These are my Mottled / Spangled pullets. I think they are beautiful. I had hoped the black one would get more white, but I guess that happens after the first molt- hopefully. She is such a shiny black, her feathers shine green in the sun

Beautiful! I have a rooster I was hoping for a hen. ( I can't have any crowing roosters. So for now I have a collar on my wyandotte. And will be rehoming my ORP but I will be getting more in spring! Here is mine they are sure pritty birds it my weakness. And I love how they are a green in the light

The more pictures of these guys I see the more I don't want to let my rooster go! However I don't have any ORP hens for him and the lady that wants to take him has nice splash ORP hens so I feel like she deserves him and I will get chicks from her

They are my weakness too. I suffer from Chicken math. I don't need more than 5 hens in my yard, but somehow have 7- can't make a choice on who to rehome. Guess I will cross that road later. LOL.

My problem is I want super layers, and pretty birds. I know that my fav breeds are not gonna lay like I need. I have brown leghorns that are 6 months and only 2 started to lay but then stopped. I have to say that for me the 1 ISA brown hen I have is sooo reliable but UGLY!! But she never stopped even when it was 121°!! I was hoping the leghorns could pick up and I could have my orps and blue wyandottes since they are my passion!! Is just that they dont lay enough to sustain my family. I would like to have a nice trio of both ORP and WYND and then I think I'll end up with 5 ISA browns.

At our old house we had property and started out with 8 one day my husband went out to the back and came back and said when did we get 32 chickens!! I would bring them home 2 or 3 at a time lol what's 2 more ?

LOL. I have been trying to get just the right combination to suit me. So far this year, I have hatched, raised and given away 18 chickens to end up with my 7. Two more need to go, but I just don't have the heart. the oldest, Alberta, is a buff orpington almost 3 yrs old and my pal. She would be one to go since her laying days are numbered. She has been a problem child all year, broody, molting, broody. I think she has laid 5 eggs this year. But, I can't let go of her. Same with the others. Oh well, I guess I can stand to have 7. Don't know quite what will happen in the spring though.
