i got this little girl a few days ago. anyone's guess on if i'll get blue/green eggs from her? does she look like maybe a bantam too? i was told she is three months old. i included a picture of her with my full size SLW. this little girl is much much smaller then my welsummer that was hatched...

here's my 4+ week old Amerucana (EE) chick. whatcha think? roo or pullet? i just worry a bit because this one is a bit of a pain. he/she likes to jump, fly and land on the backs of the other chickies :-/ from the back the front thanks!

that's what i was thinking after looking at the pics and other australorps! i had ordered a australorp pullet from Ideal. the order had 30+ chicks, my friend sorted hers and mine. i think she gave me a SLW and not one of the austalorps haha but shes such a sweetheart, so it doesn't matter...
