Some New Additions to Green Acres!

This week we had some new additions to Green Acres!  I finally convinced my sweet husband (after 5 years) that I just can't live without having some chickens.  I just LOVE my new little babies!

This is Susie.  She is a White Silkie.  She is so sweet!


This is Geraldine.  She is a White Leghorn Hen. She is a couple of weeks older than the other chicks and she acts like a Mommy to the little ones!


This is Henrietta.  She is a Buff Orpington Hen.


This is Rosie.  She is a Frizzle Hen.  She is soooo cute!!


This is Buttercup.  She is a Rhode Island Red Hen.


This is Pickles.  She is a Barred Rock Hen.


Soooo, when I went to buy these baby chicks at a Ranch the other day,  they had two other cute things that I just had to take home.  My husband was not amused....LOL  So here is:

This is Peter.  He is a Peacock!!


And this is Tom.  He is a Tom Turkey!!  He has quite the personality!

I am just finishing up the final touches of my Chicken Coop and I will post pictures as soon as I am done.  It is bright Yellow and I have been hanging up some of my vintage signs on the outside and inside.

You have been absent a long time! I was getting worried! You are going to love being a chicken Mama! I have hens, and they are wonderful pets!!! Your peacock will be far more challenging!! They are very loud!!!! Watch out!!!
I can't wait to see your coop!

PS
I have a Barred Rock also and a New Hampshire Red (almost like your Rhode Island Red)!

Rosie and Pickles are my favorites. Am I allowed to have favorites? I cannot believe tht you also went with a turkey and a peacock. Turkeys can be extremely territorial and mean to visitors so be careful, but they are good "guard dogs". Have fun with all your new babies!
