Me: so let me introduce you to my entire chicken flock

What happens when I get fee time to combine my chicken hobby with what I do for work? This of course! I wanted to make a little illustrated graphic for my touch-grass hobby. Here I am, living my chocobo rancher dreams IRL.

I can't believe Lovelace is turning 3 this year! He's really turned out to be one of my best roosters AND people in my poultry club have started asking about him specifically when I sell my lavender cuckoo chicks. My locally famous chicken <3 so proud of him. Ignore my crusty off-brand "lavender" girl in the back, she was 3 dollars XD

Lavender Orpington chickens at Craichlaw Manor House

Can I share something a bit non-art related and more about what I’ve been doing while not at my computer? I got into raising chickens this year, and I’m gearing up for a breeding program in the spring for my English type orpingtons. I hatched all of my current birds from eggs and it’s been amazing watching their development. I would love to find more chicken people out there. I love my tiny dinosaurs so much.

Apollo, my smooth collie show dog, has been such a good poultry shepherd.

If you’re ever interested in frequent animal updates from me, I pretty regularly post to tik tok on @quelpaws if you want to find me.

A lot of you might not know this about me, but I breed chickens ^^ I have a pretty decent sized operation now, mostly from Jan-May, just hatching specialty chicks and selling grown out pullets/cockerels. I'm usually more focused on the actual egg part of chicken breeding (shell quality, colour, bloom and passing down those genetics) but every once and a while I do a few colour projects too! Probably a year and a bit ago I saw a pair of Lavender Brahma's at my local chicken breeders association meet up, and I just thought they were pretty cool! I had just about every non-standard colour variation of brahma hen, so Lavender would have been a nice one to add to the collection. I ended up doing some "research" online, to see if anyone local sold them, but the only listing I could find was $60/chick USD. So by the time I did all the math on the Canadian conversion rate, what I had to do to get them shipped, what it would cost me for vet papers at the border....It wasn't really worth it.

I did have my Lavender Orp breeding flock, AND I had my brahma flock....soooo two generations of VERY lucky breeding and I HAVE THESE!!!!! I have 7 of these beautiful lavender chicks but these two are the MOST promising body condition wise. (I know it looks like the first one has scissor beak but I PROMISE they don't. They were just post-yawn when I took the picture) They're still a little messy, I can already tell the one is going to be a super lavender like some of my Orpingtons, and they'll probably have a bit of splash or colour leakage...but I'm getting sooooo close!! I would love to be able to breed and sell lavender brahmas just for fun, knowing that they're carrying all of my good egg genetics XD ((Also lol no I will not be sharing how I got Lavender genes on a brahma from scratch, ya'll can look through the pictures of the rest of my flock and figure it out for yourself <3 The genetic puzzle is all part of the fun)
