I’ve opened up a store, and am selling note cards (1 sided, like a postcard) of my chicken breed images! I hope to be adding many more things to the store, but here we go!
Here are the images:
Seriously. Seriously. I so wish i could have one of these adorable girls in my flock. I would get nothing done. I would just watch it walking around, bumping into things, being adorable…. I would live a blissful, stress-free life….ahhhh. However. I have some serious meanies in my flock, who would take great joy in plucking her bald. So, she’s not for me, but…. i can dream.
I currently have a Buff in my teeny flock, and i would definitely consider getting another one. She’s a great layer, will patiently sit on my lap and let me hug her, and fat and pretty. The only thing I don’t like about Buffy, is that she’s wormed her way to the top of the pecking order and can be a bit of a bully to my favorite, Polly. 
So lovely, so velvetty, such good egg layers… definitely a contender!
I just love these! and check out the chocolately brown eggs! I think she would be a nice addition to our flock.
Next spring, we’ll be adding a couple of new cuties to our micro-flock. i’ve started the research… mostly using My Pet Chicken (it’s where we bought our first girls, so we’ll be going here again.) The different breeds are all so pretty, I’ve decided to illustrate all the top contenders. Here’s Lady # 1.
I’ll be blogging about life with my micro-flock here!
Polly is beautiful. Officially, She’s an Easter-egger chicken. Which means she’ll lay green or green-blue eggs. But right now she mostly just eats, sleeps and occasionally tips over. She totally stole my heart.
So, a few years ago we ripped up our yard in order to grow lots of vegetables, fruit and wildflowers. It’s been a pretty awesome and rewarding experience. The backbreaking part is over- now it’s a matter of planning, planting and weeding.
This year, we decided to add some chickens. We ordered them from MyPetChicken and yesterday they arrived. We picked up a very noisy package from the post office- and now- here they are! 4 new members of the family! Backyard pets, fertilizer-makers and egg layers! We opted for 4 different breeds- all based on winter-hardiness, disposition, and egg laying capability.
Here’s Buffy. She’s a Buff Orpington and incredibly sweet. She’s the tiniest one, but is pretty pushy. And she loves to be held and smoosh in the middle of her flockmates.
