I love silkies, they are so cute and friendly. I would get some except they really aren't heat hardy and I need breeds that at least having a passing chance of surviving a summer here. I can't run fans or misters to my coop. All they have is shade. The Buff Orpingtons are a risk. They often don't make it more than one summer but they are such a nice breed I'm giving it a go.
that isn't our run, that was our brooder. It was moveable and that day it was out in the yard to let them scratch around. Our chicks hatched first week in February so spent their first 6 weeks indoors. Our coop is 4wx8lx4h with an attached run that is 12lx8wx6h. The girls free range our acre most of the day.

I can't find any pictures of Cinnamon to save my life but I'll leave you with this sweet pic taken down the street from our home. They had just stopped at the gas station for drinks.

Momofmany, that's very cute. :smile:

I love this picture. It's of my miniature donkey jennet Daisy with our mini horse stallion Tonka and my white Finn ewe Maria. It was taken during the drought of last year. No pasture in this picture...fortunately, it is lovely and green now!

Don't even remind me...we had to feed our entire winter supply and purchase more for winter at outrageous prices. It was very difficult to find too. Deo gratias, we've had plentiful precipitation this year and an abundance of that dried grass/legume stuff and pasture that they love so well!

I enjoy the fact they are all looking at the camera, and indeed thinking to themselves "Ok look reallllll cute and he might give us hay"

But the sheep would reply "Nahhhhhhh. We'll just end up on that Tradlist he belongs to. THEN we can ask him for apples!"
