Backyard Chicken Farmers

I sold two ducklings last night but before that I had 1 week, 2 week and 4 week. The difference in size is incredible in such short time. Brahmas and pekins will be very close in size as adults though both around 7-9 pounds.

wow didnt realize the brahmas would get that big. I really had no plans of getting them except my daughter liked there "snow boots" so home they came

The roosters are monsters but brahmas are incredibly docile.

You ever replace your 3?

Yes. Took my daughter to a breeder in blairsville and got 3 4 week old EE's. That's why I couldn't make it to the swap. I'll try to make the next one, coop should be done by then and ready for some laying hens.

Those aren't EE's unless they are using the term loosely as in they lay blue/green/pink eggs. They actually look very RIR/RSL/NHR.
