yep, after expert opinions were registered I looked up the cornish breed and the other two are not EE they are cornish hens...anybody want a couple of roosters? Edit - we are working on letting them free range around the backyard and we let them out for a couple of hours a night while we are...

Thanks....sort of.... do you know what kind of bird?

and on further inspection of that foot photo, I hope I am not seeing a spur bump....Yall like that nice chicken scar running down my hand?

Hey yall, I need to know what booger and henry are - we got them at TSC 15 weeks ago and they are larger than the other chickens. I know I have two EE, one Buff Orpington, one white-crested black polish (not from TSC - they were selling them on the side of the road and the wife HAD to have...

wow...burning a chicken at the stake...there is a really good joke in here somewhere, but I can't seem to find it. How worried should you be about a witch-chicken? Daisy (the white-crested, black polish) has a weird nervous habit of jumping around a bit....should I go get some wood?

Ok, I live in Mississippi. Today (April 13) it will be around 80+ degrees. We have REALLY mild winters here, though we may see a snowflake or two (and when we do, we roll up the streets and tie plywood to the 4 wheeler and see how fast the kids can stand to go!). I need to seal up the coop...

The were labled Red Pullets. But like I said, the friendly people at the TSC were pretty clueless about chickens. EE would not surprise me at all. Though the Orpington really would surprise me! The kids named that one Jeffrey, but we are hoping for a Josephine - and it is noticably bigger...

AHA!!!! it worked!!! You can see they were a little spooked at their mother running out with the camera - but maybe you can help me with the IDs? Thanks!
