You bought WHAT???



Yea.....I drove out to Colonial Beach, VA and picked up 9 more chicks.....I like to call them the mystery bunch...

The daddy was an Ameracauna, 1 mommy was a Rhode Island Red, 1 mommy was a Buff Orpington and 1 mommy was a Speckled Sussex.


...had them a little over a week now...we have some names...

The 1 brown one with the racing stripe is Buddy

The 1 yellow one with the racing stripe is princess

There is a black one who's face reminds me of a penguin face....his/her name is penguin face

*I do not know the sexes yet

BOY AM I BEHIND!!!

Again....life gets in the way of happy posting!!!  Been busy busy!  August was pretty hot, but the girls all started laying in a good rhythm.  Started getting 7 eggs a day.....small and light at first..then larger and larger...




....THEN about 3 weeks ago...the ladies went out to range (as they do daily)...and hopped the fence to the woods (as they do daily)....they even started taking Campbell with them....2 of them decided not to come home and are either living with someone else, living the high life of rouge wild chickens in trees OR they got eaten by animal or person....don't know.
