Entry#1 This is my hen Pea-Wea, she's a mix breed who'll be 1 year in April that's either birchen/wheaten or Duckwing/extended black and quite obviously she's a chicken!

Entry#2 my hen Corva which means crow in Italian! She's part of my Vadakorian breed I've been working on and her color variety is Silver Birchen! She'll be turning 1yr in April and she's arguably one of my prettiest chickens!

Because they are adorable and they look like muppets. Thats my take on it anyway.

You took the words out of my mouth. My egg holder for bantam eggs is engraved with "Muppet Eggs".

Name: Pip
Age: 1 year, 9 months
Color: Lavender
Breed: Orpington

I'm normally not a big lavender orpington fan, but Pip is looking good!

I've always wondered what gives some of these mixed breeds those blonde highlights around the face. It's really cute!

I'm fairly certain both of her parents carry a mahogany gene so she might have two copies of it along with silver!

Entry #3 this is the last photo of my hen Susan, she passed away not too long ago and she was well over 5 or 6, she was my barred rock and I loved her dearly! Despite her grumpy expression she was actually very sweet and would let my silkie bantam sleep underneath her at night

 

[Ponypoor]

Thank you! Shes such a sweetheart! She had a bad case of bumblefoot that she battled for almost a month after we got her and she molted hard during it but she recovered very well! Shes our fluffy butt princess now

So glad she is better! My gal has had her first moult, she did pretty good, many times I find they struggle during the first big moult.

What lovely colouring she had, I have a fondness for the barred/cuckoo pattern

So sad she passed, our feathered friends seem to pass on too quickly.
