No, not a farm Willy but I'm on 10 acres and have 4 coops plus two small ones for chicks. They are all outside except for this group which is in my family room.
Thanks everyone for your comments. These guys are doing well this morning even though that centre one had a rough start. Didn't hatch on it's own and took 12 hours till it managed to get on it's feet. Today they are already eating and drinking and sleeping a lot. The first group of 7 are now outside in my tiny coop. I had been taking them in and out every day but for the last two nights I've left them without a heat lamp and they seem fine. They sleep huddled in a big pile and keep each other warm. I really want to hang on to those two brownish ones just to see what colour they turn out to be.
No I still have the last 7 Ardy. I didn't want to let the two standards go by themselves and anyone interested didn't want bantams so I never posted them. Now I'm already suspecting the two standards are both roos but it's early and I could be wrong. I think these are all Orpingtons but I do have the 3 old girls which aren't so anything is possible. I've never had any with the colour of the two at the back. They're kind of brownish and I have nothing in that colour so I'm guessing they'll be changing.
