I know that she's probably a mix of several breeds but the colors are beautiful. We have a couple like this.

Just got back to work from our county fair. My wife brought a busload of he residents over and I helped wheel them down to the 4H dairy show. They love seeing all the animals. I was very sad to see half of the poultry/rabbit barn empty. I have some good memories almost living in that place during my 4H years. Fingers crossed that AI doesn't rear its ugly head again and they can go back to regular next year.

It is amazing what they eat..

We have had wild marijuana growing on the farm here since I was a kid. My Dad said it was a cash crop for Hemp during WW2. I have no idea, I just know we had lots of it. Last summer my Chickens took a liking to the marijuana seeds. They stripped the seeds off the stalks, this year, no marijuana, ( that's a YAY for me).

They seem to like ragweed seeds almost as much as marijuana seeds. I am hoping next year they will be gone. Mine like yours prefer weeds to other things. I have oats and corn on the ground for them to dig through (scratch) to keep them busy. They ignore it for the weeds.

BTW they love pumpkins, Sorry Grandkids, no jack-o-lanterns from Grandpa again this year.

I love all the old names. My kids all have old school names! Gertrude reminds me of Journey to the Center of the Earth. Gertrude, Gertrude!!! Love that name!

We are combining Greek and Roman mythology with strong Germanic names.
Only befitting such a noble flock.

I am a strong believer in once you see a bird, its name becomes apparent..


I vote for Bertha, Everyone should have an Ethel and a Bertha.


My Bertha is Bert's daughter... She is a dainty little thing...
