Dierdre-the-chicken IS pretty --- my opinion -- black head with golden flecks, black "teardrops" under her eyes, golden-copper neck, standard gold-brown-and-black duckwing-type EE ...
named after that Irish legend, Dierdre of the Sorrows ...
rich velvety colors -- NOT shiny ! --- mossy-slate legs
the other hens have gold, bronze, or rusty colored heads -- three have off-white faces with "eyeliner"
DH says much more interesting than white Leghorns or RIRs ... each chicken is slightly different in coloration or pattern
besides Dierdre, we have Anitra, Becky, Christina, Phoebette, Ginger, and as I mentioned, Moonlight
(didn't realize we were naming her after you, but .... glad it happened)
Well you named one after me too! I am very flattered.
Yeah, but she named the SMART one after me.
