Here is a pic of my little show cockeral, Hanibal, and the Booty Girls

They are just the sweetest chickens you could ever own and yes, very broody in nature. They make wonderful mothers and excellent pets! How lucky that you were given yours

Enjoy!

I agree with the color and the breed but not the gender. I am going to go against the grain and say they are all girls. None of them really have roo-ish characteristics. The combs are small and bright red so they are probably older. The neck feathers are pointed and glossy because if you ever notice on alot of hens, they have pointy and sometimes glossy neck feathers.

Ok well this morning, i woke up to this...

the only ones in the pen are my 2 ducks, male and female, and my barred cochin roo, and then the two chickens in the picture together.....

Thank you! and like i just posted.... i had 2 eggs today from the pen my 2 pictured together where in!!! my goodness!!

The two brown eggs look like they came from the same hen so one is for sure laying. The big white one looks like a duck egg, does it have an oily smooth texture?

And also the best way to know if a hen is laying is by feeling her abdomen, if it is soft and squishy she is laying.
