So, i got most of these guys almost 3 weeks ago. 3 of them I got yesterday. So, here's my flock!Most are from My Pet Chicken, the others are from a friend.
This is Chewy. I'm not sure if it is a Pullet/Cockerel. What do you think? He/she is a Salmon Faverolles. Also, is the right toe supposed to be curled like that? It is the one pointing towards you. He/she is very fun! Loves to sleep curled up against me.
Here's Doodle, a Buff Orpington pullet. She acts like everyone's mother. Maybe it's because she is so huge? She does not like me going near "her" chicks! She also makes the strangest clicking/clucking noise when I touch her. It sounds so cool!
Another pic of Doodle giving me her "Don't touch me" face:
This is Basil. Her and the next 3 birds were from the MPC "Clean Legged Bantam Assortment". I had a barred rock bantam, but she died.
I think they are all EE's, except for one. This one is a definite EE, and one of my calmest birds. She is very sweet!
More Basil:
The brown one above is Jupiter. Shevis also a bantam Easter Egger. She does not like to sit on the table. She must perch on something! She is also one of the friendlier ones and will perch in anything you stick near her. She likes to peck in between fingernails too. She is very interesting!
Here is Tulip. I am not sure what she is. My other 3 EE's all have green legs, but she doesn't. Hers are yellow with a green tint. I asked a 4-H leader, and she said she doesn't really look like an EE, but is not sure what she could be. What do you think she is? I know her stance looks gamey, but MPC doesn't have game breeds in their assortment, and Tulip doesn't normally sand like that. She was looking for her friends. She loves to be loud, and loves to stare at people. She was kind of slow when we got her, and looked like she was going to die. However, she has made a huge improvement and is doing great! She is everyone's favorite!
This is Opal, the stone statue. Seriously, I took her out to take pics, and she didn't move. She stood in the same pose for like ten minutes and would only move if I made her. She loves to rule the roost. She was the first to fly, and is always perched on top of the waterer. She is very intelligent, and is has the natural power to rule the flock, without using aggression. She is a natural born leader and will rule the flock when she's older. She is an EE.
This is my black Silke that my friend ordered from MPC, but had extras and gave one to me. She is very calm and sweet. I do not have a name for her yet. She is the same age as mine, and is very bold, As soon as I put her inside the brooder, she ran right to my original birds. Even though she is smaller than all of them, she approached them without fear and immediately stood her ground, even against the large fowl. She was more than happy to dig in their spots, eat their food, and drink their water. The others were probably like "Who does she think she is?" I love her!
Another pic of the Silkie:
This one is a week younger than the rest. She is a White Polish. She is sweet, but likes to show off her white wings! She is a little bit on the stupider side though. She likes to be alone. She always strays away from the others. However, when she feels lonely, she screams for attention. Why can't she go play with the others you ask? Because that would be beneath her! Why should she go to them? She thinks that she is the pretty one and that everyone should come to her! She is a very dumb little diva!
Last one. This is another unnamed Polish. My friend said she was Golden Laced. She does no look it though! She is definitely a Polish though. I thought my friend would know what she was talking about though. She is very reliable. She is a poultry 4-H leader, a member of the Polish Breeders Club, is going into training to become an APA Poultry Judge, and has over 60 birds. Is this a GL, or if not, what color is it? I know it's a Polish, I just am not sure about the color. so, anyways, this little one, just like Jupiter, needs the comfort of perching. She is very sweet and falls asleep in my hands. She is much smarter than that little white Polish! She is very cool looking and calm.
So, that's my flock. I can't wait until they grow up! I hope you enjoyed my pics and stories. Thanks for looking! any feedback on my birds is always appreciated.
