Hi🙋🏻‍♀️ - I’m new here

[NickiesChickies]

Hi everyone. I got my first chicks on April 4th 2020. I was told I was getting 2 female Buff Orpingtons, 5 female Black Australorps and one male Black Australorp. This was all true except I believe one of my female Black Australorps is actually a male Jersey Giant!! Surprise!! I have 2 males.

I live in CT and we built a coop with a 12x12x10 enclosed run attached. We free range (supervised by us humans and our two border collies) twice per day to ensure hawks and the fox stay away.

Our favorite part is interacting with the flock. They’re more like pets and have been handled since 1 week old on a daily basis. They respond to verbal cues and sometimes visual. They’re super sweet and inquisitive.

I stumbled upon this awesome site while googling and I LOVE it. Thanks for being so supportive!!

Here’s some photos of my flock in their run. Also the close up is what I believe is the Jersey Giant (Mr Gaszpacho).
