Arizona Chickens

One of those 2 also keep's grabbing Louie's waddles in her beak, so now his waddles are jagged on the edges.

He is a good boy. Hen-pecked is a truism for a reason! The rooster here gets his face groomed gently by another Barred Holland hen. But, one of the Rocks like yours is almost bald from him.

The top dogs of the flock the other day, taking a dirt bath together in the sun. Brown Leghorn, White Rock, and Brown Sex-link. They all get along, until the treat dishes come out. But, they can't guard 2 dishes!

My brown-red d'Uccle looks just like your brown leghorn coloring wise, even the lacing on the brown feathers. I wonder if that might be a bird they used to make that color with. She has a bit of iridescence on the red/gold color in better light.

Looks like OEGB also have a brown-red.. maybe that's the source somewhere along the line.

Hey, I was cleaning out the nesting boxes today and then put some more of the burmuda hay in them. Do you know how hard it is to do that with a bunch of Silver Grey Dorking's getting in the box to inspect what you are doing while you are trying to clean it out?

Awww, they just wanted to manage the project. Is the human doing it right? We need a little more hay in this corner....

Hah they were all facing me, then turned around at the moment i took the pic!! They are funny, that's what they do on the sofa.. line up and fall asleep (at least the D'uccles, the cochin is still too excited).

It is a common wild type color of chickens. Good color to hide from hawks, I think.

I think that color is so pretty.. she does camouflage well, even in the house. She is the one that picked me as a chick, flies onto me whenever she gets a chance. ❤
