The top two hens have fabulous coloring! But keep an eye on the bottom one, I had a hen like that who ended up covered in tiny white spots as she aged! She had started out very plain, but her spots increased in number starting at four months, and by six months she had tiny spots all over. Pretty much the opposite of the "fading spots" on the Cheeto babies . . . . a few of these may surprise you as they mature.I believe, if I calculated correctly, that my Alohas are 10.5 weeks old today. I took pics of the hens in the white and yellow leg pen with one tiny cockerel who was severely picked on in the big and small cockerel pens so relocated with this group of hens. I also took a pic of my lanky spotty SX roo who ambled in front of the camera.He's taller than my Big Red SX but isn't as thick. I think he's going to be a pretty boy once he's bulked up a bit.
#3 This is a good sized Ginger girl with black spots on neck and tail with a couple black tail feathers. White underfeathers on neck and grey underfeathers on body. This funny girl has pale, pale grey legs that almost look white.
#5 Nice sized bird with some nice white lacing and black flecks on neck. Some black on wings and tail, dark grey underfeathers.
#6 Small version of #2 hen.
Those are all of the white legged hens. I'm going to take a little break and then I'll post all the yellow legged hens.
By four months, however, which direction they are going in should start to show . . . either they will be getting more white, or if they are Cheeto's babies, the white will start fading away at that point. Ha ha!
