Ribh's D'Coopage

She is a wonderful girl. She blends in beautifully where she had her nest.

Which is amazing given how bright and golden she is!

So, still Chicken Breeds 101 for RC then.

Oh boy. I have totally given up. Every now and then I feel I can tell a breed, but I have mostly decided that I will take each chicken as an individual.

She blended amazingly! I thought she'd be easy to spot ~ but I thought that about Ceres, who is white, & I couldn't spot her either.

That's a great approach. I have trouble with the breeds that look very similar.

Some of you will remember this.
My girl Ha'penny spent @ least a week sneakily hopping the fence when I wasn't around & laying her egg in a beautifully hidden nest half under a log & camouflaged by palm fronds. By the time she decided to sit there were 10 eggs under her! I was frantic with worry when I couldn't find her & must have walked past her dozens of times without seeing her.
One of the reasons I originally wanted this breed was because they weren't supposed to go broody. So much for that! She has @ least one go each season! ​

Yeah, I thought you might. I was terrified I'd lost her. Naughty girl!

So naughty. I was panicked and she's not even my hen!

The disadvantages of having a virtual flock when things go wrong!

I snapped a few updated pictures of Cappy and his tailless rump.

He is getting some lovely green and dark rust colored feathers. I hope he continues to grow them!
