Thanks, Shad. I tend to follow the instructions literally even when that's not the best way because I don't know better. I have far more experience with cats & know what to do with my tablet spitters & bluffers. BTW, Wrold was bluffing. As soon as she got in the pen she was bokking & fluffing & heading for a nest. I put her in the run on her own but had to fish her out of a nest to roost. She will have to wait until after Christmas now. Too many people in my house to have a hen in my bathroom.

Wrold!

Gotther! She's roosting with everyone else all on her own tonight! Whew! That was some marathon.

OK, I give up. Seems like I learned nothing!

Most breeds are known for a certain color, White Leghorn, Buff Orpington, Black Australorp, etc. It's OK to start there but then you need to examine the size, shape, comb, legs, tail, wings, head, eyes, etc. to determine the breed. To make things harder, breeders are always trying to create new feather colors in existing breeds. The Lavender Leghorn is new in the last couple of years. I followed its development on BYC.
