Thank you all! Yeah Cheeka, you just never know what you're going to end up with.  Mine, especially Mean Bird, are constantly changing now.  She first feathered out a Buff Orpington color, now she is switching the buff feathers for a deep gold, as you can see.  I will do another update when they are laying!! That will probably be another 5 weeks.  Their combs have not grown or reddened a single bit from 14 to 19 weeks.  I love watching them grow :)

3 Welsummers, 8 Cinnamon Queens, 2 Easter Eggers, 1 barred rock, 1 Blue Wheaten Ameraucana, 1 leghorn/ameraucana cross, 2 RIR and 7 EE/OE chicklets, 6 rabbits, 1 mischievous housecat, one Catahoula bulldog, and one amazing husband to share it all with!  Just call me coop queen!

Here are some of my up and coming that I'm loving! 

 

Jack, the father, a way too colorful Splash Copper Marans and Juanita, the mother, a beardless, blue laying EE, created these 3 ....full blooded sisters....the variety is just amazing!
