My 2 newest girls when I first got them, pretending to be parrots.

And now all grown up, this is Uhura,


and Magnus.

Sweet!

Uhura is a cool name that Trekies should appreciate.

Awwwww. They're beautiful!

All my girls have character names from my favourite tv shows and movies. Magnus is from Sanctuary, Princess Bubblegum from Adventure Time, Pepper from Ironman, and Amelia Pond from Doctor Who. I probably watch too much tv.

I was sold them as Australorps but they don't have the dark eyes, the feathers are Australorp-y though so I am assuming some type of hybrid that is sex linked so they can just sell pullets.I got them from a feed store.
I'm happy with them, they are friendly, have the pretty metallic sheen to their feathers, and Magnus started laying last week (at only about 17 weeks). Just fine for a backyard.

They look very well cared for
