I have very odd looking Barred Rocks....or do I? Guess who game.

I thought that is a Silver laced Wyandottee, that comb and colour are the indication

Definitely a Silver Laced but she sure fooled me at first having blended in so well amongst the Barred ladies! The flock we had 10 years ago had 2 Silver Laced and 2 Plymouth Barred Rocks. We enjoyed both but it's pretty hard to beat the easy going nature of the Barred Rocks. At least ours were pretty exceptional during our time with them.

Now that I have all the ladies in their permanent coop home, the GLW's are taking on some pretty cool personality traits.

We haven't named any of the Littles but I had an epiphany yesterday while working on the coop and absorbing the fact I unexpectedly now have GLW's. Maybe not terribly original but easy to remember;

Goldy
Lacey
Dotty

Now we need to come up with 3 good names for the Speckled Sussex ladies!

I've got a legbar rooster,2 Dominiques,a Barred Rock, a Wyandotte,2 Welsummers, 3 Leghorns, 2 Australorps and a hybrid Sapphire Gem that just hatched chicks. All of them contribute something to the flock even the rooster. My rooster walked over to the broody hen after I 'introduced' them by opening the door.He walked in and started calling for the chicks to give them tidbits (but none of them went over there lol) He made a nest for the broody hen to lay in with pine shavings

Depending on the first one you spot you'll assume they're all the same breed but they're 3 different breeds lol

I get no more than 3 of any breed to make the head count easy.It also helps me to write their names down if I have more than 12 hens
