Hi all. Looking for some advice please. Does this hen seem to have any green in her? Her tail coverts have a green and bronze sheen. Her chest is chestnut. Cheers.

The same hen. The green goes down to her chest, which has clear scaling. It was very overcast today, hence lack of shine with her colour. Thanks.

Last one, thanks again.

She's a Spalding hen. They'll sometimes get a green sheen in their tail covert.

Yes it looks to be Spaulding, but more importantly, and a big benefit, is that she is a Dark Pied.

Our 1st "chickpea" of 2017! Hatched this morning.

Here's his/her papa, Ricky Ricardo:

And Ricky's lovely wife Lucy:

Lucy is brooding a clutch due to hatch in the next week, so I'll hopefully have some pics of them for you. I have a few more eggs in the 'bator... cross your fingers!

Thanks Birdrain. Yes, her coverts have a lovely sheen. Will try and get a decent pic when the sun is out.

Caught our BBS yearling Junior admiring himself in the patio doors this morning. LOLOL!!

He was mortified at being caught in his adolescent narcissism & attempted a hasty escape:

Not even five minutes later, as I pulled out of the driveway,

I found him right back immersed in himself, challenging my

+ year-old lilac to a beauty contest:

I've a feeling Junior is going to be a handful.
