Yep, that's Edwina. I love the copper hackles with the black. She has a bit of iridescence on the black feathers too.

CHOOK OF THE WEEK.
This week's chook is Ha'penny.
Ok, we all know I'm biased. I adore this breed. They are stunningly beautiful & actually
pretty good layers. Their medium sized eggs are white.
The Campines originated in a Belgium village near Antwerp & were simply considered another village chicken until the Brits got hold of them & developed an exhibition bird.

Campines come in silver or gold. Both are gorgeous! The males are hen feathered ~ which just means they have the same feathering as females.​

Ha'penny arrived with her sister, Tuppence, as POLs the 1st week of April 2019, so she is now one of my older girls.

Campines have a reputation for being flighty & screamers & definitely non~broody.
I have found they settle considerably on beginning to lay & if enough time is spent with them these less desirable characteristics diminish considerably. And don't believe the non~broody rap!

The thing about Campines, especially the golds, is that they are incredibly rare. They are an endangered breed & not really suitable for a small suburban backyard. These girls are great foragers, pretty good fliers, incredibly smart & like to have a large territory to free range in..​

She is one of my favorites in your tribe. I love her shape and coloring. I'm partial to the gold Campines over the silver.

This is going to be the best week! Pictures of Ha'penny every day!

Yes. One of the joys of doing the older girls is going back & remembering what the flock used to look like ~ which is nothing like what it is today!

Mr. Peabody loves to go back and look at the changes to my tribe as well.

That is his favorite pose. He surveys the room from his ottoman.

I recall an old saying "the hurrier I go, the behinder I get!" pretty much the story of my life.
