This was the last of my bucket list,to have chickens.I ordered the chicks some time ago from Meyers Hatchery & on July 11 they were delivered to the post office.Everyone at the post office were oooing & ahhhing over the small chrips from inside the box. We got them home & with some special help from my son,we got them situated in a galvanized tub in my bird room.They had sent me 10 when I only ordered 8 hens & 1 rooster,but I was glad as the 1 little yellow hen did not make it.I ordered some that will lay the blue & maybe pink eggs.
The chicks grew really fast quickly! & soon we were taking them to the outside hutch my late husband had made me for the bunnies who now live indoors in the birds room,too hot for them outdoors.
My granddaughter was given a duck during the Path Valley barnyard games,so now we have a duck to add at some point,lol,I hope I can put Sally the duck in with the chickens at some point.Sally smells.

Oh, I love the pictures and your granddaughter is so precious.
Awww too sweet! Looks like a lot of fun! Have a beautiful week!
So nice! I grew up with the chickens my grandfather kept in the house next door to ours. We shared a back yard and I got to know each by name and even could recognize their individual eggs by size, shape and color-- and often where they were deposited.
They are so sweet, all of them! Family and the critters!
I'd love chickens, but hubby cannot eat eggs!!!! :-(
Ducks don't scare me but geese will peck!
Love, love, love this post!!! I too am anxious to have chickens and can't wait. Loved seeing your setup...and the sweetie with her duck as well!
