buff orpington hen

Great Shot from an Old Cellphone of my Friends Buff Orpington Hen (not the same one as mine that is in recurring photos)

This is a Breed Standard Perfect Hen. And What A Classic Photo.

Suki the Japanese Silkie rooster and Coughy the Dominique hen

These were our very first eggs. Haha, we didn’t even KNOW that we owned heritage breed and colorful egg layers; we had an easter egger and a cuckooed maran that supplied those color-rich eggs.

My Day-Old Chicks from Tractor Supply Company.

These four were Fancy Bantam Breeds

True Warrior & True Keeper of the Flock. Our smallest chicken maintained the Top of the Pecking Order!

I LOVE YOU SUKI

MiMi, golden sex-link, the confident heroic dog-attack survivor noble king and his newest love interest Grace the Salmon Favorelle mix young hen. They LOVED to pose!

First to Be Born On The Farm!!

the two violent roosters, first chickens to be born on the farm, that had to be rehomed. more here

Mimi the Golden Sex Link Rooster and Grace the Salmon Favorelle Hybrid (maybe purebred? dont think so though). Boyfriend and Girlfriend. Loved The Camera!

me and my cock of rock king of roost BOY! he was always under my arm, or out in the yard. Check this…legit top of the pecking order…and every other chicken was 2 to 4 times his size. HE WOULD JUMP TO POKE THE BACKS OF THE BIG ROOSTERS! GO SUKI YOU TRUE WARRIOR!!

the style, not the chicken breed,😉. a neighbor boy loved to play with the birds. he was very brave and gentle, i was impressed. He was 4 years old.

Our Truest Survivor—came through a viscious dog attack. This is the photo we sent the vet clinic after we treated him inside for 2 weeks with IM antibiotics and wound lavage. They just HAD to see what a recovery was made! he had a huge hole in his back! The vet clinic made a big deal out of him on their facebook page. I was blown away…so many sincere loving comments from complete strangers poured in. it was one of my first beautiful experiences on social media.

The unfriendly rooster bros lived inside for a couple of weeks before they were re-homed.

Our Neighbor’s Wild Game Cock that he FOUND AND CAUGHT!!

Beloved by us all.

our neighbor’s wild caught gamecock sitting in his two story coop. first floor was open air space with a sand floor. Good Setup!

Prince MiMi before he became Valient Warrior King MiMi, was a shy boy. My ex (who was mimi’s rightful parent) should have named him David.

First Yard. First Try. First Up-cycled Coop. First Addition of Young Pullets and Cockerels. (see cat kennel at the door? 😁)

SEE THE CAT KENNEL AT THE DOOR!…NEW CHICKADEES MOMENTS BEFORE THE PHOTO TAKEN. THIS WAS DAY ONE, MOMENT ONE, OF THE REST OF OUR LIVES AS POULTRY FARMERS.

IT SUCKS THAT THE PHOTOS OF THE UPDATED AND PAINTED COOP ARE GONE. BUT IM THANKFUL THIS PHOTO MADE IT ACROSS TIME

Lucille II The Easter Egger. Brooding. Sitting on Her Clutch of Eggs. Our First Chickens Conceived, Born, and Raised on The Farm!

Buff Orpington Rooster.

our neighbor’s one rooster. he had over 20 hens to himself.

Our Neighbor’s Flock of Buff Orpingtons aren’t taking too kindly to the new addition of a unique exotic breed chicken.

(btw if anyone has any idea, pls let me know, I’ve looked everywhere and can’t figure out what breed(s) this hen is)

Laid by the hens

Suki my True Boo. Actual Head of Pecking Order! Japanese Silkie. Not Technically or Formally considered a Bantam Breed! FUN FACT!

White Fluffy Japanese Silkie Rooster. Looks like a painting!
