The flat ones from a red. The other 2 r Easter eggers. And the soft one from a big white hen, looks like your pic smoochie. These 4 r still a little on the bald side lol. The others have all filled in beautiful but don't lay now. The 2 older ones, 1 is black with gold around her head/ neck. The...

Hi from Albuquerque. We started collecting 2-4 chicks every spring 4 yrs ago & now have 5 hens (idk the kind), a 8 yr old brindle rott/pit, a 4 month old pit/sharpe pup, 1 indoor n 1 outdoor cat. We hope to have a garden this yr. I'm excited to learn about how to build a coop this summer.
