Meyer Hatchery Chicken pics anyone??

[autumnhearth]

I posted my pics to the silkie thread and to my friends locally -1 who used to breed silkies...Coco is 100% rooster & Brownie is probably hen! Still waiting to see on her

I have no experience with silkies but I agree Not to worry you but Collette seems to have a comb coming in, or maybe her beak is just very triangular, could just be the angle.

Great pics everyone. I <3 Flora, Pippa and Esmerelda and Zsa Zsa and Eva!

Since the girls have been locked in we gave them lots if grass clippings. They had a great time

I am just sayin that Coco, ZsaZsa and Eva are perfect names for those chickens... The best matched name to chicken I have seen thus far.

Something weird happened yesterday. I was outside most of the day and watched all three girls go into the nest box and each was in there for a while. I expected to collect three eggs from three hens, but there was only one in there. Why would the others go in there if they were not going to lay? Has anybody else ever noticed this?

Are they new layers? I have been having a few go in and sit in the nest box and not lay a darn thing. But being new layers they have to get their "stuff" in order lol. I also have a hen I got from Meyer last year that likes to go in the coop when there is a hen in a nest box and chat with her till she lays an egg then leaves and does an egg song so that everybody knows that a hen laid an egg! Silly girl.
