I went to my first chicken auction on Saturday night to find a nice Barred Rock rooster to go with my hens. I managed to find an 8-month-old who was friendly. I also got another rooster (not exactly sure what kind), but he didn’t make the photoshoot because he decided to run around in the woods for 6 hours.
heheheheh it`s wonderful chickens
they look healthy.
are they the same chickens from http://justintadlock.com/archives/2012/05/10/cute-little-chicks ?
Two of the hens are. I traded and gave away some.
I also just got 4 free bantams a couple of weeks ago that were just beginning to lay, but my grandmother needed some chickens. So, I gave them to her.
I think he was finding for your hens…ha ha ha
Chickens are the best. Little personalities. Keep a close eye on them, as fox like them a lot.
Make sure they stay away from your keyboard…
Justin, I’ve been reading your articles for years – I’ve learned so much from them, and am SO appreciative of everything you do for the WordPress community. I don’t think I’ve ever commented before, but now I just HAVE to speak up and say… this makes me like you even more. LOL. Enjoy your wonderful chickens!
Thanks for the kind words. It means a lot.
You’d be surprised at the number of emails I get when I post something like this from people telling me they’ll no longer read my blog because it’s not all about WordPress (never mind that my site’s tagline is “Life, Blogging, and WordPress”).
