MEET THE CHICKENS
 
Ameraucana
This breed lays blue or green eggs. Our breeder said she tagged this chick as one of the babies of a hen that lays very blue eggs. We'll see  how blue they are in about 2 months.

Ameraucana
This is one of the new little chickens we have. We are not sure yet if it's a boy or a girl. It's chest bumping with one of the Merans.
This little chicken is no longer with us since 9-8-12 :( read more

Nakedneck-Deceased
Her name is Beercan and we gave her this name because she is a little ugly. We figured she would be the first chicken to end up on our grill as a beer-can-chicken. But she is actually our most friendly chicken and very curous about everything that is going on in the garden.

Brahma 3
To be honest, I'm not sure which of the 3 Brahmas this one is. All I know is that we have three of them, they look exactly alike and they never leave each others side.

We call this chicken the fast one. When you walk into the pen and just open the door a sliver, this chicken bolts to the door trying to get out. Sometimes she succeeds! I this picture she is sitting in the nesting box. Good girl!

I call her the golden chicken! She is very pretty. But she doesn't lay golden eggs :)

Black Meran 1
We got 4 new chickens of this breed. They lay chocolate brown eggs. The chicks are about 3 months now, so it will take a out 2 more months before they will lay.

Crested Polish
This is Beth's favorite chicken. (Beth is our neighbor). This chicken is super funny looking with its funky hair. One day Beth fed it youghurt and while it was picking at the yogurt the head feathers got covered with it. Super funny this chicken!

Are you Brahma 1, 2 or 3? Hopefully I will learn to keep them apart.

Leghorn
This chicken lays white eggs. We haven't really named the chickens but Mark always joked that if we get a Leghorn, we would name her Foghorn-Leghorn. :)

Easter Egger 3-Deceased
This is my favorite chicken. I think she is very pretty with her beautiful dark brown feathers. We think this is one of the chickens that lays blue/green eggs. She might have layed the double yolk egg we got a few days ago.

Who are you? Brahma 1, 2 or 3?
Beth and Mark named these three Brahmas the Kardashians :)

Easter Egger 2
I caught this chicken mid running when I took her picture. I guess she doesn't like her picture taken.
