Here’s two of our 6 girls! I’ll have to take some pictures of the other ones!

You'll get it one day! I know it seems like gibberish at first.

Some other common terms:
- POL: Point of lay (young pullet who is right at the verge of laying)
- Shanks: Basically the part of a chicken leg you can see, not including the sole.
- Dust bathes: A bath that chickens take to clean themselves


I can't think of anymore, but I know theres a lot more out there.

Thank you SO much!! I have never heard of those first two!! Except for shank being mentioned in your helpful Cochin vs Orpington reply!! That’s the first I’ve ever heard of it!! And definitely never heard the first one before!!! I’m all ears to new words!!
