Dinner-to-be

Could not make a complete listing of my chickens without including the broilers. A mixed breed designed to grow very fast.








I got blacks and reds











This example I weighed a few nights ago: only 7 weeks old and 2 pounds already






This one doesn't seem to belong with the others, but she's just as big











Though she is about 3 weeks older than the broilers, Spot shares space with them. Too big to be with the 'babies', too little for the layers. They are already overtaking her. (I will rescue her from their fate, of course)

Another batch of growing chicks

I showed you Sonic before, she is an "Easter Egger",

they are bred to lay green or blue eggs.

Here are three different versions of the Easter Egger among the chicks:
I think I'll call this one Cleopatra because of her Egyptian eye makeup

I've never seen an all white Easter Egger: This is Pearl

Haven't named this cutie yet

Here's an unusual pair:
Notice the standard Barred Rock in the front and her sister behind her 'Lucky' IS a Barred Rock but why doesn't she have stripes like the others? She is unique, so she WON'T be going in the freezer this year. Makes her a lucky hen.

Looks like a Barred but actually a Maran, when this one lays, they will be 'chocolate eggs' (very dark brown), her name is Simone.
