Friday was 74 and sunny and, after loosing another pullet to the hawks, I spent the day in the pen working and had my camera with me. Taking advantage of the golden hours of light at dusk, I got some recent photos. Hope you enjoy.
My new EE's at about 12 weeks old. I bought 4 pullets and ended up with what looks like 3 and a cockerel. One of the pullets was killed and eaten by a red-tailed hawk hours before I took this shot.
My 6 month old Barred Rocks! Again, purchased 5 pullets and ended up with 3 roosters and 2 pullets who just started laying this week.
In this photo, and in the background, is my black Orpington and a buff Orpington. The 2 reds are Production Reds and egg laying machines.
My French Blue Copper Marans rooster (7 months old) showing his stuff.
My 7 month old French Blue Copper Marans hen who also just began laying this week.

Another late afternoon/early evening shot of my French Blue Copper Marans hen. I have a black one too that I've yet to get a good photo of.
