Meyer Hatchery Chicken pics anyone??

One of the frizzles has just gone broody, so I'm going to get her a few fertile eggs and see if she'll hatch/raise them.

Thanks! I ordered 1 Blue Cochin, 2 Lavendar Orpingtons, 1 Blue Laced Red Wyandotte, 1 Welsummer, 1 Black Sumatra. All females (fingers crossed!). I like variety.

Nice!

I really like the lav orp I got. She's huge! And the wellies are great. Beautiful birds, sweet, and the eggs are really cute too!

Do you have pics of your Lavender Orp??? I'd love to see her. And the Welsummers.

I have one crappy pic of my lav orp. She's still in isolation so it's very difficult to get pics.

And Pumpkin:

Her egg is the bottom right speckled one.

The snow is supposed to start here in 1 1/2 hours. I got the animals all fed up and the horses groomed. Dang horses rolled in the snow the other day and caked their hair down. That won't provide good insulation! I made my daughter go out and groom them.

Here are some pics of my Wellie (Summer) and Lav Orp. The Wellie is from Meyer but the Lav Orp isn't.

I love the redder coloring of Summer. I know that was originally a disappointment for you that she looked to similar to your Partridge Rock and that her eggs weren't particularly dark or speckled but I think she looks lovely. For me who was torn between getting a Welsummer and a RIR, she would be perfect. Your Lav Orp is gorgeous too! Also I know I've said it before but I just adore the names you all have chosen for your Welsummers. Mable, Nutmeg, Saffron, Summer, Pumpkin... am I missing any? Does someone have a Hazel? I'm still leaning toward Cornelia for mine, perhaps Cora for short. kkwinwy have you thought of any names?

Lovely hens! Pumpkin is beautiful!
So far I have Charlotte and Skittles (Buff Brahmas), Pheasant (the Golden Campine, cause she's as wild as a pheasant!), Foofy, Cinnamon, and Caramel (the frizzles), Chocolate, and Fancy the Spitz.

Welcometo the newbies

I see the Welsummer love coming out. They are so pretty, they are big girls and have a great mellow temperament. I do get some speckled eggs here and there, in the warmer months it seems their eggs area darker.

Nutmeg

Saffron

Nutmeg - back in Nov when she got frost bite,she is fine now.

I love their colors!

@autumnhearth
Can't remember if you have the EE named Clara? Or was that someone else. Here is a pic of our only clean faced EE and I thought she looked similar to yours...

She is the one in the front.
