cool! what kind?

I think they're mutts, I adopted them as pullets in a trade for plants. Lol I garden lots. Have one that looks like a barred rock, one Red and a black one with gold lacing on the wings. I get dark brown, tan and pink eggs, love them!

She's a faithful layer and last on the pecking order but so sweet. She has this iridescent green too (not sure if cam picks it up) I like watching them in the gardens. So far only lost some cabbages to them lol
