Chickens

Wanted to start out with a picture of our chickens that will be 3 months old on Friday. We made them a bigger pen to run around in. Posted on Craigslist so hoping someone calls soon as having 100+ chicks that go through 3 bags of feed a week is expensive!! lol You can see the turkens in the first picture bottom right corner are 2 of them.

Alcohol inks

They can be super fun. This is a technique that one of my friends brought to my attention and it is fun!!! I buy my inks from Joy and Daisy I love their store.. lol

here is a video of our chickens done with my laptop. The ones in a box are our little bantam chicks and a couple of little ones. Also the white one Kookie named snowball is in there right near the outside of the box.

Lots of chicks

We got our baby chicks yesterday after 2 trips to Rothschild to get them at the Post office distribution center. The 2 boxes didn't come together and they couldn't find the 2nd one. So made 2 trips and got them going. The pictures aren't that good as we are fighting an infarred bulb in the heat lamps and that red color messes up the pictures.. lol We have 84 in our garage now.

We ordered a mixed assortment their choice so we have a lot of different breeds of chickens. We ordered all our chickens from www.mcmurrayhatchery.com

This first one is a Turken. It doesn't grow hair on it's long neck but is a good layer of brown eggs and can withstand cold temps well.

The 2nd picture is our Bantams. They are harder to keep going as they are small. The white one is our free exotic chick that they give you with your order. My girlfriend named it Snowball and it is doing very well considering we didn't think it would live at first but looks fine now.

These last two are a feeding frenzy.. Again sorry for the pics as that lightbulb isn't helping. They are all shades of brown, black, some yellow
