Hey

Wassup?

I had the little chicks outside in a cage to get some outside time today and a ranger came up and started showing them what to eat.

I got a new chicken Saturday, don't know if you saw that or not.

Partridge chick.

Chick with lacing coming in.

Other laced chick. Not as obvious as the other.

Cool! No, I didn't. Picture?

Yep. She escaped when they were unloading a new shipment of pullets at the houses across the road.

Wow. And these are 100% pure GLWs, right?
I've never seen a partridge before. Could be a cockerel with a funky lacing- obviously the color's highly dominant in that one, like a male...
I'd wager that the other two are still pullets. That's awesome you're getting pretty even lacing this early!

They're supposed to be, there's a chance they aren't though. Hmm maybe. They're two weeks this past Saturday. Yeah, I don't think it showed up in the silvers till their second molt.

Alright guys I think I'm going to name the new chicken, I think if mom wasn't going to keep her she'd have said by now so I'm going to take a vote.
Ophelia, which is Greek for help or Ginger after the lead hen in Chicken run.
