Aww She's pretty! Did she have the beard when she was young? Mine is 7 weeks right now, no beard but she has feathered legs! Only 4 toes!
Has yours started to lay yet? If so, what color?
His name is Winky. LOL After an Elf in Harry Potter. All of my chickens are named after Harry Potter characters. We originally thought He was a She, But didn't want to change the name.
Ooooh this looks more like mine! How old is yours? Does yours have feathered legs like mine? Mine is decently friendly and let's us hold and pet her so far. Mine is 4 weeks old.
Wow, looks very different from mine! Yours definitely look like it's part light brahma. Mine is all black with one layer of white feathers at the very ends of her wings, and still has white fluff on her belly. Only 4 weeks old now. I'm going to be pretty disappointed if she plays brown eggs...
I bought 4 new chicks just over 3 weeks ago, one of which is a Green Queen. It seems like Meyer came up with the name. I'd love to see before and after pictures of yours if you have one and a picture of their eggs if they are laying.
My daughter calls ours a penguin because she has a layer...
I have a mixed flock. I only have one Silkie who is a 23 week old Rooster. My other 3 are normal sized hens who are also 23 weeks old and should be laying soon. How do I make sure the Rooster is not eating to much layer feed and getting enough protein??
I was told to post and introduce myself! I'm Amy, I live in southern California! I have four 23 week old chickens who are not laying yet and 4 new babies that are 3 days old!
