My grow outs are growing up. Here's some pics of the chickens from the egg swap. I need to rehome the roos if someone wants them. And I want to sell the black female and the red (I think female?) with the funky hairdo. I have a red frizzle cochin pullet too that needs to go. I'm keeping a white frizzle cockerel and I heard mixing two frizzles is bad. She's pretty, but she's missing the feathers on her legs. PM if interested.
So, this cockerel, the black pullet, the silver (or blue) pullet, and the red maybe pullet are all from the egg swap. They are some good looking birds. The red one has blue legs. Does that mean it'll lay colored eggs?
See, this one has a bit of a comb and wattle, but not very big or red. So I'm just not sure whether it is a male or female. It's a cool looking bird.
I'm keeping these two blue ladies. They are just too pretty! I'm going to add them to my egg laying flock when they are bigger. The one in the corner has fluffy legs.
Here's a mix of the birds. All the non-silkie/showgirls are from the egg swap. Two roos and maybe 4 ladies. The black lady has such a lovely green tint to her feathers. There's my super ugly showgirl rooster too. I need to figure out how to castrate him or something. I kinda like him, but I definitely don't want him breeding. And one of my young silkies named Copper. Waiting on her to lay.
I have this little frizzle cochin whom I can't keep. She's pretty, except for the missing leg feathers that she is supposed to have. I just like the frizzled boy better.
