These are my girls.
From left to right:
M'Egghen, Stevie, Mary and Bonzo
M'Egghen, sounds like a toy horn when she speaks, and hasn't (to my knowledge) laid yet.
Her original coopmate, Stevie, is laying tiny minty green eggs, on the daily now.
Mary is laying slightly larger strawberry pink...
I noticed just a few minutes ago in the sunlight, that Mary's feathers have a significant amount of the 'gasoline' blues in there. (I love those blue black look) but I hadn't seen that on Friday. I know a mom shouldn't say this about her girls, but Mary's head is just...more buzzardy. 😆 lumpy...
Yeah....Mary just gives me the boy vibe. I'm not experienced enough to determine anything more than a vibe though. 😆
Any suggestions of which breeds mixed? The seller said they were mixed...but he also had quails and pheasants and muskovies and oodles of other birds.
Here's my new little girls (I hope)
The seller was a lovely man, but very old European and in a bit of a hurry, so he kind of 'handed us some little birds'
I think he said Mary and Yolko were 5 weeks, Stevie and M'Egghen are about 8....does that look like it lines up?
What are they?
Anyone?
The...
So in the 2nd photo, you can see them all.
Starting clockwise with the blondie standing up highest - Stevie Chicks
M'Egghen Trainor
Mary Poopins (wondering if she's a boy)
And tucked in the back left is Yolko Ono.
My name is Andria, and I grew up with a small hobby farm sized 1/4 acre experience full of chickens, ducks, geese, rainbow trout, etc. But I was a child, so the details and responsibilities didn't fall on my wee shoulders - only the love of creatures.
I have been back in the backyard chicken...
