As you can see from the front of the coop, we currently have 4 residents. Patsy, Lilly, Hattie & Jabber.

Patsy & Lilly have been here the longest and we ar enot really certain what kind of birds they are but they are likely Black Sex Links. Hattie and Jabber have just joined the flock this summer as they were chicks we got back in April. Here are their individual photos.
Patsy
She is our alpha hen and is extremely friendly. While not a big fan of being picked up she comes right up to you and will talk and visit.

Lilly is currently #2 in the pecking order and intends to stay there. She has become our little enforcer and she defends the flock from such terrors as squirrels, rabbits, doves, and most importantly, ducks.

More to come on our newbies.
BeautifulOur other two residents came to us in April as chicks. My wife raised them until they moved outside and then they became my responsibility.
Hattie is our lavender orpington hen. She has not starting lying yet but i expect she will once the days turn longer.

Jabberwockie, Jabber for short, was supposed to be an Easter Egger hen, however, he is clearly not a hen.

He and Hattie are inseperable.
Loving this thread, and these wonderful pictures, I'm so glad I noticed your link attached to your user name. I gotta be up in 3hrs to let my troop out for their daily free range, so I'm going to read the rest of this thread later - really looking forward to reading more. Thank you so much for sharingOK, how about some pictures of the chicks from back in April of last year?
Let's start with Fluffy Butts, what better place?

I love your philosophy about keeping hens regardless of eggs. I figure everyone deserves a kind and gentle retirement, once her work is done. My chickens are all pets, too (some better than others!) and I am looking forward to more about the Fluffy Butt residents. They are beautiful birds.
So I saw proof today that the chicks are fully grown. I was like, "Please get a room. The coop is empty right now. I don't need to see this!"
Here they were afterwards......
