I know others don't share our love for chickens but we really do enjoy our feathered friends.
Our chicks have grown and look a lot different from when they were little balls of fluff. We have tried to identify the breeds.
Here are our best guesses, and the names we have given them. We tend to mostly name those of the same breed the same or very similar names.
The one in the front I think might be a Speckled Sussex (though not as speckled as some images I have seen that is my best guess)
We named one Rooster and the other two of this breed Ostrich.
One was more dominate, and seemed more interested in checking us out. Generally acting more like our Rooster than any of our hens.
The other two, at least one, twice when we moved them into the smaller outside coop, was afraid of us and when we would open the door, it would stick its head in the slats of the pallet walls or in the hay to hide from us. Apparently unaware we could see the rest of her clearly.
On the left is what we think is a Speckled Sussex, and the right a Black laced, Red Wyandotte. We named her Emu because she is a bit bigger than the others.
Center Front, we think is one of two Blue Laced Red Wyandottes. We call them Pigeon because of the grey color. My Sweetheart really likes the coloring on this one. I really like Emu.
We have three of these, We believe they are Cuckoo Marans, possibly French Cuckoo Marans.
We just call them all Cuckoo
Does that mean we have three French Hens ???
I failed to get a picture of one that is similar to the Cuckoo Marans, but more black.
We call her Crow.
