What are the choices for mommas? That will help narrow things down.

Well, the kittens aren't so cute anymore and the easter egger cockerels are in the freezer. Plus, I think offering them as "prizes" scared folks off! So, I'm still posting quotes, if you know it let me know. I'm very enamored of this new one, it may hang around for a while!

That's the problem. The person I got the eggs from hasn't responded so I'm not sure what all was in that pen. I do know that they were all LF layer hens. Buff Orps and Delawares are the only ones I can identify off the bat.

they'll be easier to identify when they are about 5 or 6 weeks old

God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change; 
courage to change the things I can; 
and wisdom to know the difference.

In Jesus name Amen :)
