Last year we got Sylvia and Lydia from a local breeder. I was told that they were a cross between two breeds, but I can't remember which, any ideas?
Lydia died over the winter, leaving a very sad and lonely Sylvia behind. She never wanted to leave our side, and would perch on the back of our chairs when we were workign in the office. We didn't mind, but Argyle the parrot was very very jealous and didn't like her around at all. So we went to the feedstore in the spring and brought home 3 chicks:
I was told that they are 2 black Langshan and 1 Sussex. Does they look like what we were told they are? Here they are growing up, the 2 Langshans are looking different- one has more white. Is she a mix then? Or a blue? (eta. whats the difference between German and Croad Langshan...?)
Well, Sylvia would have nothing to do with the chicks, so I went back to the feedstore to get a friend for her that was her age. Naturally they had only roosters. Fortunately, as long as we bring them inside the garage at night, the neighbours aren't disturbed by his crowing. I was not told anything about this guy's background; but he was living in a tiny wire cage (like the kind sold for guinea pigs which really aren't good sized for guinea pigs though) with another rooster, which I was surprised by, I thought roosters didn't get along).
Any Ideas what breed(s) Pasquale the rooster is?
When I got Pasquale, the feed store also just got in some Easter Eggers, and I couldn't resist getting one. I understand they can all look different, right? But I'd still appreciate any guesses as to what Mary the Easter Egger might look like as an adult....
If you need to see large versions of the photos, or soem other photos of them too, just go to my gallery here: http://www.fithfath.com/agangi/gallery/main.php?g2_itemId=709
