Thanks for posting the picture of that happy girl and her pullet. Always good to see a winner!. Now where is the former picture you had previously posted so we can get a good look at that bird?

Mine are not narrow in the chest either....I believe there must be M1 tanks in their lineage somewhere.

Speaking of the little lovelies.....I have put all of my Wellies in the laying flock where they get to range the pasture with the goats. They have absolutely no rules whatsoever and I think they know it......they are loving the free roaming life. Bugz and plants galore to eat all day long. They have to be the best breed of chickens when it comes to water or rain.....my goats feel one drop and they take off for the barn, so do the scaredy Delawares......Odin and his ladies just look at them like they are all crazy and they continue on with their pecking and grazing, only to return to the coop once they are completely drenched. Funny how each breed has their own silly little traits.

Nice to know I'm not the only one.

Yours are tall too - I have to get a band on the girls from you tonight, it's getting harder to tell the dark one apart from my Moose/Cleo pullet.

Moose is great at ranging too, he keeps all the ladies together (not all wellies) and they do quite well out - and are a cinch to get back in if I need to put them up. I haven't been letting them out lately though, nothing to range on - all the grasses are dead now. I do take up weeds from the garden, especially their favorite clover, so they still get some greens.

Now if she lays green eggs you've got a Craig's List best seller? What in the world are you feeding this chicken, and if I feed watermelon, will mine turn pink??? LOL

Green beer...

You had to know that the green beer would do that to the chicken Steve.

And I got a mind to get a flock of White Ameraucanas and dye them pink, green, blue for Easter!

I think that's a great idea - maybe do it early so it makes the calendar...!
