Hi all, From Texas! This is my first post, but I've been lurking for a while, trying to learn all I can before I got my chicken girls. I got them from a friend, who raised the chicks from eggs she got from her friend, who has a mixed flock. So I'm pretty sure they're "mutts", and I'm totally okay with that, but I'm curious about what breed combinations they might be. Thanks for your help!
Agatha - look at those gray legs.
Alice - she has yellow legs
Edith - she's quite a bit smaller than the others, and has dark gray/mottled legs. I see some green sheen to the feathers towards her tail.
Fern, in the middle - she's solid black with dark gray/mottled legs like Edith - but she's beginning to show some brown or copper tones around her neck.
Thank you for all the information you guys post. We made the bucket-and-pvc-elbow feeder, and purchased a Brite-tap waterer, and the girls learned how to use both in the first afternoon in their new home. Getting them in the new coop the first night was a trick, but the next night they were all tucked in when I went to put them up. Do I have smart girls, or what?
