Nevadans?

[americanvalkyrie]

Actually, this one has a fluff patterning a lot like the black split (no dot on the head) but some very dark mossy banding on the wings. The legs are heavily feathered, though. More feathered than the other marans. Out of the other two feather-feet babies, one has an almost idential feathering as the first, and the other has a light spot that is more brown-colored than silver.

I'm so confused. At this point, I'm mostly going on behavior and leg size.

Good news, though... one of the new babies earned a name. I haven't named any others until I know if they're roosters and after Lacey and I have decided who gets what. One wheaten/BW, though, sits like a girl and is sooo sweet and docile. Her name is now Sesame. She's a keeper. Lacey and I can fight over the other 21.

2 more weeks before I can post good photos again. (And my husband gets back.)

So green's feed has some more chicks in. very cute but I walked out without any even after the guy at the register asked if I wanted some!

Love your photos, Sunny! those polish are something else.

That was my evil plan this whole time!!!



Heres my marans, I got excited earlier but hes definitely a boy. hes got a lot of silver in his bum. Im forcing him to hang out on the couch with me right now. hes sleeping in my sweater. Im trying to think of a good tough raccoon fighting name for him. Theres a lot riding on his lil shoulders if he is going to be our big roo!

one of mine looks like that, too. the other I'm not sure about. I'll be bummed if both are roos but I guess that's the gamble with chickens. Loved the photos of your flock. Nice to see you today and thanks for the egg cartons!

I just got back from Lowe's... they currently have a moisture control potting soil that is getting discontinued... 2 cu. ft. for $1.48!!! I got 10 of them, for the bucket garden. So far, the lowest price we've found for that much soil is $5 for a cheaper brand at Home Depot.

Aubrey, I love the pics! Your flock is so varied. It's awesome.

wow! what a deal. I'll have to see if they still have it tomorrow.

I fell in love with Kirstie's GCM roosters! They are gorgeous!! Your chick is adorable!!

Sounds to me like you need a Ko Shamo rooster. Are you sure it was a Raccoon? They rarely kill one chicken, instead killing the whole flock for the fun of it. If just the one Show girl was taken I would bet it was a hawk. I read on BYC that a hawk swooped down to attack a flock and the Ko Shamo rooster spurred it right through the eye killing it

That was my evil plan this whole time!!!

Ok, prepare yourselves for more photos. Here are a few and I'll be posting some more later.
Here's the GCM with the most white and gray. Pretty sure it's cockerel from what I've read.

here's the other GCM. Doesn't look very grey in this photo but in person I thought it had more grey. I'll have to do some more photos.

Here's the goofball black split am

Here's my favorite BLRW. Pretty sure it's a pullet.
