Nutmeg is a cross of a buff orp and a RIR. She is a big heavy girl like an orp but red more like a RIR.

Nutmeg is the RIR/BUff Orp hen we call "Meg". Here she is:

Good morning, MommaMeg!

Congrats to you and Cyn both!!!

I, like Cyn, cannot wait to see it all fluffy either.

The 2nd one is being slow. It must be a pullet. I bet the first one is a little roo! Mosby has a splash baby out now.

Congratulations to both of you!

So exciting! I can't wait to see pics of them all dried off and fuzzy.

Are all the chicks healthy-looking so far?

 

[MissPrissy]

Meg's baby is huge. LOL

Considering that daddy Suede probably weighs upwards of 14 lb and Meg herself, just guessing here, may weigh about 9 lb herself, that baby ought to be a whopper!
