Adventure is in the spirit of the young

I got some beautiful peacocks and are free ranging them now! It is so amazing to have beautiful peacocks walking all around the yard! There is three of them.

Our friends had to move and their yard was to small for their peacocks so they are letting us watch them for a few years! I will be so sad when the peacocks will have to go. 😭

My little chicks are growing so big so quickly! There almost old enough to care for themselves. It’s been a little rough for these guys, they have had a skunk come in once and they get bullied by the other chickens. But there growing up and soon will be able to take care of themselves .

I have been waiting a long time for these guys to hatch they are my silky chicks!

I was supper excited for my silky chickens to hatch some eggs. I have never hatched any fancy chickens before! They are SO cute and funny I love them so much! Please give this post a like if you think these guys are cute.

Sometimes this causes problems when I feed Them.

When I first started caring for chicken, I was only 5 years old. I loved them from the start, but I also liked to harass them. When I was young, I loved to chase my chickens all over the yard. But one day one of my chickens, died. It was the saddest thing, I ever saw. That is how I developed my deep love for chickens, I gave my chickens the greatest love a kid could ever offer.

I love my chickens, and I hope you do to!
