here they are in their new home, we converted an old dog pen to a chicken pen, each row has it's own house, and we turned this house into a brood area for baby chicks. later we can open the back door and let them run down the dog run.

I got 9 diff pullet varieties and 9 diff roosters to go with the pullets. they gave me 2 free males that were named varieties. I have no idea which ones I lost.

I have some cockoo marans and welsummers coming on the 21st but they are local. So I hope I have enough hens and dont' have to clear out the roosters , I got one rooster for each set of pullets so I could separate and incubate my own eggs next time.

This was very expensive. buying on line. Its expensive enough to buy them locally. but at least you don't have to pay for the shipping.
