Ammos, you are free to explore a little, as long as you listen to your mother’s teachings

YES!

This is Kiwi, she's the weirdest chicken I have seen so far! She should be a breed!
Easter egger, she has araucana, faverolle and legbar in there. Beard, crest, muffles and wattles, plus a huge leghorn comb. She also has green eyes!

And this is the nest. It's her first experience and she's only 5 months old, so no guarantee!
Unfortunately Kiwis eggs were all unfertilized, and none of my hens are laying now so I had to get some fertilized eggs from a friend really soon.
The marans eggs are crossed with an araucana rooster so they're olive eggers.
Araucanas might be mutts too! These eggs are from a friend and he's kinda a clumsy breeder I wouldn't trust, lol!
Feel free to adopt an egg and give it a cute or funny name!

#1 - olive egger
#2 - olive egger
#3 - olive egger @thecatumbrella Fig
#4 - araucana
#5 - araucana @BoundlessLove Olive Yew

Can I have #5 and name her Cinzia.
This was Sofia Loren’s name in Houseboat. (movie with Carie Grant)
OR
if you prefer a funny name:
Olive Yew (if you say it slowly = I love you)
Because we just love chickens here at BYC.

Let's go with Olive Yew, because cinzia is the name of a woman my father had an affair with, lol. Now all women's names that ends in "...zia" give me the cringes

Caprese and Ammos are both girls, this crossing can be feather sexed. For everyone else we need to wait a little more!
Caruso better stay closer to her mother because she's so disobedient that if she doesn't win a darwin award really soon I'm gonna be surprised.

Could I have 3, please? I think the name Fig is pretty cute!
