Here is one of her back in the shade and you can see the distinct color difference in her hackle and back...she is on the left....5 month old pullet, Egla, on right

Some amazing colors and combinations/variations! I can't wait to see what colors/patterns mine develop

Kelly, So the orange "washer" is attached to the nail? Too bad.....I use deck screws to put things together so I can take apart easier when I change my mind....

.....are the "washers" available without the nails?

yes plastic for use with house wrap

I like screws too. I use a big headed wood screw with large fender washers. Just need to make sure the screw head won't pull through the hole in the washer.

Love large fender washers and screws!

That's a very interesting angled picture. Very nice!

I cropped the pic to get rid of my Croc toes!

Quote: Yep, some of Asta's eggs were in your batch.....Egla hasn't started laying yet.

Love the pictures! I see a couple of those chicks that I have a hunch on so far as gender - watch my guesses be the total opposite of the truth

mbmess, three of my five Icees are crested. None of them are huge crests, like Mahonri's Phyllis. The two girls have little ladies' hats on the top-frontish part of their head, and the boy that's crested has a much more subtle topknot. When they were little, there was kind of an extra "bump" of fuzz on their head. I didn't realized my cockerel had a crest until he started getting pinfeathers on his head - the crest came in first.

I can see what y'all are talking about now! will take some more pics this weekend of them individually. Now to find out what sex they will be (hides under chair)
