I have a white EE hen, but she isn't quite pure white, she has a sprinkling of light gray in her feathers. I also have a coppery colored EE (in this pic), and two that are darker gray, one with gold in her neck feathers and the other with silver in her neck feathers. They are all hatchery chicks---i think it's cool that they are all different! One of the gray girls lays a "pink" Easter Egg. The others all lay green eggs, though i was hoping for at least one blue egg layer.

she is pretty too reminds me of a seagull

Yes, she does remind one of a seagull! We named her Gypsy.

She stands out a bit in the crowd, but i have so many different color birds, no one picks on her for being different.

She is soo cute, i love the speckles.
 
I will be looking for
Geese:
Cotton Patch and Pomeranians, in guarenteed pairs.
also if anyone knows breeders of
Pilgrim
Roman
or Shetlands
please get in touch with me,
I need these birds for Heritage Displays that I put on along with Town Harvest Fairs.

If anyone has any heritage chickens ducks geese or turkeys also please get ahold of me.
I already have Slates Jersy Buff and Standard Bronze but am looking for other heritage breeds.

awareness is key to keeping these birds from extinction.

Pairs or Trios only
thanks in advance.

I still have a Narragansett hen here for you. She was raised by a chicken, so she keeps hopping into my Silkie pen to hang out with them although I'm constantly herding her over to hang out with her own kind. Poor Silkies get stepped on by this big gangly "bantam" LOL I also have a related pair of Narris available that hatched last July.

I will take all 3 Nari's, that way when I set up the pen for them they will be seperate from my Buffs ,

LMBO! Over Grown Bantam , thats way toooooo funny.

My big dumb Buff Tom still thinks he is the babysitter, poor chickens havent got a chance to go outside because he huff-a- puffs them back inside.(OEGB's) I think he thinks they are the baby turkeys from last spring. he just wont stop mothering them.
And he has become surrogate eyes for the half blind Buff Hen. He makes sure he stays on the side with her good eye so she can see where the food and water are. Honestly I have never seen a Tom Turkey of any breed do things the way this one does. It just amazes me to watch him shoo the hens and be a seeing eye turkey for the hen.

Edit to add: If I had 100 Toms like this guy there would never be Thanks Giving Dinners here lol

I've been trying to resist the temptation to get heritage turkeys. You two aren't helping!!!
