Love it! I'd put up the popcorn eating emoji but I don't know how.

I'm swinging both ways with Freya. My immediate reaction was 'boy' because of the coloring comb and arching tail. That comb is hard to tell on Freya because of what I'm guessing is a melanizing factor adding some darkness which might be disguising the coloring. On the other hand, I have a girl who had arching tail feathers at that age, but her comb was ivory for a very long time. Time will tell! You can cheat and find the skin along the back where the wings tips fall and see if there's any saddle feathers started. I think they peaked through the skin at about 11 weeks? He was crowing by 14.

The name is perfect if she's a she, by the way either way, absolutely striking bird.

thank you the darkness on her head makes her comb look much redder and she's not showing any signs of attempted crowing nor any saddle feathers I've checked her tail looks so boy because the straight paddle like feathers molted and her curved feathers are so round at the tips... all my boys try to mount her too and they don't try on each other

Their is no doubt Freya is a girl. At 17 weeks her brother has flowing saddle feathers and the obvious red patches.

Awe he's so cute and you can do tell they're bro and sis

I'm enjoying my ladies from you the marans I kept are named Fili and Kili. All of them are amazing and Freya is so sweet

My blue partridge EE had arching tail feathers too. Up until they molted out right before POL. Now she just has a longer tail than the others. And she lays a pretty green egg

She is the one between the lavender EE and the black ameraucana

I'm really glad you like them. We love all our chickens but Freya was one of my son's favorites. She was always gentle and very sweet.

This is great! I only have one EE, a pure white hen named Blondie (she's more of a platinum blonde

).

She's the bigger one in this silly photo. The others are bantams. They found this nice spot for preening and are totally unaware of the peril

is the white one the bigger one, im confuzzled coz i thought you said it was white?

Yes, that's Blondie. She might look about the same size here because she is standing lower down on the fire pit cover and in the back ground >.< my bad
