I FINALLY broke down and got a chicken!

Looks like she won't eat much.

Not hijacking, I have 12 Delaware Blues in the bator! If they look that pretty I will be mighty happy!

Wifezilla, that is really pretty!

They didn't have any ducks?

She's a beauty! My mother bought me one similar to her, but the ceramic was over terracotta, and I left it out in the garden too long, the ceramic cracked and flaked off. So I guess I'll just let it all fall off and I'll have a terracotta hen

No, but I sure hope that my rooster never sees it.

you are overfeeding it! it needs to be put on a diet. maybe thats why the original owners sold it to you?

The markings on the plumage are unbelievable. Truely bred to standard.

 

[orcasislandchickens]

I love the color of that hen, I wish I could breed them that color. Do you think she's purebred? Maybe one of those fancy european hens. Probably dutch. She sits so still that if you can get any fertile eggs she's bound to go broody.

 

[chickenannie]

That's a Flemish blue hen.

 

[CityGirlintheCountry]

Umm I think it's a form of china blue laced white. I heard the eggs were pretty, but kind of crunchy.
Very pretty though.

Can I get on the waiting list for chicks please?

She's beautiful.
