I just got my first 3 chickens last Wednesday! Unfortunately my city has an ordinance that only allows 3 chickens within the city limits... Anyway, I have wanted backyard chickens for about 2 years, but I have been pregnant pretty much the majority of the last three years, so I felt it might be best to wait on 3 more babies until I had finished incubating my human babies.
So, here are my loves the day the came home, all cozy in their brooder.

There's Monster Truck, Mrs. Higgins and Henrietta. You can tell which one the 5 year old boy named...
Anyway, my question is...I was told that I had 2 EE (Mrs. Higgins and Henrietta) and one RIR (Monster Truck) pullets. I totally see that my EE are what they are, but I haven't seen a RIR that has chipmunk markings. Does anyone know if she is a RIR or not? I don't mind either way, I just like to know.


Also, my two Eggers are already getting wing feathers, and Monster Truck seems to be behind in the ballgame. I hope I don't have a Rooster. Not that I wouldn't want one, but I can't end up with tons of fertilized eggs... LOL.
I'm happy to be part of the community, as I've already been obsessed with chickens for a few years...I just had to wait on the right time to get them!
