Well I will end this all I have decided by saying it really does not matter what thay are! Ilove them all and I will be happy with what they deliver for me. Nugget brings a smile to my face with every crow and Missy and the other girls great me eagerly every time I approach to see what I might...
I am just feeling rather frustrated!
AAAUGH!!
You seeI ordered 10 "laying hens" that were part of a packaged deal from McMurray. I understand that I was taking my chances when I order them this way. BUT They were all supposed to be hens and they were all supposed to be good brown egg...
OK it all end here!!! She is a.....dark cornish! After seeing the pictures of the chicks I can tell you for sure! So does that mean she is a meat chicken? I thought cornish were meat chickens? Like I have said before I am new to the chicken thing and I REALLY appreciate all the info you...

OK, First of all. Thank you all for all your help. I do believe I have most of my chickens figured out except for Missy. Let me see if I understand this.. You all think she is a dark cornish. Thanks again. I am amazed at how knowledgeable -spelling? you all are! You have been so helpful...
Thanks so much for all your help. It really doesn't matter what breed these girls are to me. I just wanted to know! I received them On April 30th and am anxiously awaiting my first eggs! I know everyone says to be patient, but it is so hard. My girls are still young yet from what I have...
