She's a pretty girl! I am no expert though on body shape or quality. ;). I just know what I like, and beautiful babies are what I like to have running around our urban farming back yard. If you are concerned with breeding I would see about getting someone knowledgeable from this thread or the...
I wouldn't worry about the darker feathers, personally, they may go away when she molts all her big girl feathers. ;). And mine are a lighter shade than my Orpington. My buff laced lays a lighter creamy latte' color with dark speckles , and my gold laced lays only ever so slightly darker eggs. ;)
What beautiful babies! Are they the buff colored ones? We started off with two, and sadly had to get rid of them because they were roo's, but we loved them so much we decided to try again and got more. I hope you enjoy them as much as we do! Chickens are such amazing creatures! They bring our...

We have two brahmas in our mix of breeds. They are beautiful big fluffy girls. We're still waiting for their first real molt, but their patterning is lovely, and should be even more so once they get new feathers! We have a gold laced and buff laced. Callie is our gold laced, and Lacey is our...
