New old chickens.

[Nimueh Alene]

I adopted a 2-3 year old EE pair. No spring chickens here! The hen is pitch black but what would you call his coloring? He's a sweetie. His tail was pulled out by a younger more dominant rooster. I have renamed him as Beau Brummel since he is such a Beautiful boy and a gentleman at that. His lady has a new name also she is now known as Onyx.

I don't know much about breeds and that sort of thing, but I know handsome when I see it!

He is blue and red. Can't tell if he's blue wheaten or blue partridge. Lol
They love their new home. Think they were crowded before. They just kept stretching and flapping. I put them on feather fixer. His tail end is picked raw but he does have new feathers coming in. They were so good letting me look them over. He's sore of course. She's in better shape than he is.

I would say a blue and red partridge...his neck coloring is similar to a silver pencil coloring...I know nothing about color varieties in EE's (although I have 11 of my own, haha)

This is my silver pencil Cochin, Nate.

Congrats on the new old chickens!

His color pattern comes closest to blue golden duckwing but it's not an exact match because easter eggers aren't bred to a color standard, meaning that all sorts of colors are bred together. They're pretty birds and seem happy to have been rescued.

Duckwing! Lol
All my roosters have duckwing coloring! I guess I'm drawn to that color pattern...
EE are my favorite because they each are so different. I hope I might get Chicks from them in the spring.

N adopted 4 EE hens this weekend. 2 are 4-5 months old and the other two are 8 months old... These two have been treaded so often that there is no feathers on their backs or wings. I made them chicken saddles. I cried when I saw them. The guy I got them from had 42 Birds in a 8x7 dog kernel 24/7. I counted 15 roosters..
Named these two Baby and Tank.
