New Pullet,



I got this new pullet today, I thought at first she is a Rhode Island Red, but with her bright yellow legs and white earlobes I am thinking she may be a Brown Leghorn, the lady I got her from didn't know what she was, and she said she hadn't been getting any eggs. The pullet looks like she will start laying any day, she is just about that age.
another shot of Daisy the new pullet, I think the previous owner's puppy's name was Daisy, seems like a fitting name for the pullet in memory of her other family. I am sure she feels a bit lonely without her 3 rooster friends she grew up with, she doesn't even know how lucky she is to get away from them just in time before they start harrassing her. The previous owner said they had just started "playing" with her. I had to justify getting another chicken, here it is, I had to save her from the roosters.

He is such a pretty little fellow

Pearl


Bianca in the foreground and Pearl in the back, they are my two Delaware hens, they were both sick not long ago and last winter they never grew back their feathers from the rooster damage, so I had to put up heat lamps to keep them from getting too cold, now they both have beautiful new feathers and no problem staying warm


A giant egg, I measured it and it was 3 inches long, it had two perfect seperate yolks inside.


In this picture Bianca is in the back and Pearl in the front, from what I can tell, chickens that are the same breed and were raised together around other chickens still seem to hang out with each other. I am so happy to see these two looking so good again and being active and even laying eggs again.
