A little mystery chick with feathered legs. What could she be?

[leadwolf1]

Here are the pics as promised. Mine are hatchery chicks so I am sure other byc'ers have better looking birds but they are mine and I love them...

First up, Good N Plenty aka Guttness cochin...

Her eye does not normally look like that...kind of freaks me out

Must have been the angle of the sun....

Second, Jelly Bean Cochin...

Then, the roo....Skittles

Couldn't resist, had to show two of him, I just think he is so pretty

Oh my these are great photos! Are you thinking that your new chick will have white where these have the golden feathers?

 

[leadwolf1]

Yes....and I'm hoping it's a she...her name is Patty

For now anyway. I think she will make a lovely addition...

Just trying out my new camera on the chick. Sure beats my iPhone.

 

[leadwolf1]

Wow..that's a really nice pic

Maybe I should drag out the old camera...unfortunately, I never have it when I need it but the phone is always in my pocket

For some reason the iPhone scares her but the new Nikon does not. Must be the way the flash works. She's getting really friendly.

Another week of growing. Breast feathers are full, leg feathers are huge, tail feathers starting to come in. She appears to be growing cheek feathers, maybe due to her EE cross?
