Our first eggs and update on flock

[texascorgi]

It has been forever since I posted. I just found our first eggs today. I was so happy and laughed at the size of one of them. I call it my cadberry egg. We ate them tonight. The bigger of the three had a double yolk.

We discovered that we have a rooster but think that we actually have two. Here is the dominant one.

Here is the other one that we think is a rooster.

Our girls have gotten big. Here are some pictures of our flock.

I hope that this is in the right folder and appoligize if it is not. I am so busy with work that I hope to be able to post more.

Beautiful birds. I want some cochins now! And yep, roo no 2 is a roo!

 

[texascorgi]

Thank you. I was thinking that he was so now I know for sure.

Oh, your big roo is *very* handsome.


Is the hen a couple pics below your second roo a silver laced wyandotte?

Thanks for sharing.

I have no idea. I have managed to identify the roos as barred rock but other than that I have no idea.

Thank you. I have no clue what my hens are. The only ones that I know are the barred rock roosters. If anyone has knowledge about what my flock is please feel free to share.

Well, I'm asking because I wasn't sure, lol. I'm brooding a bunch of silver laced wyandottes and I just can't wait to see what they look like when they grow up

But, I've looked at a lot of pictures of SLW, and to me, she looks like one... but I could be wrong.

Either way, you got a bunch of beautiful girls there.

The one laying down with it's mouth open that is black and white is a Silver Laced Wyandotte hen.

My hen, Domino, is one, and is almost identical...see? Domino is the one closest (with back to us) in the pic.

Oh she's beautiful!

I love the big fuzzy butt, lol.
