Hi, Everybody! I'm Phoebus and I'm a chicken farmer!

Not really. I've lived in the mountains of WV for many years now and finally I have some pet chickens! Just got a dozen babies from TC and RK. I have four Golden Comets, an Amaraucana, a Wellsummer, which are five weeks old now (4-13-18) and six rowdy little Easter Eggers. two weeks old. All are supposed to be girls but I'm suspicious of one of the little ones. We'll see!

We built a chicken house, 8x4, with three Little Giant plastic nesting boxes and lots of 2x4 roosts. It also has two double-hung windows and a storm door with opening/closing screen, also an 8x8 outside run. This opens to a big fenced yard where I will eventually let them run around. I sure hope nothing eats them! That's my biggest fear!

I can hardly wait for my brown and blue eggs!!!!

My chickens names are Joan, Melanie, Nancy, Cynthia (on the drums), Janice, VDub, Grace, Little Wing, Rain, Mud, Music and........WOODSTOCK! They're hippie chicks.

Your babies are adorable! If you would like to share Pictures and Stories of them, you have come to the right place. BYC’ers never tire of these and do not back away slowly or commence eye rolling when the photo album or home videos come out ;)

Including your general location on your profile will assist others. Location, climate, season etc can be important factors when members are responding to any questions you may have and vice versa.
