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.
