Robin are those grey in color??? They look just like what I got as SLW.

These girls have legs that look yellowish pink. I'll see if tonight I can get a pic of them side/back/legs if they'll stop windmilling their legs when I pick them up

If there legs are yellowish with a slight green tint then they are EE's.... The coloring looks like an EE.

That's the thing. The legs don't have a tint to them yet, unless you count a pinkish one. They don't have a green tint. If anything, the tint may be bluish. No, I'm not colorblind.

I don't really need to know what they are... I figure that I'll find out when they're grown. Chicks are just too difficult to tell with any certainty, it appears.

When I had EE chicks I couldnt see a green tint either, then I would grab one of my other chicks that had yellow legs and compare, then I could see the tint. if you cant tell that is fine, eventually you will find out what they are ..lol

Yeah I don't have anything to compare them with... no chicks in the house other than the RIR chicks, and I didn't think to pick up one of them and compare.

I'm hoping the much better/stronger camera will help me out this evening. If it doesn't, no big deal. They're cute

Oh, funny story. My daughter knows I won't do the whole "cutesy" animal names, like Sunflower or Fluffy or Bluebonnet. So she asked me yesterday if she could name the new hen Mirasol. I about died laughing and told her she could, simply because she'd figured out that a mirasol is a sunflower

Have to give her points for creatively figuring out how to name one of our hens Sunflower!

I think:
Breed her to a rooster from a blue-egger, and their pullets should lay "dirty" blue eggs. Breed one of the pullets back to the father, or to another rooster from blue-eggers, and you should have it! The rooster determines a good part of the egg color.

Good Morning Everyone!

My husband has left for work and Thought I would jump on here and say good morning before heading out the door to take care of the children in the barn....

Steph, We missed you this saturday at the sale. We had several pretty birds. Thought About you when the ameraucana eggs sold... We had enough we could have all taken some home I think. WE had a buff ameraucana hen that sold for $32 Dollars. Of Course, We are its proud owners now...lol Silverlace wyandottes are still doing great! All 13 have made it so far. Maybe 13 is a lucky number... who knows...
