I just thought I'd post a picture of my baby Cinder's beautiful eyes! She's a Sapphire Gem with central heterochromia.
She's also my sweet little shadow, one of the three babies I hand raised this summer who follows me everywhere. ❤️
Anyone else have a chicken with unique eyes? I'd love to...
Just had to share the funny little anomaly that is Owl, our little Barred Plymouth Rock girl. When she was a chick, she had just a bit of fluff on both her legs that went away fairly quickly. But now, at 8 weeks, she has grown two little feathers on only one foot. It is the funniest looking...
So I have three 4 week old chicks (exactly 28 days today), one barred rock (Owl), one sapphire gem (Cinder), and one buff orpington (Daisy). The orpington I'm not concerned about, as I'm about 99% certain she's a pullet. The barred rock I vacillated on for a while due to temperament and a more...

All were bought at a local feed store and were marked...
Just thought I'd introduce myself now that I've officially joined!
(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
We have had chickens for that past four years, the first five we "inherited" as adult hens when we bought our house 😁 Unfortunately, two of our original flock have...
