[Goose and Fig]

I have some baby pics! Well not exactly babies. I think I can kind of tell what they'll look like just from seeing all of everybody's pics on here. How fun- thanks so much, and any input appreciated!

1- blue and white girl???

2- Sussex-looking with more white? Girl?

3- have no idea, but think its a girl.


4- This is the oldest and biggest, Still out on gender.

They are so cute and they are growing really fast.

Has everyone got white legs on their SFC? All three of mine do but I wasn't sure about the breed.

Legs should be yellow.

Legs should be yellow.

Hmm.....like creamy pale buttery yellow or banana yellow?

As chicks they'll be pale buttery, sometimes with some black over them like the chick on the right.
They'll turn a darker as they mature. Here are some pics. The legs in the second picture are of the same chick in the first on the right. The black never went away.
The last pic is of a different bird, shows the yellow color as well as some black over it. I have not seen white at all. This information is based on my bird population.
ETA: If you click on each pic it will give you a bigger screen shot so you'll get a more accurate idea of the color. Harder to tell when the pics are small like this.

A white hen with light blue hackles.








I have 8 hens, 4 of the beautiful gray millie Fleur, 1 black millie fluer, 2 white, one with red mottled , 1 with light gray hackles, 1 with a top knot that is calico Millie Fluer.
I am going to keep 3 of the 5 Roos and re-home 2 of them. My birds are from 2 different flocks, and I plan to have 2 different pens to keep them from getting too closely related. ~Charm1704
