Also a Welsummer.

Technically Sylvie is a Welbar - a Welsummer with the sexlinked barring gene to enable gender identification at hatch.

How many eggs does she lay a week usually?

The colors are great in this: chicken, ladder, leaves, tree trunks - the greys and bronzes!

How many eggs does she lay a week usually?

Hmmm. At the moment none. All mine are on strike at the moment.
In Spring/Summer about 4-5 a week.
She has gone broody a couple of times but gave up with encouragement.

Black sex link or one crossed with a welsummer or an australorpx welsummer are my thoughts on the quintet. They're beautiful.

Do you use bubblewrap on the windows? It is a trick someone taught me ages ago and it is astonishingly effective. I have an unheated mudroom (BIG MISTAKE!) and I bubblewrap the windows and find it makes several degrees of difference.
Incredibly easy to do - just mist the window and it stays on there for the season.

Do small bubbles, medium, or large bubbles work best?

Do small bubbles, medium, or large bubbles work best?

I have not done a controlled trial. My guess is all the same as they trap the same amount of air. I use what I have which tends to be small but not tiny.

I speak Spanish. And other languages too.

'Yo habla espanol" & you didn't ask them the breed?

Those birds look very much like BSL's but ruralmouse will best ID. They are pretty & look indeed a lot like Ponypoor's Sophia. You should probably call one of them Sophia
