Seriously, do you all ever get tired of these threads?
I am a new chicken mom and I have tried for hours and hours to go through your threads and figure out what kind of chickens I have. I have had no luck - and it is wasting so much of my time, I figure if I don't get off of here, my dear hubby just might let me have my chickens in place of him!
Like other people, I got mine at Atwood's and I have no clue what I ended up with. I finally gave in and decided to ask you - hopefully your experience will save my marriage! ;-) I hope you don't mind. I have 18 total, but today I will just introduce you to 10. The others will come later... I was hoping for all pullets... ha!
Ella:
Sophia:
Charlotte (black with white face and black legs) and Lulu (brown and white)
Shirley:
Different view of Shirley - she has olive legs:
Laverne - a very sleek looking chicken:
Different view of Laverne:
Verne - was originally Laverne, but I think he turned into a (male) Verne. ;-)
This is not Laverne - just to clarify,
Ellie:
Poor Alli... Well, the name is Alli, but Alli seems to be having problems getting pretty feathers in... I have 3 of this breed. All of them are overly friendly and have to be in the middle of the action. Allie is my tattle tale - if it is happening, Alli is squawking for me to come see!
Closer look at poor Alli:
BIG Bertha:
All of my chickens here are 2-ish months old. Bertha doubled in size immediately. She is much bigger in relation to the other chicks. I suspected she was a buff orphington, but people with buffs don't think so... which leaves me with "what the heck is she?"
Thank you all so much for opening your hearts and helping us new chicken mommies figure out what our babies are. I can't imagine life without "Backyard Chickens"!
I promise, I have spent hours trying to do this on my own without asking for help!
Just wait until you see the chicken coop my hubby built for my flock!
Thanks!
