We bought two different varieties online: light brahmas and white Plymouth rocks. They are fine looking birds, if you ask me.
We went with a Brahma mainly for their size (14-18 lbs.) and they are good for cold winters (short combs and feathered feet.)
We wanted a second variety and thought the Plymouth Rock would be a good duel purpose to experiment with.
Needless to say, Chester was in big trouble! I was told it was a blood bath..however, one managed to hide from the predator and pulled through.
We think it’s a rooster. Does it look like a he? It’s 7ish weeks old.
The fence is up now. Chester still keeps his eyes on those chickens though!
I see he’s starting to kill the grass from running around the fence scaring those chickies.
I can’t wait to see them all full grown, and the kiddos sure love checking up on them every day! I will keep you updated as the season goes on.
