My chickies

So I looked back and noticed that I hadn't update on the chickens in a while.  They are currently laying quite nicely due to Lance putting a lamp into the chicken house to wake them up early in the morning.  Lance also put in a heat lamp so they are pretty much the most pampered chickens on the block and that is saying something since we have quite a few neighbors who keep chickens.  I am hoping to get 4 more chicks this spring to round out our flock to an even 10.  I am not sure Lance would agree but I don't regret getting the chickens one bit.  Even if caring for them in the winter isn't always a cake walk.  Blowing chicken poop is not fun! I haven't taken pics of them lately because the weather has been yucky but I am going to post some pics I took at the end of summer.  

Hannah and her friend Alexis with Hannah's chicken Goldie - she is a  Buff Orpington

My chicken Jane Austen and JJ's chicken Black Hole - Jane is a Silver Laced Wyandotte, Black Hole is a Plymouth Barred Rock

Hannah with Lance's chicken Roc - she is an Australorp

Grandma J's chicken Princess Buttercup - she is either a Sicilian Buttercup or a Golden Campine

Asher's chicken Chickie right after laying the egg at her feet - she is Black Star

So here's my wish list for the new chickies.  I would like a Gold Laced Wyandotte to go along with my Jane.   I would also like a chicken that lays green or blue eggs so that would be an Ameraucana or Easter Egger.  A Rhode Island Red might be nice too.  You just don't know what the feed stores are going to get in until you go there.  I am leery to try and order them online.
