4-20-14
My 2 White Leghorns are:
Foghorn (roo)- 10 weeks old
Henny Penny- 10 weeks
2 Rhode Island Reds (RIR):
Rosie- 7 weeks
Sophia- 7 weeks
1 Black Australorp:
Lulu: 7-8 weeks
1 ISA Brown:
Daisy: 7 weeks
2 Silver Laced Wyandotte:
PutPut (roo): 7 weeks
Gwendalyn: 7 weeks
1 Wellsummer:
Blanche: 7 weeks
1 Ameraucana:
Dorthy: 6 weeks
1 Black Jersey Giant:
Effie: 5 weeks
1 Panfry( cornish cross):
Cinder: 5 weeks
6 Barred Rocks: all 5 days old
Mammy
Beulah
Norma Jean
Snickers
Dancer
Luna
We also have the 22 white rocks that are 4-5 weeks old. I will name them later because I don’t know how many are roos and how many are hens. I’m thinking of just keeping a few and either selling the rest or raising them seperate for meat.
I am very new to this chicken raising thing and so far it has been great. I love taking care of my chicky babies and I’m anxious to see how they grow up. I also want to get a few guineas to help with bug control and help protect my growing flock.
