Black Penedesencas.I can easily tell all ten of mine apartbut i do see your dilemma! Are yours australorps? Oe’s?
I do love black chickens. I have two olive eggers that are definitely Marans crosses - and their coloring is stunning. Almost teal in the sunlight!Black Penedesencas.
The fact that all the boys look the same as do the girls, add that I hatch a lot and cull a lot so not all the birds stay here long enough to name them - if I was inclined to do so.
Yes, black presents to our eyes as green in feather refracted sunlight.
Yes, and I just love them. This is my Rhubarb girl. She’s an Olive Egger that doesn’t lay Olive Eggs!
I was bummed, but she’s super friendly and her eggs are always beautiful anyway. Always consistent. She lays much more frequently than her Olive-laying twin.
so funny you said Ping! my girls have tried to make various black chickens Ping because as babies they say they look like little penguins! i do imagine someday we will absolutely have a Ping!
bahahaha you just made me think of patches o’houlihan! ‘if you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball!’
Love that movie. I amend my suggestion..patches O’Houlihan is an EXCELLENT name.
