Official Squatch Watchers

I managed to get a couple pics.


These are the starfire green layers. I think they will both end up mostly red in color.

These are the prairie blue bell blue egg layers. I got a dark thinking she may end up kinda looking like an EE. The white baby has a black tailfeather, red leakage on the chest and a tiny bit of red in the wings. No idea how this one will turn out.

Here's my little Ameraucana.....my DH actually picked her out. I wasn't going to get another Ameraucana but he just fell in love with this little girl. Hes never done that ( well since he fell in love with me.....hehehehe). He and the lady I bought them from named her Priscilla. View attachment 1711454

I'll be curious to see what shade of green the star fire green will lay

I took Klaus out of the basement to reintegrate her with the flock this afternoon. I let her out to range and then let everybody else out and figured she would just wander in and they wouldn't even notice that she's there. But a little bit after I let her out William started aggressively dancing for her and wouldn't leave her alone. Then she moved away from him and I went to the car to grab some water and when I came back she was hackles up fighting with Jackie, another female. I thought it was Jackie starting the fight so I separated the two and a little while later saw her fighting with one of the puffies and another bird. Then I moved her to a completely different area where there were less chickens and we walked right up to Damon and grabbed her by the comb. So now she is in a cage eating grass and through the cage reached out and grabbed a hold of Loki's wattle. I had to go over and separate them. So at this point I can't tell if it's Klaus attacking them because she doesn't like other chickens anymore or if it's them coming to her because they think she's a problem.

Me too! I am hoping it is a sea foam green color.
They are prairie blue bell mixed with a brown layer so could be olive...maybe.

The blue bells are a blue layer mixed with a leghorn. Really hoping for blue eggs from those two.

So exciting! I love the suspense of a new color layer

Oh my. If she was attacking through the cage I would tend to think it's her. She could always move to the other side of the cage if she was the victim and not the aggressor. Just my opinion......

Well that stinks. I hope they straighten up and behave soon.

She was out of the flock for a while so reintegration time.

Was about to head out back to let the chickens out to free range. Looked out the back door and saw a huge German Shepard staring back at me Poor birds won't be ranging anytime soon
