Hello everyone, I just began my chicken adventure in April and I now have a nice backyard coop and run with 6 hens. One of the first ones I got is all black with muffs, beard and black legs. Her toes are evenly marked, the middle toes are white, the inner and rear toes are black and the outer front toes are black with a white stripe. I think it's pretty amazing that they match. So, she was a swap purchase and I thought she looked interesting with her muffs and beard. She is probably pushing 5 months old now. My others are a BO, two Speckled Sussex and two Welsummers. Here is the black one, no name for her as of yet!
Hi! I see this is your first post ever- Welcome to BYC! You will love it here, it's very addicting. Your black hen is pretty, and I like your other breeds, too. You have a nice mix of birds to look at, and should have a nice colorful egg basket, too.
FIngers crossed they are pullets because I really want to keep her and the maran and our town do not allow roosters. I look forward to learning more about this interesting breed on this site.
