I've realized I've posted very few chicken pictures since the baby chick rave cave days. So, meet two of our roosters: Caesar in front, our benevolent one, and Nero in the back who lives up to his name and always kind of is eyeing me like he'd like to kill me but hasn't decided how yet.

Maybe this will be a chicken thread? May as well introduce you all to some of the residents!

@rancholibertad Wow, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a chicken with fully black eyes before. All of our backyard hens have orange-ish eyes. Beautiful birds!

@frameadvance It's also not something I've seen, but all three of our Naked Neck roosters have all black eyes. And their eyes are HUGE! We got lucky with this flock, they're lovely. What breeds do you raise?

And thanks 🐔

@rancholibertad Our flock is a mishmash.

Older hens:
- prairie bluebell egger
- calico princess
- black star (lays like a champ, ~300 eggs/yr)

New hens, just starting to lay:
- Plymouth barred rock
- black australorp
- white australorp

They’re so much fun, and we LOVE the fresh eggs and manure for our garden!

@frameadvance what a fun mix! Yes, chickens are great. Hard working friends!
