Her name is Blue and I do claim her to be a Wyandotte even though she is a mix. Her sister Rosie, picture to follow, looks much like an Orpington and so that's what she is called when folks ask. These two along with the pair in my avatar all came from Nava and will celebrate their first birthday on 12/3. The only problem I seem to have is that the roo is too polite to service the one NN hen despite the fact that they are nearly joined at the hip most of the time. I had a run of 14 eggs that were developed but an 8 hour power outage ruined that and I got only one chick from those eggs which ended up being a roo. So, after several more failed attempts to get development I resorted to the feathered hens to get more NNs for him to try to breed next season.
