What colour would you call this hen? Grey?

And what colour would you call this hen? She's off white sort of.

You have nasturtiums growing. We're still months away from me being able to plant them here.


I love the chick hanging out on your boot. Such sweet pictures.

Wish I could hatch this early. 2 hens went broody this week. I don't want to deal with chicks in mud, though.

Not sure if not white. Something mixed color? Ive seen some awesome mixed color chickens that's I'd love to see set as an inherited color.

The flowers don't seem to last long haha, I have some fenced off but the chicks seem to get into that area somehow and have a nibble!

Summer here, though a cool snap coming tomorrow with heavy rain so I may keep the mum's and chicks locked in the coop. I don't think the chicks will be running about much if it's dropping to 16 degrees Celsius as our max temp during the day.
Fluffies in mud is not a good mix
