And here is Prince hanging out with the chickens. He will be 2 years old in 2 weeks.
Sir Oliver with his lady friend Miss Daisy, these two seem to have taken to each other, I noticed yesterday that he was following her, and today it was very obvious that he is hanging out mostly with her, tonight they are sitting next to each other on the perch. I am glad she found a friendly soul, I was a bit worried because I got her all by herself and she had to start at the bottom of the pecking order. She is a very smart little pullet, she is also pretty determined and she is already earning herself a spot at the food bowls with the older hens, so she is integrating herself well. she just didn't really have any buddies, but now she has a little companion to hang out with.
Miss Daisy, the mystery pullet that lays a pretty bluish green egg
Sir Oliver and his new ladyfriend Miss Daisy
egg line up, I love all the different colors of the eggs
the same eggs from another angle
in a different light
A bowl full of colorful eggs, note the bluish one of Miss Daisy in the foreground to the left, the small darker brown egg behind it is from a Jersey Giant still laying pullet eggs too.
not the best picture, but it shows the pullet egg from Miss Daisy next to a Jumbo egg from another pullet, I think it's from a Jersey Giant, but not sure, it had two yolks. This egg was over 3 inches long
A few of my hens lay a pretty dark terracotta colored egg, one is from a Delaware, one from a Black Jersey Giant and the other dark one is from a Ameraucana, pictured here is just one of the dark eggs next to a green egg and a pinkish brown egg
