Here are some, they love to hang out out front by the "screendoor" I made. Its mostly my turkeys, marans and silver sebrights. You can see a guinea and a red silkie. The mostly white silver sebright in the front is Blondie, she was so white when she hatched, I think she's beautiful. You can see part of the original pen I built for them before they learn to fly and land on the top rail of it. I am going to get a pic of one of poults doing the adult male pose, so funny, one month old and they have it down!

O wow they look like they are waiting for food...

They love hanging by the door,They can look out into the driveway/yard. I did give them strawberries this weekend. We went strawberry picking and any squishy ones went to them and my parrots. I have given them an apple and some corn on the cob too. They LOVED them! and millet but only when I "call" them so they learn to come when I call them.
Its funny, they all sleep together in their old "holding" pen in the corner where I used to hang a heatlamp when it was really chilly at night. You couldn't see it, they have two one gallon waterers and a 50lb hanging feeder (full) that I am hanging next weekend. I am a lil paranoid about hanging it so I am hanging it but just above blocks of wood so nothing can get under it. I feed them like I do everything else I have (except the fish ofcourse) keep the food and water full and let them freely eat.
Waterers are another questions to post!

Your silver seabrights are beautiful, I have to get a picture of mine. They have a lot of white on them. Your coop is so nice and clean, you did a great job on it. I was wondering about adding my little banties with the bigger chicks, do they do alright together?

I am new at keeping fowl. Everyone gets along. I have found that I can pick up any of the marans easily, the silkies and sebrights are a little harder to, I think they are a little more high strung than then the regular sized chickens. And the turkey are so funny and so easy to get along with (makes Thanksgiving a little harder) So far I haven't run into any problems with the different sizes. I will find out about more as the get older. After watching them for hours, I have found that the bantams have no fear of bigger birds, my silkies chest butt everyone.
