Third one..

Thank you very much...
 
Sicilian Buttercup. Standard/LF size.


You've got a nice little flock. I LOVE seeing more people with something more special than the average sexlink and buff orpington and such.

I am so excited to know what these are.... thank you so very much... I would love them no matter.. but, it's great to know a name. (If I can remember it, ha!)
Thank you.

I have to agree speckeled Sicilian buttercup!!
 
Looks similar to a cockerel I have... a cross between a Barred Rock Rooster and Golden Comet Hen.
 
Definitely Sicilian Buttercup. Named for the cup-like comb.

She's really pretty and standard size. Many of the white egg layers only get to be 4-5 pounds. I've become more interested in them - they eat less and I can have more chickens! Plus they're different from the typical BRs, RIRs, sex-links, etc. I don't have any of those. I think my Cuckoo Marans is my most "standard" chicken, other than my EEs.

Next year I may order the McMurray rarest of rare pullet or the Ideal rare pullet or lighter breed pullet assortment. I like the concept of being surprised.

I'm envious!
 
What a gorgeous standard buttercup!

I'm jealous, and definitely thinking of adding one or two to my flock next year
