New Chickens

We switched flocks recently and put the newer chickens over to the old coop and took the old birds to the butcher. I was very glad to get rid of this flock. The rooster and about half of the hens were always trying to get out of their yard. And into my garden! This new flock doesn't show any signs of flying over the fence so perhaps they will stay where we want them.

We have a new rooster. No name yet. I think he is a Old English Game Bantam. He was a bonus chick added to our order. It is always a mystery as to what it might be.

We went back to about half Dominiques which are our favorite breed.

This white and black hen is a Columbian Wyandotte.

This is a Partridge Rock. They are pretty good birds also.
